Even the most brilliant atheist minds can not understand the simple concept God used in Noah and his family. God could have destroyed every animal on earth and started over again without two of every kind but God used Noah for many years as he was building the ark to warn sinful man of the impending FLOOD. NOBODY listened and in fact I'm sure they joked and laughed. Man is NO DIFFERENT today than they were 4000 years ago. God can easily repopulate the earths animals as He sees fit.

So why didn't God just start over then? He could've even just snapped his fingers once to send the righteous to Heaven, snapped twice to send the wicked to Hell, and snapped trice to repopulate the Earth. Surely that would've been faster and given better results?
Is God not perfect, then, for not accomplishing the goal of the flood? Or is he not omnipotent? What's the reasoning here?
Oh right. You're just a (large) bunch of idiots making shit up.
EDIT: Followed the link and the video has 666 comments. Too bad I don't believe in numerology; then I could've flipped out. :p
EDIT 2: Hey, that was actually a really interesting video.
At first I was thinking that something was wrong here because it was discovered that 95% of modern dogs (Canis lupis familiaris ) descended from the same three mitochondrial ancestors from China about 15,000 and that nearly all of the diversification into different breeds happened in the last 500 years or so (similar to human races, except on a shorter time scale and it was artificially induced by another species (humans)). I was thinking that dogs should be displaying similar problems, but I forgot the obvious fact that while most modern dogs can trace their lineage to one of those three females, there was a large population of grey wolves (Canis lupis ) the entire time that the offspring could interact with, removing the need for massive inbreeding. Duh. So there's no problem.
Just sort of thinking out loud to myself.
Yes. Atheists will generally not understand why an all-powerful, all-knowing, omnipresent entity will send his messages via seemingly paranoid nutjobs ranting about forecoming events. I hope you take hobos diving into religious rants seriously, or you kind of prove our point.
God can easily repopulate the earths animals as He sees fit.
Then why did He bother to gather them from all over the earth, keep two of each (seven of the more edible ones ...) and then send them all back? Why not kill 'em off and make a new batch?

God supposedly created the Flood to kill everything. Why would He want to warn people about it? It would defeat the whole purpose. Plus it's not in the Bible.
Actually, you're wrong. The sphenoid bone in the skull has changed, toes have changed shape and size, and humans are taller than they used to be. There is other stuff, but you will just stick your fingers in your ears and go LA LA LA LA and hear, or cover your eyes and not see.
Wow! I'm impressed with your research. How did you determine that?
"Yeah, I could just instantly hit the reset button, since I'm omnipotent, but I think it would be more fun to see this old fart break his back building a big-ass boat, and then have to spend a month and a half stuck on it with his family and a few hundred smelly animals. HAHAHAHAHA!!! Praise be to me!"
So the world got all fucked up, and the all-knowing, all-powerful god didn't foresee that coming? So he destroyed everything except for an old drunk and his family and a few animals to restart the whole thing? But then it got all fucked up again, so a few centuries later he came to earth as his own son and committed suicide to free the world of sin? And, yet, according to the fundies, there's more sin than ever.
MOST INCOMPETENT GOD EVER!
That god. He's a dick. He did something to the Permian ocean that killed almost everything, and evolution had to begin again, for all practical purposes. That was 250MYa.
After a few other exercises, @65MYa he managed to wipe out the dominant Cretaceous lifeforms, triggering another phase of evolution.
This flood of Moses' story didn't hit Egypt or China or India. They all had their own rivers and their own flood folklore.
...makes me want to research the Aboriginal Dream-time mythology... do they have a flood story as well?
"Even the most brilliant atheist minds can not understand the simple concept God used in Noah and his family."
1. You mean the simple concept god used in *saving* Noah and his family.
But neither He nor you can provide evidence for the existence of any gods, let alone for your God in particular.
Why use a drunk an his family. Why not some decent unrelated people who could start repopulate the Earth with a bit more gene diversity?
There is no evidence anywhere of a worldwide flood. There are written history records going much further than a mere 4000 years, but they don't mention any global flooding at that time, nor at any other time.
Oh goody. Lions are boring when you've lived in Africa for almost 50 years. He can replace a few of them with, say, sabre-toothed cats any time he likes.
Uh-huh, right. I won't hold my breath. Meantime, it's clowns like this poster that sane people joke and laugh about.
"...and my christobot mind is way smarterer than the atheists!"
Go back and get born again one more time, and we will cross our fingers and hope for a better result this time.

"but God used Noah for many years as he was building the ark to warn sinful man of the impending FLOOD.”
"NOBODY listened and in fact I'm sure they joked and laughed.”
“Man is NO DIFFERENT today than they were 4000 years ago. God can easily repopulate the earths animals as He sees fit.”
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
