As far as provisions [for Noah], God provided for them through His miracle of supply. So there was always food for the animals in the feed buckets. I would imagine that God provided the trees for the lumber.

If he can give you miraculous food and wood, why can't he just give you a miraculous fucking boat in the first place? Hell, why go through all the pointless waste of a miraculous worldwide flood to kill everything bad except one family (which turned out to be a losing bet anyway, what with the whole drunkenness and incest thing), when you can just miraculously make the world perfect in one go?
And where did the pitch for the ark come from? I thought oil and tar came from trees buried *during* the flood, so it was available *before* the flood how exactly?
Yeah, i know, goddidit, it's the answer for everything.
So, why did God want this boat built in the first place? If he can magically supply millions of species with food, and remove their waste, for half a year or so, couldn't he just magically kill off all humans and leave all other animals where they were?
“As far as provisions [for Noah], God provided for them through His miracle of supply.”
A miracle he didn’t get credit for in Scripture? I thought the main purpose of miracles is to increase God’s glory. He should get full credit for every miracle performed in front of humans.
That would increase his glory, his repuration ANd it would mean you would have no need to sin by adding to Scripture. The Bible does say in a few places that it’s wrong AF to do so. Says it in the New Testament, which makes the Mormon Bible a bit of a non-starter. Also says it in the Old Testament, which makes the NT a bit sus, doesn’t it. But however that works, you’re sinning in your apology, here.
“So there was always food for the animals in the feed buckets.”
One goose feed bucket lasting all 14 geese for a full year would seem MORE miraculous than the oil lasting seven days.
“I would imagine that God provided the trees for the lumber.”
Then why didn’t he just provide the entire ark? Noah spent a year building the warehouse-with-a-keel, then another year mucking out stalls on three decks, why did God need that much labor?
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
