I tried to avoid bring up religion in the Rushmore thread, but where is your response (Rushmore) to these points:

It's impossible because to do this Noah would have to travel the whole world which at the time was not possible, whilst bringing 2 of each animal along with you and feeding them for the whole ride. Thousands upon thousands of animals. (some of which live in areas that are inaccessible without modern equipment, some are hybrids that you would have to find in very small biomes , some cannot be touched because of poisons they have all over their bodies, you could go on and on)
Not only that but he would have to construct a ship that has housing for each of these animals, lizards and amphibians need certain lights to have chemical reactions in their body vital to their survival (turning vitamin d into D3 I believe is the main concern, they can develop digestive and bone density problems fairly quickly)
You would have to deal with pounds and pounds of animal excrement that contains viruses that, at the time, had no cures and could be fatal.
You would have to make sure the larger, aggressive animals (rhinos for example) have barriers between them and other animals that could withstand the charge of a 3 thousand pound pissed off bulldozer.
Some animals require constant moisture to survive, like water buffalo and amphibians, in the event of a flood that covers the earth, there would be nothing but salt water and these animals would die out.
These are just some things I can think of off the top of me head.
Also, I have a question. If Adam and Eve were the first 2 people, and the only 2 people at the time, and they were the source of the total human population we see today, after they had children, wouldn't their children have to reproduce through incest? I mean there aren't any other families around. Just the one.

Aww man, Snakes on a Plane can't even compare to Animals on an Ark. Noah must have had Ace Ventura language powers with the animals... so cool.
Imagine that... how far away from the mongoose do you put the cobra? What if animals start to eat the cane toad? How thick do the planks have to be to support an elephant? Where do all the burrowing animals go? Does the queen ant bring a single worker ant? Imagine how hard his life must be after the flood goes away... all that work, ungrateful b*tch. What about interbred species... do they count double? Albino animals? Siamese twins? Pandas? Does this mean that all species were once endangered? If so, humans are SAVING the planet. Oh my god, this ark thing is sweet... I could go on for (40) days.
I always loved these stories as a kid... they really pique your imagination.

One great memory I have of people like Rushmore is:
I was hanging with a bunch of friends smoking some blunts, and out of no where I just got all mad about this bitch I used to argue with in high school because she didn't believe in Dinosaurs, let alone some other crazy fundamental Christian bullshit I couldn't get over... so I brought up the story to my friends to explain how I couldn't understand people like that to pass some time...
While telling the story I immediately noticed my friend's girlfriend giving me this fucked up look and it hit me... SHE DIDN'T BELIEVE IN DINOSAURS EITHER. I didn't know whether to laugh or to just shut the fuck up.... but GOD DAMN, it was funny.
