The Bible is both illogical and immoral.

He has made the contention that the Bible is both illogical or immoral. However, he has not issued a standard of morality by which he is judging the Bible. While the Bible may not conform to some peoples' ideas of morality, the Bible can be shown to conform to its own morality and not contradict it. And as for it being illogical, I will show that the Bible does conform to logic as we understand it. Pro has made a few arguments here. I would ask that in the interest of space, he either keep these arguments and rebut my objections to them, or drop the arguments altogether if he wishes to make new ones. MoralityPro has used Deuteronomy 22:20-21 and 22:28-29 as his examples of the Bible's alleged immorality but has not made an argument as to why the Bible in these passages is immoral. As such, I have nothing to respond to and ask that he explain why he considers the Bible immoral in these cases. LogicAs for his claims of the Bible's illogic, he uses Noah as an example. Was the ark really too small to carry all the animals? Let's find out. First, let's look at the dimensions of Noah's Ark. Noah was instructed to make the ark 300 cubits long, 50 cubits wide, and 30 cubits high. A cubit was about 18-20 inches. [1] This made the ark about 450 feet long, 75 feet wide, and 45 feet high. It was basically a huge rectangle, which also made it very stable on the water. The total volume inside the ark was about 1,518,000 cubic feet. This would have fit 569 modern railroad stock cars. Now, not every single type of animal would have been brought on board, but only those "kinds" of animals. For example, the canine family includes 14 genera of dog-like animals including coyote, dog, wolf, etc. Only two dogs would have had to be brought on board then after the flood, all the types of dogs would branch off from the one saved by the flood. Many writers have used different numbers as to how many animals were actually on the ark. If we use a conservative figure of 40,000 animals (that's 35,000 as used in The Genesis Flood by Doctors Morris and Whitcomb, plus additional animals accounting for those that have gone extinct), we can see that the ark easily could fit all the animals. Consider the previously mentioned railroad stock cars. Each stock car can hold about 240 sheep. Most animals were not very large, and the ones that were larger were certainly represented by young. All 40,000 animals could have easily fit into the ark, considering that 569 stock cars could fit into it. Each stock car has a capacity of 2,670 cubic feet. Which means that one sheep (one animal) would require 11.125 cubic feet of space. So we have 40,000 animals, times 11.125 ft^3 of space, equals 445,000 ft^3, which means that only 29% of space on the ark was used up by the animals. [2]As far as the physical evidence, the Scriptures indicate that Noah's ark came to rest in the mountains of Ararat (Gen. 8:4), which is in modern-day Turkey. Some have tried to search for the ark, some have been kidnapped while trying, and for the most part, expeditions are not allowed by the government of Turkey. Some have even claimed to find possible evidence of the ark. However, it is unlikely that after all this time any physical evidence of the ark would remain. Finally, when God created Adam and Eve, he created the perfectly (Gen. 1:26-31). By the time of Noah genetic degradation hadn't yet occurred to the point where having incestuous relations was forbidden. It wasn't until the time of Moses that laws against incest were first instituted in the book of Leviticus. [1] . http://www.answersingenesis.org...;[2] . http://www.biblestudy.org...;
