This is a commercial but really shows the ridiculousness of Noah's Ark story...

The only Christians I know who believe the Noah's Ark story are fundies. Maybe some "regular" Christians do too, but I don't know any who do.

(67 posts)I always ask the people who believe that the flood actually happened what did the lions eat when they got off the ark ? There are only two zebras so a lion gets hungry in a few days and now there should be no more Zebras. Then I usually get insulted

(9,356 posts)Just watch the 1999 TV mini-series "Noah's Ark." Starring Jon Voight!
Finally, something on which Fundamentalists, Lib'rul Xians, Jews, Muslims and non-believers can agree - this movie sucks like a great big sucking thing.
The devout were outraged at the "historically inaccurate" - BWAH! - re-write of Holy Writ. The rest of us were too busy laughing.
It's almost like Ed Wood was miraculously resurrected and told to make the Biblical equivalent of "Plan 9 From Outer Space."
Lot's wife is turned to stone, but he keeps her finger in a jar. Huh? Later, during the Great Flood, Lot becomes...a PIRATE! And I thought everybody else was killed in the Flood - wasn't that the whole frigging point of the thing? Where TF did lot and his pirate ship...er, raft, come from?
The devout were really pissed off that, despite the title, a lot of the movie dealt with Sodom & Gomorrah. Which meant lots of jiggly T&A before Gawd nuked the place. Hubba-hubba!
Noah and his sons labor mightily, hewing wood to build the ark - except we can clearly see the wood is stamped "GEORGIA-PACIFIC" and just came from the local Home Depot.
Speaking of wood, there's the acting. WTF was the usually decent Mary Steenburgen thinking? I would guess simply: "Paycheck!" As for everyone else...well, for a famous Jewish myth, this thing sure was stuffed with ham. Also cheese and corn.
Naturally, Noah's sons smuggle Hot Babes onto the ark.
There is one brilliant artistic metaphor - when a Hot Babe is cuddling a cute little baby animal on the ark, and it takes a giant shit right in her lap.
That reminded me of Noel Coward's remark, when he was forced to attend a London production of a play he hated, featuring a child actress he hated even more, and a live horse onstage.
The horse came onstage, then promptly and largely defecated. Coward noted: "The producer could have solved all his problems, if he had only shoved the child's head up the horse's arse."
Anyway, if you ever see this thing skulking around the TV listings or downloads, DON'T MISS!
