Noah's Ark

As we all know, Noah's Ark is a story about a man named Noah, who lived during biblical times. During these times, all of mankind was disobedient to God and so He decided to destroy the world, for He regretted He had made man. Noah was the only one whom God thought truly holy, and so set upon him a task: To build a great ark, collect every animal, male and female, and put them into the ark (an impossible task.) So, as the story goes, Noah goes about collecting "every animal" and puts them in the ark (built prior). God then floods the earth.

The bible tells us that Noah was 600 years old when the great waters came. He must have eaten loads of apples, drank plenty of water, or something like that. Skipping over this, we go to the next "fact". Noah's collection of the animals. Everybody knows he collects them two by two:

"...Of all other living creatures you shall bring two into the ark, one male and one female..."

But in another passage, the Bible says,

"...Of every clean animal, take with you seven pairs, a male and its mate; and of the unclean animals, one pair, a male and its mate..."

When the floods com, they last for forty days and forty nights. But a little later a passage reads,

"The waters maintained their crest over the earth for 150 days..."

After the rain has ceased, Noah sends out a dove to search for land. In the previous sentence, the Bible tells us Noah sent out a raven to do the exact same thing. Make sense? I didn't think so. If you read this story carefully, it may seem as though there are two different accounts of Noah, woven into one story. From this evidence, we can now say the bible is not true. Most Christians today acknowledge this, but there are some fundamentalists that believe everything in the bible is literal. That is a lie.
