None, a yew was pregnant before the flood. The sacrifice was the baby lamb, pure and without sin. At least that's what I would say if I was stupid enough to believe such bull sh*t.
Also the fact that if there is only 2 of each species and "the first thing he did" was fucking sacrifice one of the animals, he instantly causes that species to go extinct

Used to be a Christian, and used to oversee the farming of 4000 pigs. Used to read the Bible over lunch everyday at the pig farm. While this was going on I noticed how when the 7 large electric fans at the ends of the pig sheds failed in a black out how quickly the pigs could become incapacitated, then unconscious and then mortalities would follow. Reading about Noah's ark... Looking after the sheds... Felt an acute panic/ cognitive dissonance when I realized that Noah's ark had one window, no forced electric ventilation, and instead of 1200 animals in a shed/boat, millions of animals. It's definitely a 'nope' from me. That's when I went right back to the beginning of the Bible and took a much more forensic examination. It's nice to get ones brain back from organised religion. 👍👍👍

God to Noah: Protect two of every animal for 2 months to ensure they survive to re-populate the earth and carry on their species for years to come Noah: *sacrifices one on the alter for the shits and gigs literally minutes after touching land* God: Am I a joke to you
So, I thought I'd hate the movie _Noah,_ with Russell Crowe. I didn't. I enjoyed it because it treats the Ark story exactly like what it is: mythology.

Those who wrote the bible were goat herders in the deserts of the middle east in the end of the bronze age. They had no idea of what the best thinkers of the time knew. Demokritos said a little later that everything was built up by atoms, that the stars were distant suns and that universe was endless. The goat hearders had never heard about that, and never up-dated their bible. Now the goatherders live in small towns.
Marcus Cunnington: in the bible, god either directly kills or orders killed something like 2.3 MILLION people. Depending on how many were alive on earth during his putative flood. The bible: Snuff fiction.
His face after pointing out the hooped earrings is so perfect in timing and expression. Just points, let's the audience go with it and then looks on with pride.
The flood Noah's arc story is based on is the random flooding of Tigris and Euphrates rivers in Mesopotamia. When civilisation in Mesopotamia was forming, a large one being the one in Uruk (what Iraq is named after) we can see the first instances of writing in a script called 'cuneiform', the very first story 'The Epic of Gilgamesh' was written in this script. In the epic, there is a man and his family who survive a massive flood caused by four gods (they got angry because of all the noise humans were making). They survive because one of the gods tells the man the god's plan and instructs him to build an arc to survive. The reason why the flood appears at all in the epic is because it's inspired by the Tigris and Euphrates (unlike the Nile and Indus river) irregular flood patterns. Mesopotamians can neither prepare nor escape the flooding. I feel like I shouldn't have to explain that 'The Epic of Gilgamesh' is just a myth, if you think Noah's story sounds ridiculous, it's because it never happened. BTW we know for sure Noah's story is ripped from the epic because the dialogue hasn't been changed, just translated from cuneiform to Latin.
Most ancient religions have a flood myth, from Greek mythology to Japanese Shintoism. More likely it's a memory of the absolutely massive flooding worldwide when the last Ice Age ended some 11,000 years ago (bearing in mind humans developed primitive language, art and religions around 26,000 years ago).
There are traditional stories of a big flood in many cultures. They don,'t "rip it" from each other! There probably was a great flood and each culture had their own story about it. Get educated and do real research if you want to be taken seriously.
I was showing this clip to my eleven yr old son and when Ricky asked "What did the squid do" @4:42, my son had the perfect answer. He said "I know what the squid did. He went up to the shark and tweaked his nose. WIcked". I've never been so proud, lol
So the first thing Noah did was make an offering (blood sacrifice) using one of the poor creatures that had been safe on the ark with him? So instantly that species became extinct.
Remember, god told Noah to bring two of each kind...and also two of each unclean kind and seven pairs of each clean kind. So he must've used a clean animal. Though perhaps after a year or more on that ark, there wasn't one millimeter of anything in there that was "clean" at all. Imagine the heaps of SHIT!
Zahin Vishnu: I wish that I'd been told "real" stories when I was a kid, and not filled my head up with things that aren't true. But then I couldn't have come here and had interesting TH-cam chats with so many interesting people, like yourself.
Zahin Vishnu: Yes. We do have more serious issues to worry about--and I bet a lot of us do worry about them. Sadly, we can't do much about them. We only get to vote every couple of years and probably aren't going to mount an armed resistance in between. Meanwhile, we can vent a little by arguing about kiddy tales. Keeps our minds going a little, maybe.
If that is all they believed, it would be totally fine. The problem is people are like "You don't believe this ludicrous thing I believe? What kind of child of mine are you, get out, go live on the streets" and "You don't believe this happened? I am going to attack and kill and ruin everything you love and believe in until you agree my impossible fairy tale is real". It's terrifying, you're right.

At least it didnt happen which is for the better for those millions of people. It just seems like some flood happened, and was exaggerated and made into a myth. A majority of the bibles tales are just metaphores for things.
Well that's because 1. There aren't as many Christians more. 2. There aren't that many Christians that are angry, crusading, marauding strict bible buffs.
I mean you gotta admit that a majority of the Bible is bs. Judaism is such an interesting religion because it promotes science in a way. A LARGE amount of Nobel prize winners are Jewish! Real reason for that is that the Torah is more so a book of laws/rules. An allegory really. The Torah shouldn’t be taken at face value because that isn’t the point, the point is in each story, the reason one should act. (There also is the history bit which is mainly true, which is just dictators using Jews as a scapegoat and trying to kill them all). I’m proud to be Jewish, but I’m also atheist. Judaism isn’t just a religion, it’s an ethnicity and a culture. Judaism promotes deep thought and debate on how to interpret it. I feel like the Bible almost perverts the Torah and turns it into something it’s not, almost cult like rather than a way of thinking. I remember hearing this thing that goes something like this (very paraphrased and probably quoted a bit wrong though), “there were 2 rabbis having a debate about the torah, they get another rabbi to come in and be a tie breaker, but that rabbi had a different opinion. One of the rabbis trying to prove his point, prays for god for it to rain, and it does. The rabbi then says to the others ‘see god agrees with me’. The other rabbis say it’s a coincidence. So the rabbi prays again and asks god to send a better sign to prove his point. So god shouts down to the other rabbis ‘that rabbi is right!’ The rabbis then start arguing with god and saying that he’s wrong.”
I would suggest you to stop being religious if you want to preserve your sanity and brain cells. Otherwise, it will degrade your brain so much, you will lose common sense and rational thinking ability. Just an advice. Take it out leave it. Your wish.
About 12,000 years ago, as the ice shields retreated in the face of warming weather in North America and as the last ice age was coming to an end, there was an accumulation of a massive amount of water, covering most of mid North America. The only thing holding this water back was an ice ridge in the east. But it too was melting and then one day, collapsed. The water that rushed into the Atlantic was enormous. What remained was what became known as the great lakes in Canada and the US. Meanwhile, the Mediterranean was mostly dry land, the ocean being held off at Gibraltar. Within time however, the water overwhelmed Gilbraltar, flooding the area and spawing flood stories through out all religions and civilizations from the Greeks (Atlantis?) to the sumerian epic Gilgamesh to great deluge stories in Scandanavia....
God: The Rainbow shall be a Symbol of Friendship with men. Right after totally annihilating nearly all of them... I think God is a Psychopath and just wanted Noahs attention.
Why are you a Christian? I was until I reached about 12 years of age and Science popped the illusory bubble of religion. Once you know that the world wasn't created by a 6 day magic trick there is no going back.

We all need a Ricky Gervais as our homeroom teacher. Who's with me?
Gervais seems to just get better every time, this was excellent.
So, I thought I'd hate the movie _Noah,_ with Russell Crowe. I didn't. I enjoyed it because it treats the Ark story exactly like what it is: mythology.
Don't forget: until now, you couldn't mock religion without being imprisoned, tortured or killed.
That has been normal for 99.99% of our history...
Be happy and keep on mocking 🙂
Yeah mock islam and see how that plays out. Maybe the west isn't as fanatical as it used to be but don't extend that to all religions.
in my country, people who mocks religion can still be imprisoned, tortured and even killed.

Those who wrote the bible were goat herders in the deserts of the middle east in the end of the bronze age. They had no idea of what the best thinkers of the time knew. Demokritos said a little later that everything was built up by atoms, that the stars were distant suns and that universe was endless. The goat hearders had never heard about that, and never up-dated their bible. Now the goatherders live in small towns.

The flood Noah's arc story is based on is the random flooding of Tigris and Euphrates rivers in Mesopotamia. When civilisation in Mesopotamia was forming, a large one being the one in Uruk (what Iraq is named after) we can see the first instances of writing in a script called 'cuneiform', the very first story 'The Epic of Gilgamesh' was written in this script. In the epic, there is a man and his family who survive a massive flood caused by four gods (they got angry because of all the noise humans were making). They survive because one of the gods tells the man the god's plan and instructs him to build an arc to survive. The reason why the flood appears at all in the epic is because it's inspired by the Tigris and Euphrates (unlike the Nile and Indus river) irregular flood patterns. Mesopotamians can neither prepare nor escape the flooding. I feel like I shouldn't have to explain that 'The Epic of Gilgamesh' is just a myth, if you think Noah's story sounds ridiculous, it's because it never happened. BTW we know for sure Noah's story is ripped from the epic because the dialogue hasn't been changed, just translated from cuneiform to Latin.
you could have given a spoiler warning
Most ancient religions have a flood myth, from Greek mythology to Japanese Shintoism. More likely it's a memory of the absolutely massive flooding worldwide when the last Ice Age ended some 11,000 years ago (bearing in mind humans developed primitive language, art and religions around 26,000 years ago).
There are traditional stories of a big flood in many cultures. They don,'t "rip it" from each other! There probably was a great flood and each culture had their own story about it. Get educated and do real research if you want to be taken seriously.
Oh shut up

I was showing this clip to my eleven yr old son and when Ricky asked "What did the squid do" @4:42, my son had the perfect answer. He said "I know what the squid did. He went up to the shark and tweaked his nose. WIcked". I've never been so proud, lol
What's the squid ever done?!?
***** ???
Looks like I'm not going to get to download much tonight, but I know your posts are always a plus!: )
***** : )`
The squid will be fine. It is a sea animal...
Not a lot... do we need em?
I just realized - so Noah gets off the ark and promptly killed one of the pairs of some animal in order to make a sacrifice. WTH??
And why the sacrifice was needed? didn't god took the sacrifice of whole planet ,by flooding it.😂
So the first thing Noah did was make an offering (blood sacrifice) using one of the poor creatures that had been safe on the ark with him? So instantly that species became extinct.
It was the unicorn
Remember, god told Noah to bring two of each kind...and also two of each unclean kind and seven pairs of each clean kind. So he must've used a clean animal. Though perhaps after a year or more on that ark, there wasn't one millimeter of anything in there that was "clean" at all. Imagine the heaps of SHIT!
Zahin Vishnu: I wish that I'd been told "real" stories when I was a kid, and not filled my head up with things that aren't true. But then I couldn't have come here and had interesting TH-cam chats with so many interesting people, like yourself.
Zahin Vishnu: Yes. We do have more serious issues to worry about--and I bet a lot of us do worry about them. Sadly, we can't do much about them. We only get to vote every couple of years and probably aren't going to mount an armed resistance in between. Meanwhile, we can vent a little by arguing about kiddy tales. Keeps our minds going a little, maybe.
Nope, he sacrificed the male and the female was already pregnant with a litter.

The funny part is that immediately after God's big "do over" the survivors started sinning again.
You'd think God would be smarter about such things.

Scary thing people actually believe this happened
If that is all they believed, it would be totally fine. The problem is people are like "You don't believe this ludicrous thing I believe? What kind of child of mine are you, get out, go live on the streets" and "You don't believe this happened? I am going to attack and kill and ruin everything you love and believe in until you agree my impossible fairy tale is real".
It's terrifying, you're right.

the toucans bit was hilarious. the part after it w/ the elephant is genius.
The writers of the bible were up against deadlines. Hence...they had to make it up quickly. It obviously didn't have to be good or make any sense.......at all........ever.
Written over 1,600 years by 40 different authors. Not exactly "up against a deadline" but you quickly made that up so, understandable.

At least it didnt happen which is for the better for those millions of people. It just seems like some flood happened, and was exaggerated and made into a myth. A majority of the bibles tales are just metaphores for things.

Go on good ol reading boy! Spot on ricky
Very Original. I love it
I'm religious, but I think this is hilarious.
I mean you gotta admit that a majority of the Bible is bs. Judaism is such an interesting religion because it promotes science in a way. A LARGE amount of Nobel prize winners are Jewish! Real reason for that is that the Torah is more so a book of laws/rules. An allegory really. The Torah shouldn’t be taken at face value because that isn’t the point, the point is in each story, the reason one should act. (There also is the history bit which is mainly true, which is just dictators using Jews as a scapegoat and trying to kill them all). I’m proud to be Jewish, but I’m also atheist. Judaism isn’t just a religion, it’s an ethnicity and a culture. Judaism promotes deep thought and debate on how to interpret it.
I feel like the Bible almost perverts the Torah and turns it into something it’s not, almost cult like rather than a way of thinking.
I remember hearing this thing that goes something like this (very paraphrased and probably quoted a bit wrong though), “there were 2 rabbis having a debate about the torah, they get another rabbi to come in and be a tie breaker, but that rabbi had a different opinion. One of the rabbis trying to prove his point, prays for god for it to rain, and it does. The rabbi then says to the others ‘see god agrees with me’. The other rabbis say it’s a coincidence. So the rabbi prays again and asks god to send a better sign to prove his point. So god shouts down to the other rabbis ‘that rabbi is right!’ The rabbis then start arguing with god and saying that he’s wrong.”
@@bananaeclipse3324 I agree, the Bible makes people cult like and would explain the many cults that have been born in the name of the God of the Bible
I would suggest you to stop being religious if you want to preserve your sanity and brain cells. Otherwise, it will degrade your brain so much, you will lose common sense and rational thinking ability. Just an advice. Take it out leave it. Your wish.
Imagine actually thinking Noah was real
I can watch him do that for much time

About 12,000 years ago, as the ice shields retreated in the face of warming weather in North America and as the last ice age was coming to an end, there was an accumulation of a massive amount of water, covering most of mid North America. The only thing holding this water back was an ice ridge in the east. But it too was melting and then one day, collapsed. The water that rushed into the Atlantic was enormous. What remained was what became known as the great lakes in Canada and the US. Meanwhile, the Mediterranean was mostly dry land, the ocean being held off at Gibraltar. Within time however, the water overwhelmed Gilbraltar, flooding the area and spawing flood stories through out all religions and civilizations from the Greeks (Atlantis?) to the sumerian epic Gilgamesh to great deluge stories in Scandanavia....
Thank you for being truthful in your account here. Unlike some ignoramuses who just want to believe the Bible is fake for whatever reason.

Believing in God isn't necessarily insane (I say as an atheist).
No matter how absurd is the bible, Christians still believe in it. Can someone explain to me this strange behaviour?
Why are you a Christian? I was until I reached about 12 years of age and Science popped the illusory bubble of religion. Once you know that the world wasn't created by a 6 day magic trick there is no going back.
