Oh, sorry we can't find a wooden ship dating back to the BC times. You'd really think it hasn't completely decayed by now?

Supposedly, the ark was 450 feet long. The largest wooden ships built were just over 300 feet, and they required diagonal iron strapping for support. Even with that, they leaked so badly that they needed to be pumped constantly. But somehow Noah, with no shipbuilding knowledge and no shipbuilding tradition to rely on, was able to build a wooden ship longer than any that has been built since. Sounds pretty impossible to me.


Who said he alone worked on the ship? I'm pretty certain the Bible wasn't too specific of how he did it, exactly.

Altair said there was proof that the Ark existed. I asked to see it. Stop being silly.

Yep. Cowz in space.

TL;DR *shot*

Well, my opinion...

I think there is no hell, but a heaven. I think there is either one big afterlife or several conneted ones. I belive there is no wrong or right religion. I believe everyone gets his or her "personal" heaven, kind of custom made for them.

I hate bad atheists, those that are like "There is no God, and if you disagree, you are the biggest idiot ever" and along similiar lines.

Etc.

There is no evidence of a god, but there is no evidence of no god. I'll have to wait and see. By the way, here are some things I do know:
Whatever you believe happens to you when you die happens. This is why I do not recommend believing in Hell.

A long, long time ago, in some weird other universe, it(The universe) grew so big and so old it simply fell apart, imploded, and exploded everything out to create our universe. Eventually our sun came to be, and it attracted matter. Our Earth formed when several lumps of matter grew so big they got their own gravitational field and became spherical. Sometime later, the Earth suffered a collision with a smaller planet that eventually became our Moon. Now, I won't go into details, but eventually asteroids containing water plummeted to Earth and formed the oceans. This created life (Microscopic life!) which evolved into worms. The worms evolved into fish, and some of the fish went up on land. They evolved into amphibians, which evolved into reptiles, which evolved into dinosaurs. By the Cretaceous period, some tiny mammals appeared. One day, a big meteor thing hit the Earth, which killed most of the dinosaurs. Those who survived that died of global warming(Or was it cooling?). Some plesiosaurs escaped by hiding underwater, and they adapted to cold, freshwater lakes. They evolved a bit, and became known as lake monsters(Think Nessie). Back to the story...
With the dinosaurs gone, the tiny mammals became dominant and evolved into several different species. Eventually, monkeys and apes appeared, and some evolved into the biggest disaster of evolution. Over time, those walking disasters evolved and became known as humans. Today, humans are polluting their own home, overpopulating the planet, killing each other, killing fellow animals, killing the ozone layer, everything is kill kill kill. If they don't act soon, within the next 100 years their planet will be almost completely flooded.

And there you have it!

There ARE theories that suggest global warming and cooling is a cycle that happens every X amount of years, instead of being primarily caused by our pollutants.

Science is proof enough. I can't hold up some ancient scroll that says "LOL DA ARK NEVAR HAPPENED!" because no one would write that if it didn't happen. There can never be physical proof that something didn't happen, because it didn't happen. That is why we have science and logic.

Altair probably referring to that ship-like rock formation they found. I personally don't believe that's the ark.
