by conservative estimate, they would require an ark at least the size of the island
of Madagascar.
There is an interesting thing. In order to gather rare God’s creatures, such as kangaroos from Australia, polar bears from the North Pole, penguins from the South Pole and
other similar creatures,
Noah and his sons would require an ark with atomic ice-breaker and several
decades to search and gather them.
So there is a quite reasonable question. Why didn’t the Creator tell in the Bible
about the existence of the above-mentioned rare creatures?
Because Moses wrote in his book about those animals which lived in the territories extending from Egypt to Mesopotamia.
In the days of Moses, his people and he were sure that Egypt and Mesopotamia
were the ends of the earth.
What we read in the Pentateuch about the flood (Torah - Bereshit, and Genesis according to the Bible 7: 12-17):
And the rain was upon the earth forty days and forty nights.
In the selfsame day entered Noah, and Shem, and Ham, and Japheth, the sons of
Noah, and Noah’s wife, and the three wives of his sons with them, into the ark;
They, and every beast after his kind, and all the cattle after their kind, and every
creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth after his kind, and every fowl after his kind,
every bird of every sort.
And they went in unto Noah into the ark, two and two of all flesh, wherein is the
breath of life.
And they that went in, went in male and female of all flesh, as God had commanded him:
And the Lord shut him in.
The flood was forty days upon the earth.
Dear reader, by order of God only eight people entered Noah’s ark,
and they had to feed and water a large number of God’s creatures three times a
day, every day for one year and ten days,
and moreover, they had to clean their feces in order, heaven forbid, not to drown
in them.
The above-mentioned raises a reasonable question: why the Almighty Creator
needed the ideas, such as the flood and Noah’s ark,
when God could destroy everything He created on earth in a blink of an eye and
create a sinless man and all living creatures again?
Or maybe after six days of hard work, the Creator exhausted His power?
And if something was left, that power was only enough to count sins committed
by each person from the moment of his birth to the moment of his death and to define
who must go to Paradise and who must go to Hell.
Now, dear reader, I will tell you a little secret: if Moses wrote the Bible according
the word of God,
the Bible would describe the animals which lived not only in the territories extending from Egypt to Mesopotamia but throughout the earth,
as well as living creatures found on other planets, because according to the Bible,
the Creator made not only the earth but the whole Universe.
There is another thing: in our days many people believing in the truth of the Bible
look for traces of Noah’s ark somewhere in the mountains of Ararat, imagining it looks
like a ship.
And if such ship actually existed, it would be nothing like a ship,
it would be a rectangular box similar to the Ark of the Covenant but of ship’s size.
Why box? Because the word “ark” originates from the Ancient Hebrew word
“tevah” meaning “box”,
in fact, Noah and his sons, had no need to sail somewhere during the great flood
and there was no point, they had to wait until the waters of the great flood were gone and
run down to earth.
There is another interesting thing. What we read in the Bible:
So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him.
And He had adulterous relationship with His creation named Mary, and this Immaculate Conception gave birth to one more God named Jesus.
Then it’s just doesn’t make sense how God created the Universe, if the modern
science of astronomy estimates the length of the Universe to be 93 billion light years and
one light year equals to 9.5 trillion kilometers.
Dear reader, in order to understand the distances being described, it is necessary to
thinks of the following situation:
Microscopic creature smaller than an atom created super-giant matter out of nothing,
the matter which by its mass exceeds the day light – the Sun by billions of times.

In his book, Moses wrote two completely different stories about the creation of
the world by the Creator.
Story one – six days from the creation of the world and sanctification of the seventh (Genesis 1: 2-31) and (Genesis 2: 1-3), I wrote about it in the beginning of the book.
Story two – (Genesis 1: 1)
In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.
Here is the continuation of the second story – (Genesis 2: 4-7)
These are the generations of the heavens and of the earth when they were created, in the day that the Lord God made the earth and the heavens,
And every plant of the field before it was in the earth, and every herb of the field
before it grew:
For the Lord God had not caused it to rain upon the earth, and there was not a
man to till the ground. But there went up a mist from the earth, and watered the whole
face of the ground.
And the Lord God formed a man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his
nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul, and so on.
The first mythology was borrowed by Moses from the ancient Egyptians, where
God-Elohim dwells in heaven and talks to the sons of Israel only through his angels and
prophets.
And the second mythology was borrowed by him from the ancient Sumerians
where God-Jehovah dwells in earth and talks face to face to Adam, Eve, Cain, Noah,
Abraham, Jacob and Moses.
There was a special case in the days of Noah when God-Jehovah accused people
saying that the sons of God-Elohim began to come in unto the daughters of men and they
bore children for them.
What we read in the Bible about it (Genesis 6: 1-4):
And it came to pass, when men began to multiply on the face of the earth, and
daughters were born unto them, that the sons of God (Elohim) saw the daughters of men
that they were fair; and they took them wives of all which they chose.
And the Lord (Jehovah) said, My Spirit shall not always strive with man, for that
he also if flesh: yet his days shall be a hundred and twenty years.
There were giants in the earth in those days; and also after that, when the sons of
God (Elohim) came in unto the daughters of men, and they bare children to them.
