Have you got a big enough extension? Maybe you can care for them all in your house. Or stop living your life to a rigid nonsensical doctrine that's completely incoherent because it was created from the musings of many different people.
Are you an offshoot of the Phelps ?

They'll have to answer to God for their gross inability to rightly handle the Word.

NGL, you're giving off this sort of vibe when you come out with shit like this.

How did a single extended family travel across oceans to all parts of the world, (most of which the Bible doesn't mention at all) - North America, Central America, South America, Arctic, Antarctic, Australia, and all the hundreds of islands across the world with unique animals. Then also journey through the vast neverending forests, jungle, mountains etc, picking up 2x each animal, penning them and then moving onto the next 2, all the while foraging for them and feeding the previously caught, then transporting back on (previously unmentioned in the bible) boats, with enough food for them.

The very small dimensions of the Ark are a mere trifle of idiotic believing, compared to the logistics of actually travelling to, locating, collecting, feeding, and transporting back all the land animals of the world and putting them in the Ark, with an singular extended family.

As per previous: Go and seek help, you really need it.

Noah and Co don't have to go anywhere .
So Noah went out, and his sons and his wife and his sons’ wives with him. Every animal, every creeping thing, every bird, and whatever creeps on the earth, according to their families, went out of the ark” (Genesis 8:15–19). The abundance and multiplication of the animals was also God’s will. The biblical principles that we can establish then are that, after the Flood, God desired the ecological reconstruction of the world, including its vulnerable animal kinds,and the animals must have spread out from a mountainous region known as Ararat.
The model im suggesting is constructed in good faith, to explain the observed facts through the “eyeglasses” of the Bible. The Bible is inspired, but scientific models are not.
For instance, a model example could use the multiplication of cats ( Feline genus/ kind/ family ) as an example of how animals could have quickly repopulated the earth through breeding . The huge variability in the gene pool ensures that within a relatively short time period, there would be an incredible number of cats of all variations. Lions x Tigers = Liger ( inter fertility)
These then began to spread out from the Ararat region to all parts of the globe. As these spread around the world, variations within the cat kind/ family led to many of the varieties we find today. But it is important to note that they are still cats. There is no crossing the kind/ family barrier. This multiplication of variations within a kind is the same with the many other kinds of animals. Reality


Modern Recolonizations
For example, the reports about Surtsey Island and Krakatoa and the multiplication of species.
Six months after the eruption of a volcano on the island of Surtsey off the coast of Iceland in 1963, the island had been colonized by a few bacteria, molds, insects, and birds.
Within about a year of the eruption of a volcano on the island of Krakatoa
in the tropical Pacific in 1883, a few grass species, insects, and vertebrates had taken hold. On both Surtsey and Krakatoa, only a
few decades had elapsed before hundreds of species reached the islands. Not all species were able to take hold and become permanently established, but eventually the island communities stabilize into a dynamic equilibrium.
There is little secret, therefore, how nonflying
animals may have travelled to the outer parts of the world after the Flood. Many of them could have floated on vast floating logs,
left-overs from the massive pre-Flood forests that were ripped up during the Flood and likely remained afloat for many decades on the world’s oceans, transported by world currents. Others could later have been taken by people. Scientists Savolainen et al., have suggested, for example, that all Australian dingoes are descended from a single female domesticated dog from Southeast Asia.
Another explanation of possible later migration and one worthy of special note is that animals could have crossed land bridges. This is, after all, how it is supposed by evolutionists that many animals and people migrated from Asia to the Americas — over a land bridge at the Bering Straits. For such land bridges to have existed, we may need to assume that sea levels were lower in the post-Flood period — an assumption based on a biblical model of the Ice Age .

Well there's an ultimate justice , a place that is reserved for the devil and his angels. Would you let an unremorseful rapist get off scott free ?

I’m a competent diy-er, but I would struggle to make a small water based leisure craft, so I do wonder how Noah was able to make such a huge boat with what I imagine was little in the way of woodworking skills and even less boat building knowledge?

Perhaps the beavers helped him as after all it was in their interests he was doing it.

So they never went anywhere?

Even though original scripture say they travelled and Continental Africa was classed as the lands populated by Ham
Europe the lands of Japeth
And Arabia and Israel the lands of shem

As they were not aware of the americas, polynesia and the antipedese they forgot to add them to anyones list, they steered clear of Asia as the religions they had knicked the story from were well cemented and also good traders of merchandise so never decided to rock the boat forcing faith upon them.

Mate, you're wasting your time. Go and speak to your Christmas tree, you'll get more sense.

Well there's an ultimate justice , a place that is reserved for the devil and his angels. Would you let an unremorseful rapist get off scott free ?

Would I "let"?

No, but I can also do nothing about their punishment, that is a matter for the courts to decide. You aren't interested in 'loving' God, you want others to fear Him. You want that power that is associated with that fear, one that has handcuffed human civil progress for centuries. There is no "ultimate justice", but again, you place your faith that there is; it gives you "comfort" to believe that there are countless billions writhing in endless agony. That's pretty messed up.

What kind of loving, benevolent God 'burns the bad people' for all eternity, rather than choosing to guide them, help them understand the error of their ways, and reform them to become good people? Surely a simple snap of His fingers would eradicate such evil thoughts and thus rid the world of evil?

Nope, just torture them forever for their sins. Free will and all that, can't get involved, but judges them for having it. One evil act makes them unredeemable in His eyes?

Ahh finally a decent book of multiple stories is mentioned in the thread.

You are Rudyard Kipling and I claim my prize!
