We all suffer the results of Adam’s actions through the law of thermodynamics, in all we experience around us, every day of our lives – literally.
“What about that Ark thing that guy Noah built, man? How did he get ALL the animals on it? How did he fit all those big elephants and giraffes in it?”
“Good questions, Moonbeam. Many people ask about it. Just how big was that Ark? First off, the ark was NOT a boat; it was more of a barge. This vessel was made of gopher wood. Some speculate that it may have been a type of tree that is now extinct. Others think it was a process of laminating wood.”
“Yo Conti, maybe Noah just told his sons to “go for wood” boys.”
“Moonbeam, I don’t think they spoke English back then.”
The Ark just needed to float “upon the face of the waters”, Gen.7:18. As to its size, (all close approx.), it was 450 feet in length, by 75 feet in width, by 45 feet high. Big enough to accommodate 569 standard railroad box cars.
Let’s put this into perspective. Noah didn’t have to run around the pre-flood world attempting to collect EVERY animal. God sent the animals to Noah. He sent two of each “kind” – one male and one female to reproduce after the flood. God only needed to send Noah two of the dog kind; which at that time was probably something like a wolf. Even the hard core evolutionists feel that all current species of dogs originated from a wolf-like animal. Therefore, all the current species of dogs came from this original “wolf kind”. All the hundreds of dog species have come either by natural selection (loss of information) or artificial breeding (loss of information) – see Part V; same for the horse. God sent two of the horse kind to Noah. He didn’t need to send two Shetland ponies nor two draft horses nor two zebras; same with the cat kind. Again, even the evolutionists state that your domestic house cat is a genetic offshoot (loss of genes) from the big cats (lions, tigers, pumas, etc.).
God only needed to send animals to Noah where ”all in whose nostrils was the breathe of life”, Gen. 7:22. He did not need to send him insects (especially termites) – they breathe through their abdomen and seem to do very well after major natural upheavals, i.e. Sendai Japanese earthquake, Katrina, and Mount St. Helens. Even after many of our Atomic Bomb tests, those little buggers just kept on ticking.
As for any animals that live in the water, Noah obviously didn’t need to bring them; and many did perish in underwater upheavals during the deluge. Remember the “whale on its tail”, and the fish giving birth? When all is said and done, that leaves only around a maximum of 20,000 different animal kinds that needed to board the ark.
“Yeah, but how did Noah squeeze through the ark door those big ‘uns – huh??”
“Moonbeam, the big animals were at one time small. God would have sent Noah juveniles of each kind. You want ones that are young, healthy and will be able to reproduce in the new post-flood world. Not the old, big and fat sluggish ones that can’t. The size of the average animal onboard the ark was about the size of a sheep. If you do your calculations, all these animals took up only about one third of the space in the ark. That leaves PLENTY of room for people and food and other supplies.”
“Hey Conti, that God guy of yours isn’t so dumb after all.”
As a reminder, the people of the pre-flood world had become evil. “… and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually”, Gen.6:5. They never had it so good. “…there went up a mist from the earth, and watered the whole face of the ground”, Gen. 2:6. There was no need for rain. The ENTIRE pre-flood earth was lush with vegetation. When God “cause(d) it to rain upon the earth 40 days and 40 nights”, Gen. 7:4. “These people were freaking out, Moonbeam – they had never ever even seen rain!!”
The ark landed “upon the mountains of Ararat”, Gen. 8:4, after the yearlong flood. God commanded Noah to remain on the ark a bit longer. Cataclysmic events were still occurring (i.e. formation of the Grand Canyon) during this post-flood period. God wanted to keep Noah, his family, and the animals safe.
Upon exiting the ark, God made a covenant with Noah. “My bow shall appear in the clouds”, Gen. 9:14, as a sign that He would never again send a flood to devastate the whole earth. If Noah’s flood was a local flood, then God lied because there have been many local floods since.
“Why a dumb rainbow, Conti?”
“Excellent question Moonbeam. Because in order for a rainbow to occur you need RAIN! If rainbows had been commonplace prior to the flood, that would have been a very weak gesture as a covenant by God. Therefore, Noah and his family had NEVER seen a rainbow before.”
All our coal, oil, natural gas are called fossils fuels, formed by sedimentation of rapidly buried (before they rotted or were devoured) vegetative plant and animals. See Part 6. Our esteemed evolutionists can figure out, based on known fossil fuel formations, how much vegetation/animal matter was needed to create those “evil” fossil fuels we use. Think Sinclair gas dinosaur logo. The entire pre-flood earth was essentially a Garden of Eden. The levels of CO2 (the evil greenhouse gas) was much higher back then. More plants and animals equal more CO2. Check out the warmth and CO2 levels in a zoo greenhouse sometime. That’s why we find palm trees, coal beds, and animal fossils even at the poles! That’s a lot of quickly squished animals and plants put under pressure and heat. Example: the oil on Alaska’s North Slope in the ANWR.
“You mean like really cold, like North and South Poles, man?”
“Obviously Moonbeam, the pre-flood earth had a very mild climate, much different than today. Talk about Global warming! The pre-flood earth with its lush vegetation and temperate climate was one giant greenhouse. Any evolutionist worth his salt will tell you, based on the amount of fossil fuels today, how much vegetation/animal matter it would take to create these fossil fuels. And that we do not have anywhere near that quantity on the current earth. They will tell you of course, that all this happened slowly over millions of years when there were more vegetation/animals and the accompanying higher CO2 levels.”
One study was done in 2003 at the University of Utah by Dukes (an ardent evolutionist). The paper was entitled “Burning Buried Sunshine: Human Consumption of Ancient Solar Energy.” In it, Dukes conducted numerous calculations to determine how much plant material buried “millions of years” ago was required to produce the oil, natural gas, and coal consumed by modern society. “Fossil fuels developed from ancient deposits of organic material, and thus can be thought of as a vast store of solar energy that was converted into plant material by photosynthesis. It took an incredible amount of plant matter to generate the fossil fuels we are using today,” says Dukes.
“A staggering 98 tons of prehistoric, buried plant material – that’s 196,000 pounds – is required for each gallon of gasoline that we burn in our cars, SUVs, trucks, and other vehicles” according to the study. Dukes found that we would need to harvest 22% of all land plants just to equal the fossil fuel energy used in 1997!
The fatal flaw in this study (and others) is that the fauna and flora seem magically to have repeatedly grown back, and then repeatedly been buried again and again (under PERFECT conditions each time) over those “millions of years” to form the multiple gas, oil, and coal formations that exist today. Ask those evolutionary scientists HOW and WHY there was more fauna and flora repeatedly re-growing, leading of course, to repeatedly elevated levels of CO2 in the past? Why and how have all these animals and plants disappeared today and neither is any significant gas, oil, or coal formation occurring, if “the present is the key to the past”? Does this really sound like science to you, or a fairy tale?
I believe you’ll get the Jackie Gleason answer: Hubbada, hubbada, hubbada. They can’t use a local flood as an excuse; nor multiple local floods; nor incorporate the multiple sloooow sedimentation model. Remember, stuff lying around is eaten or rots and/or decays when exposed!!!
Suggest to these evolutionists/atheists the only logical answer is the ONE all-encompassing Noahic geo-cataclysmic event that denuded the entire planet –quickly buried the ENTIRE biomass of earth – and created the massive oil, gas, and coal fields. This, in turn, changed the entire hydrologic, meteorological, and ecologic system of the planet (and lowered CO2 levels) and is the only thing that makes sense. Then watch the contortions begin and their eyes bug out!
If man didn’t even evolve until 2-3 million years ago at MOST – who was driving those SUV’s creating the global warming back then?
“The GEICO ape men?”
“No, Moonbeam, this was God-made (global) warming by design, only 6000 years ago.”
Eventually God permitted all to exit the ark, with orders to multiply and spread out over the earth. The animals obeyed, but the generations after Noah did not. Ultimately, the generations of the sons of Noah left the mountains of Ararat, which is in Turkey, going down to the plains of Shinar, which is located in present day Iraq. Man continued to disobey God and built the Tower of Babel there.
“OK, let’s slow down and back up for a bit. With the advent of Adam and Eve being thrown out of the Garden of Eden, our “thermometer” law, Moonbeam- the second law of thermodynamics- starts to take effect on all levels, including our genetic level. Mistakes were now starting to occur in the genes of Adam and Eve and their children (as well as all plants and animals). This always brings up the question of who did they marry? Brothers and sisters initially married one another.”
“C’mon man, you mean I’d have been marrying my sister SC? Grooooss!”
“SC, Moonbeam?”
“We call her that for short. Her full name is Star Child. Although my friends say her name really stands for Space Cadet. Man, how can one marry his own kin?”
“Well Moonbeam, you have a choice; if you don’t marry a human, what are you going to marry, an ape?”
“Yeah man, but my sister?”
Somehow people who believe in evolution don’t think of their past “relatives” as hairy ape marrying another more or less hairy ape. Look at the pictures in your own Biology textbooks of some “semi-human ancestor” of yours – you don’t even want to begin to contemplate such a sexual union – which means down deep in your soul you really don’t believe in evolution. Man has always been man. And woman has always been woman.
“But isn’t that incest and your kids are born messed up and all?”
It’s called genetic load and the bottleneck didn’t even begin to occur until after the Flood. Who got off the ark? Besides old Noah and old Mrs. Noah, it was his three young sons and their fertile wives. It was these six who began to repopulate the earth. And again, initially brothers and sisters had to marry. Man disobeyed God again, and remained together at Babel.
“And they said: Come, let us make a city and a tower, the top whereof may reach to heaven: and let us make our name famous before we be scattered abroad into all lands”. Gen. 11:4
With God confusing their language into many tongues, they were forced to splinter into their own people groups, abandon the tower project, and spread across the globe. They also took with them their unique genetic traits (the different ways we look); therefore, isolation of info/DNA. This furthered the genetic strain and the mutations relative to their whittled down numbers, which we like to term “races” (again our different people group appearances). This of course is a misnomer since there is only one “race” – the human race.
Now God, our designer and manufacturer, realized the mutation (genetic) load was building up. He permitted intermarriage at the first offspring (bro &sis) level until the time of Moses. At that point He gave the Levitical Laws to Moses, one of which prohibited close intermarriage, which we know today as incest. Remember even Abraham married his half-sister which was 500 years before the Mosaic Law. Of course, some of the European royalty, even into the 1800’s, refused to obey the Mosaic mandate and paid the price with all manner of imbecilic offspring and a host of other medical aliments.

Check out an excellent article in NATURE, the prestigious evolutionary journal, #488 (7412):471-475 on the “Rate of de novo mutations…”
A mutation expert, Alexey Kondrashov, (an honest evolutionist) reviewed this study and agreed with the author’s conclusions that the accumulation of mutations in humans is contributing to the increased incidences of diseases. He writes: “Because deleterious mutations are much more common than beneficial ones, evolution under this relaxed selection will inevitably lead to a decline in the mean fitness of the population.”
Gee, I thought evolution (and mutations) was supposed to be upward and onward, not downward and deathward!
Evolutionists assume man has been around for +/- 2.5 million years. Assuming a generous 20 years between generations, that adds up to @ 125,000 generations over that 2.5 million year time span.
If you assume a Biblical timeline of 6000 years, there has been only +/- 300 generations from Adam until the present day.
That NATURE study, found an average of 60 NEW mutations are ADDED to each NEW generation!
At 60 mutations per generation, over the 125,000 generations of the imaginary 2.5 million years, that calculates out to 7,500,000 mutations in the human genome (all of our DNA).
At 60 mutations per generation, over the 300 generations of the Biblical 6000 years, that calculates out to only 18,000 mutations in the current human genome. A BIG difference!
“So what! Who cares man?”
“You should Moonbeam. At that mutation rate you should have already been extinct for well over two million years.”
“HUH!?”
Here’s the kicker. One study estimated a collapse of the human genome after +/- 30,000 years, or within 1500 generations to extinction!
“You mean I wouldn’t even be around to marry my sister?”
“Moonbeam you are a trip.”
Evolutionists have no bounds. Truly believing that man evolved from the apes, they performed experiments trying to mate humans with apes. And they are still trying.
“I don’t believe it, man. Dude you’re weird.”
“No, Moonbeam, the evolutionists are.”
In 1926 in Russia, Stalin, a hard core atheist and evolutionist, ordered their top animal-breeding scientist, Ilya Ivanov, to breed a race of super warriors. Stalin, a former Catholic had early-on considered the priesthood. The siren song of Darwin changed all that. He is reported to have ordered Ivanov – “I want a new invincible human being, insensitive to pain, resistant and indifferent about the quality of food they eat”. Ivanov was engaged and sent to West Africa to perform the experiments. Female chimpanzees were artificially inseminated with human sperm from the black populace. Ivanov felt that the black was the closest in lineage to the ape. The experiments were a failure.
Back in Russia, a lab was set up to inseminate female human volunteers with monkey sperm. Needless to say these experiments also failed miserably. Ivanov was then sentenced to five years in exile in Kazakhstan for his failures, where he died in 1932.
“And Moonbeam, the saga continues today.”
“Nobody is going to insperminate me, man.”
“The term is – inseminate. Being that you are a male, I don’t think that would be possible.”
“Whatever man!”
“Moonbeam, did you ever want to be a Super Hero?”
“Oh, yeah man. Wolverine, one of the X-men. He’s super cool man.”
“So if scientists injected you with genes from other species that attempted to give you sight like an eagle, strength of a gorilla, and stealth of a jaguar, you would be accepting of that? It’s called Transhumanism.”
“Wow! Who wouldn’t man?”
“I kinda thought so.”
Francis Fukuyama, professor at Johns Hopkins School of Advanced International Studies, is author of – Our Post-Human Future: Consequences of the Biotechnology Revolution, and is a member of the President’s Council on Bioethics. He has called Transhumanism the world’s MOST dangerous idea. He identifies Transhumanism as “a strange liberation movement” that wants nothing less “than to liberate the human race from its biological constraints.” Sounds ominous, and well it should be.
This will be touted by the secular humanists as being helpful for humanity to cure diseases. Genetic engineering can be (in some cases) akin to the nine year old with the new chemistry set for his birthday. Yee Haa! Once you start injecting genes from one species into another, no one, repeat – NO ONE knows what the long term consequences will be. Already scientists are injecting genes from INSECTS into fruits and vegetables and feeding these abominations called GMO (Genetically Modified Organism) foods to animals and humans. P.S. This has been going on since approx. 1994. Yes, since 1994! Remember the Flavor Saver Tomato? Europe refuses to accept our GMO corn. Japan is doing a watch-and-wait study of our children here in America to see, over time, how GMO’s affect them.
“Now tell me there are not government agencies around the world who would not like to produce the first Transhuman Warrior? Maybe even you Moonbeam, could volunteer for one of these programs and get your wish to become an X-man.”
“Still sounds cool man. Jaguar – I always wanted to be a Transformer.”
“Tell that to the animals with tumors, enlarged organs, infections, and other defects from the GMO food they are feeding them, and then marketing these animals for your consumption.” The ethical scientists are being derided, muzzled, and fired if they try and expose the fraud and lack of testing of these GMO animals and produce.
Mating humans with monkeys and apes will never work; and bioengineering with other animals to make a super human is foraging into those same areas that are potentially very dangerous. All Stalin, Ivanov, and any evolutionist had or has to do is read our operator’s manual written by the Engineer who designed us all to learn that:
“All flesh is not the same flesh: but there is one kind of flesh of men, another flesh of beasts, another of fishes, and another of birds”. 1 Corinthians 15:39
“My professor told me that scientists had crossed a zebra with a donkey and got a zonkey; and also a lion and a tiger and got a liger.”
“Moonbeam, you are PROVING my point: This shows that these animals originated from the same basic Biblical “horse kind” and “cat kind” that Noah brought on the Ark (pre-flood). It was AFTER the flood, as they moved away to different locals, that started the differentiation (through geographic and environmental pressure) into the many diverse species we know of today.” – Still loss of info (DNA).
Man was created unique from the animals. We are not just a speaking animal who evolved to “top dog” status. God placed us in the role of “dominion” over all creation, which is a position of benign sovereign authority, protector, and husbandry over the earth and the creatures God placed in our care. Man, unfortunately, has at times behaved like a malevolent tyrant, giving cause for outrage by the “greenies” (tree huggers, mother Gaia, earth-first groups) and PETA.
“Yeah man, People Eating Tasty Animals.”
“No, Moonbeam. It’s People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals.”
Ironically, those evolutionized companies, with “Christian” corporate officers, whose modus operandi is the “survival of the fittest”, have re-defined “dominion “ to be the autocratic despot, a Simon Legree- stylized foreman with whips, chains, and cages. Some of the major agra businesses are guilty of these infractions against earth, sea, and animal (and humans as well). Their attitude is: “we are surviving, therefore we must be the fittest” i.e. we can damn well do what we please with these inferiorly evolved animals, crops, people – we’ll make them better!
Remember with evolution there is NO right or wrong, only what is in the best interests of self or corporation involved with crony style capitalism; i.e. companies that are in bed with government officials (kickbacks for their campaign war chests), in exchange for favors (special tax bennies and relaxed EPA and FDA rules and regs) which gives them an unfair advantage over their competitors.
The greenies and the PETA crowd also have it wrong, from the other side of the same evolutionary coin. They believe that since humans are just evolved animals, the apes therefore are our “cousins”. The apes, by proxy, should have equal legal rights with humans. Mother Gaia bore us all anyway.
“HUH?! Wha the… You mean SC could marry an ape?”
“Yes, Moonbeam – EQUAL LEGAL RIGHTS with us!! In 2006, Sharon Tendler, a British citizen, married a dolphin. Check out PETA’s website for confirmation of this Equal Legal rights issue.”
If evolution is true, then experimentation on humans is perfectly OK. The act of giving primates equal legal rights with humans makes perfect sense! P.S. Dr. Josef Mengele, the Angel of Death, did medical experimentation upon the Nazi concentration camp prisoners at Auschwitz (while they were still alive). He was to be prosecuted for “crimes against humanity”, based, of course, on Judeo-Christian principles. You cannot prosecute someone for “crimes against humanity” based on evolutionary standards – since there is no right or wrong! Refer back to Dr. Provine again. P.P.S. Mengele escaped before capture.
“And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth”. Genesis 1:26
