You haven't ever considered that the event didn't occur.

So you only believe because you fear hell? I can feel the faith and sincerity of belief.

Where did that food get stored? That is JUST for the humans!
Maybe they invented canned goods and freeze drying but forgot the techniques once they saw the first rainbow...

Come on now...are you making this up as you go???? Sleep a lot, ....hibernate.....eat little....poop little....I wish I had had such behaviors from my kids when they were toddlers.

If the Bible is correct, by virtue of the Saviours Atonement, those rejecting it in this life get to repent and be forgiven in the next. Who was Christ sacrificed for if not the unbelieving sinners?

Unbelivers burn in hell. Even though the Bible teaches where there is no law there is no sin, those who never hear of the Bible will be sent to a lake of fire and brimstone.
Sheep go to heaven, goats go to hell.

If you are arguing about whether the animals could have been "hibernating" then you must have conceded that they were on the Ark, therefore you recognize that God certainly has the power to accommodate the Ark passengers to whatever extent appropriate. If you are trying to argue that the Ark is unlikely because you can not "figure out" how the animals (however many) could have been supported then you suffer from basic flaws in logic: Take your pick, either is your Fail

Subby, when did the Great Flood of Noah take place (to the nearest century)? Assuming you believe that it did, in fact, happen as the Bible claims it happened.

After god shrunk the animals to 1/1000th their normal size, and Noah put them all in one shoebox, he put the shoebox in a stasis field (shrink rays and stasis fields being the aforementioned by sub accommodations of god). No feeding, no cleaning, easy peasy.
Left him a lot more time for shuffleboard. Mustn't forget about shuffleboard.
