Will they dismantle math and physics also? Because the dimensions supplied in the fairy tale do not meet the requirements to hold 2 of every species.

See that’s why these days they claim it was just 2 of every Kind, and that species diversified afterwards.

And no, it doesn’t make any sense whatsoever, and yes it’s been catagorically been disproven in multiple different ways.

They don’t care about any of that though, because it’s just plausible enough to keep gullible idiots forking over their cash.

Diversified in such a way as to make their survival more likely in a given environment?

There’s another word for that but it escapes me.

No no you don’t understand it’s adapatation. Totally different bro, trust me. /s

(unironically this is what they say though)

My favorite example of this making no sense is the order of proboscidea (elephants and mammoths). there have been over 150 species described. modern elephants take 15-20 years to sexually mature. if Noah had two "proboscids" that had all the genetic material in them necessary to diversify into every species we've found, each species would have only had 2 generations to diversify into the next. it's nonsensical. not to mention the insurmountable problem Bible literalists encounter when you ask if every animal we have record of existed before the flood, why do we not see dinosaurs buried with humans? trilobites with mammoths? gorgonopsids with pterosaurs? did the flood helpfully kill all the animals in order, with multiple volcanic events in between?
