Proving Noah's Ark
A University Student challenge me on
how there was no way all those animals could fit on Noah's ark, so I
had to do some research and to my surprise, it was not hard at all to
do the math on it.
However, before we get into the
numbers, we must first remove the misconception the evolutionists
hold to and that is that Noah had to fit two of every species into
the ark, but that is not what scripture says. It says 2 of every
"kind." Actually scripture says 7 of the clean "kinds"
and 2 of the "unclean" "kinds".
What is a "kind". We have
great examples of what a kind is and how a multitude of species can
be traced back to their "kind." For instance, while lions
and tigers are considered their own species, they can interbreed. SO
too can the many species of chickens, as well as llamas and camels.
Due to genetic loss and isolation, interbreeding of these "species"
is today limited, but going back in time, we see they came from the
same "kind."
Creation scientists have done deep
research on the issue and is available here at Answers In Genesis. They've narrowed down the number of kinds to 950. For arguments sake,
greatly in favor of the evolutionists, we will more than double this
number to 2000 "kinds". Since the ark is 450'L x 75'W x
45'H, this gives us 1.5 million cubic feet of space on board the ark.
Now to figure how many animals to
divide into that 1.5 million cubic feet of space. The Genesis account
states that Noah was to take 7 of the clean and 2 of the unclean
kinds. Given most land dwelling animals are of the unclean kind, this
should give us about 10% of the animals to count out of the 2000
kinds as clean and 90% unclean, but again, for arguments sake, let us
double that number to 20% of the 2000. This is now doubling the
numbers twice in favor of the evolutionists. So 400 clean and 1600
unclean. Here are the numbers - (7 x 400) + (2 x 1600) = 6000
animals
Now we divide the 1.5 million cubic
feet of space by 6000 = 250 cubic feet of space for each animal.
With the average size of the animals
being about the size of a lamb (considering squirrels and elephants,
etc), 250 cubic feet of space for a lamb would be more than enough
space for all the animals to fit aboard Noah's ark! And that is
giving the evolutionists far too much to argue the numbers.
Not only does historical genetic loss
research prove Noah's ark, it is the exact opposite of evolution. It
is genetic loss of information due to isolation and being a copy of a
copy of a copy. Eventually, the copies begin to deteriorate in
quality. So from the original genetic kinds we and the animals come
from, we are continuing to loose genetic information. For evolution
to be true, we need new and improved and more complex genetic
information. No where is this being observed. Noah's Ark and the
historical genetic loss is making quite the challenge for
evolutionists. Their view of mutations and "micro evolution"
leading to "macro evolution" is really just genetic loss
and isolation. They have yet to come to legitimate logical arguments
contrary to the present laboratory research and historical genetic
loss on record.
