The Noah's Ark story is a complete impossibility

Possible:Capable of happening, existing, or being true without contradicting proven facts, laws, or circumstances.Firstly before we delve into the circumstantial evidence I will show you why we cannot really trust anything.Descartes' DoubtNow lets take this to the highest level of skepticism, as found in Section IV of "A discourse on Method"-Rene Descartes.Descartes proposes to us the following terrifying reduction:1. Our perceptions of what is real depends on our senses and mind.2. Our senses have the ability to be false and our mind has the ability of delusions.3. If both one and two are true then there is no way for us to determine anything is true or false(let alone empirically evident), except for our own existence as for one to be able to think there must be something that is doing the thinking.4. If three is true then our understandings of the universe and it's history could all be a fantasy, and since that possibility exists it is certainly logical that Noah's Ark is not only possible but an equally valid to any other historical claim.If Con is to win he must show that there is reason to believe that there is objective truth and reality.Circumstantial EvidenceNow as an indicator for if Noah's Ark actually happened there would need to be to be three things:1.Evidence of flood/changes in sea level 7000 years ago.2. The descendants of the survivors of this flood would have passed down stories of this great flood all over the world.3. Evidence that human societies existed before 5000 BC.All three of these requirements are satisfied.1. We have recorded even after the passage of 7000 years recorded in excess of 600 great flood myths from Europe, Oceania, North America, Central America, Africa, Asia, and the Near East. You may read some here: http://www.talkorigins.org...The fact of so many widespread flood traditions with no way of being in contact points to a historical great flood. Many include the gods smiting humanity, numerous even include the details of a select few number of people surviving via ship. 2. One the best known under water Archaeologists in the world, Robert Ballard, made a startling discovery of a great flood which took place some 7000 years ago in the black sea which he describes as follows:"At some magic moment, it broke through and flooded this place violently, and a lot of real estate, 150,000 square kilometers of land, went under."http://abcnews.go.com...At Yonagumi Japan, under a good of water, there lay a monument of stone with sharp, near 90 degree angles, which has survived the tides of the sea for numerous millenniums. Additionally Professor Masaaki Kimura, who has himself made, over 100 dives has discovered other locations in East China Sea which indicate the presence of an ancient culture dating back as far as 10,000 years. The structure itself has been underwater for some 6000+ years. This is a clue or at least points to the existence of man before the supposed flood and civilization lost under water.http://www.bibliotecapleyades.net...These two examples should be sufficient to indicate the historicity of a Great Flood, however I will likely introduce more in later rounds. If Con finds evidence that humanity is not older then 7000 years, there is not indeed not a myriad of traditions around the world with great flood stories, nor is there any clue any other clue that a Great Flood has occurred in the past, then Con has eliminated the historical possibility of Noah's Ark.I ask you remember that we are dealing with God whom caused a universal flood that covered the earth over.While Genesis does specify he stores the food to later feed himself and "them." There is not a single passage that recounts Noah or his family ever feeding the animals. Here is why, how could 8 individuals feed all living creatures on such a massive ark? I do not reason it could be done. However I see no reason why God that created the heavens and the earth could not keep the animals in a sort of suspended animation which would not require food or oxygen. This is after all, the same God that sustained the Israelites on Manna alone. The many manners of food would have only needed to have been enough for Noah and his 7 co-passengers. If food and air are taken out of your equation there would certainly be enough room for Noah and the other survivors. This is especially true if the animals are of recent birth and are in there smallest possible form. http://www.biblegateway.com...All of these conclusions and reasons, are really no more then Circumstantial given that the universe and history is purely subjective. However assuming an objective universe they are all the more reason to find Noah's Ark as possible.I will now turn it back over to Con, thank you for making this debate, cheers!~Alex
