Zany Take on Noah's Ark: Carnivores Waiting for Prey to Reproduce After the Flood

The story of Noah's Ark has been a subject of fascination and debate for centuries, but a recent image making rounds on social media adds a humorous twist to this biblical tale. The image depicts a large wooden ark, much like the one described in the Bible, stationed on a serene body of water. The ark, with its sloped golden-brown roof and multiple small rectangular windows, features a giraffe adorably peeking out over the edge.

The text in the image provides a witty commentary on the logistics of life after the flood. It reads, "My favourite part of the bible is when, after the flood, the ark landed, and all the carnivores waited until their prey reproduced before eating them." This clever observation highlights the impracticality of a literal interpretation of the story, sparking discussions and laughs alike.

Commenters on the post have shared their thoughts, adding layers of humor and skepticism. One user remarked, "The story of Noah's Ark is one of the most flagrant disregards for everything even bronze age farmers would know about animal breeding and reproduction that I'm amazed it made the cut." Another chimed in with, "The way it was explained to me when any logical question was asked was 'through thy mysteries of god.' Or gods will or only god knows or something along those lines which makes more questions but the person you're talking to can answer none of them."

The comment section is filled with amusing takes and critiques, from questioning how fresh water fish survived the flood to pointing out the logistical challenges that Noah and his family would have faced. One user humorously noted, "They never address the food or manure logistics. Nor what the humans did for 40 days cooped up with nothing to do. Nor how the ark just happened to land somewhere flat. Nor how Noah and his family dealt with the mountains of decomposing bodies after the floods. It's all just *waves hands* miracles."

Others took a more satirical approach, with one commenter sarcastically stating, "Come on guys, they already proved this is possible with the ark encounter in KY. You know by using power tools and stuff, it totally proves Noah could have done it. Heavy /s if you can't tell." Another added a modern twist by saying, "@op MY favorite part was after the flood when god invented the rainbow as a promise to never flood the earth again and then the LGBTQIA+ community stole that and said 'thank you sky daddy.'"

The image and its accompanying comments serve as a humorous critique of the story of Noah's Ark, blending historical skepticism with modern wit. Whether one views the story as a myth to teach morality or a literal account, this playful take invites everyone to ponder the practicalities—or lack thereof—of such an ancient tale.

The story of Noah's ark is one of the most flagrant disregards for everything even bronze age farmers would know about animal breeding and reproduction that I'm amazed it made the cut. Why bother with the whole boat story when it pretty much amounts to "God did it" anyway?

The way it was explained to me when any logical question was asked was "through thy mysteries of god". Or gods will or only god knows or something along those lines which makes more questions but the person you're talking to can answer an of them

You have to be stupid to be religious. Even if it's just a little. This however is next level stupidity.

Let's not forget, there is also a taking donkey in the Bible

Or how all the marsupials ended up back in Australia.

So many plot holes the book club ignores. Several civilizations have no record of such an event happening that were around at the same time.

You forgot all of the i*****.

hmm it's almost like its a myth to teach morality not a literal account. American Christian fundamentalism isn't even a century old.
