They'll repopulate. Either get two alicorns, or get a unicorn and earth pony. The pegasus can sit in the clouds and wait. Or we can get real technical, and get two of each kind of pony, making six (eight of you still count alicorns). |

Err, the Ark was more of a big sealed rectangle -- after all, the thing was designed to float and carry stuff, that's it -- so no-one should be able to see RD's rainbow. |

Yeah, but it's really hard to find pictures of it like that because 90% of artists don't bother to research it. |

Wait, wasn't there suppose to be 2 unicorns on the ark. Heard that they were both pink, popular and powerful. Feeling threatened that something that popular, powerful and pink may interfere with his future plans, God deemed those unicorns as demons and of sin and made them invisible.
Only true believers could see through God's veil and feel the grace and power that are The Invisible Pink Unicorns. |

If you want to win a few bets, ask how many sheep were on the ark. Most people will say "two" because that's all they've ever known. Genesis, chapter 7, verses 2 and 3 says the birds and the "clean animals" were by sevens, while the "unclean animals" were by twos.
So, for instance: Two swine, and seven sheep. If this wins you a free drink, raise a toast to Ol' Lancer. |

It was probably not a real boat at all, only a recorded effort of racial purification by isolation for the sake of religion. This old guy penned himself and some animals away from the world, in some floating raft.
In order for that ethnic-cleansing flood to have happened, all the ice caps would have to have melted, escaping out of rock and the weather cold enough the world over to prevent all that moisture going to form clouds. Not possible. Sure he may have made the floating zoo, the rainstorms washing it out to sea and back, but the other parts sound too preachy and unbelievable. |

^ A great flood is a common thing in the Middle-Eastern history.
But I've heard it posited that there was some sort of layer of water in the atmosphere that effectively caused the flood. Though that's an argument I heard a long time ago and remember too little about to elaborate on accurately. |

Assuming that it happened, and according to the scriptural record, "The fountains of the great deep burst open, and the floodgates of the sky were opened."
There doesn't seem to be any detail available describing this, and of course, nobody knows what conditions would have existed prior to such an event, save that according to that same scripture there was little or no rain. The earth was watered by a heavy dew of some sort (Genesis 2:6). For all we know, the planet's surface could have changed completely in a catastrophe like that, with mountains rising where there were none and continents changing shape and location... and so the entire question seems beyond knowing. |

Can't we have arguments over Equestria's history instead? It's better-written and more realistic than that vile little book people have been quoting for the last couple of thousand years. It's like all the Cupcakes references, only nastier.
A whole lot of religions (including the Greek myths) have flood stories, which probably means that there was some extreme flooding for a while. Maybe the Mediterranean rose or something. |

Yup, I remember this story.
The first day Noah lets out Derpy Hooves to see if there is dry land, but she does not return (she got lost). The next day she lets out Rainbow Dash and she cleared off the clouds in ten seconds flat. Then she put a sonic rainboom in the sky to signal that the great storm is over. |

^Ezekiel 4:12 says to eat bread made with human shit, it specifies this quite unambigiously: shit from a human.
"A great flood is a common thing in the Middle-Eastern history." Key word being "a" flood. Name places on earth that never flood? Trick question, because especially in deserts there are flash floods. And there are plenty of other civilizations, such as the mezoAmerican tribes up and down ALL of the Western world, so SOMEbody else would have noticed a 'global' flood, but there is no such thing. Just as no non-christian source has any census, reports, or any sort of actual proof of 'a' Jesus at the time, or of the Slaughter of the Innocents that was supposed to happen after jesus was supposed to be born, just to name a few examples of unsubstantiated events that should have been noticed by anybody else, like FUCKING ZOMBIES COMING OUT when Jesus was ressurected; that's the kind of shit people would fucking notice, ya think?! Two, the ark itself; it gives exact measures, and no, you can only fit so many animals-- not to mention food, and sanitation, nevermind that they're all supposedly--- including bears, bison, elephants, penguns-- within walking distance of Noah's house. The elevation of water for a 'global' flood is fucking Everest. Think about how fucking cold and how much ice is there. Everest wasn't (recorded to be) attempted to be climbed untill the late 1800's, and not sucessfuly untill 1950's. So, no, your desert animals, which would be all the animals 'Noah' WOULD know about- along with all the other animals, including humans, would either asphixiate from lack of oxygen, or freeze to death. And if even if there was enough water before to make the flood: where did it go after? "But I've heard it posited that there was some sort of layer of water in the atmosphere that effectively caused the flood." This is a position often raised by one well-known fundie named 'Nephilimfree'. Here's all you need to know; http://encyclopediadramatica.ch/NephilimFree or tl;dr - creepy retard who's SPESHUL because he belives he's descended from half-angels, because he has five fingers instead of six. I'll let that sink in. Finally, all the anthropology shows that the Abrahmic flodo story was justa re-write from the same in the Epic of Gilgamesh. |

Everypony could just wait it out on the clouds. Walk-on-clouds spells and such. Problem solved. |

Xuncu said: It specifies to cook said bread with fire made from that. Not that the bread itself was made with that. Xuncu said: An association fallacy? Really, Xuncu? |
