tff we have witnessed macro-evolution in the life-span of human beings
I watched the darwhinist videos you posted , and I though all
this stuff was more or less common knowlege , such as the different dog species that were bred from wolves.
and all of the different rodent species , and flowers , and
insects and such .
I noticed that the person who made these unregistered videos
didnt take the time to research what he was opposing , the video
seems to think that there were only two of each kind...
Genesis 7:2
Of every clean beast thou shalt take to thee by sevens, the male and his female: and of beasts that are not clean by two, the male and his female.
in the videos he stated that if only two of each species of
insect was in the ark , the ark would sink.
now Im sure you realize that if the ark were filled with only the original species and not the multitude of diversities that have appeared since the time of the flood , that the insects
could easily have fit into just the roof and walls of the ark
and there were three ceilings inside , along with three floors
when you add in the walls , there was plenty of space for the insects.
Genesis 6:16
A window shalt thou make to the ark, and in a cubit shalt thou finish it above; and the door of the ark shalt thou set in the side thereof; with lower, second, and third stories shalt thou make it.
Im not sure why this person seems to rely on evoloution to fullfill his needs and deny evoloution at the same time by making this type of claim as his videos depicts rapid evoloution
in insects.
the ark was 100 cubits [L] x 50 cubits [W] x 30 cubits [H]
as for the size of a cubit the cubit has changed or evolved
over the years itself.
The earliest attested standard measure is from Egypt and was called the Royal Cubit (Mahe) and was 523 to 525 mm
1 cubit = .5 meters or 523 millimeters = 0.523 meters
From late Antiquity, the Roman ulna, a four-foot cubit (about 120 cm) is also attested.
1 cubit = 1.2 meters or 120 centimeters = 1.2 meters
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cubit Granted that Moses wrote Genesis , what was passed down to him
through memory as a measurement of lenght ie.. the cubit , could
have over thousands of years or longer before he wrote it down
been a measurement much like the roman 4 foot cubit.
judging from the size of the window.
so the ark could have been apx 1/2 a football field
or well over a football field in lenght
and width.
120 meters = 131.23... yds
using dogs as a basis , how many different breeds / species are there today?
and supposedly all these species/ breeds came from a single species of "wolf" in a not so distant past.
but back to the sinking of the Ark by just the insects...
does this person realize that the Ark could have displaced
over 566 million pounds of water?
which is the weight of 3.7 million - 150 lb men !!!
how many pounds does an insect weight?
just thinking about this , I could most likely carry several million ants or more myself , in a grocery bag !!
how many species / breeds / variations of animals / insects were there back before the flood?
one video or program I have watched recently states that 98% of all species that have ever lived on the earth are now extinct.
Of course many creationists reject macroevolution outright, almost always by attempting to redefine the meaning of the term.
I must not be the average creationist , I dont try to re-define things , I just try to re-create the scenario or try to find if the scenario is or is not possible.
and when something doesnt seem quite right I dont just fall in line with everybody else who thinks its right.
