Of Carnivores and Noah’s Ark

According to Jewish Rabbinical tradition, the reason that Noah didn’t have to have more than two carnivorous animals of each kind on the ark is because they were not carnivores yet but only became so after the flood. Of course, that does not account for all of the grain, etc., that would have had to have been put on the ark for them to eat, but I digress. Anyway, if that were in any way true, then why does the Bible show humans as carnivorous animals already (1) because Noah was actually told to have 7 of each “clean” (edible) animal placed on the ark for food and (apparently the writer of this part never thought about the fact that he made the Mosaic Law predate Moses by so writing) and (2) by the fact that the children of Adam and Eve were already making animal sacrifices way before the flood. They were already killing and consuming animals because almost everyone knows that most sacrifices were not entirely burned but were partially eaten by the participants.

The fact of the matter, as scientists have come to understand, is that very ancient humans could not have survived on a diet only of things grown from the ground but had to also have meat as a mainstay simply because only meat would provide enough calories and nourishment to allow them to survive, especially during winters.

Thus, the Bible itself proves that the story of Noah’s Ark is a made-up fantasy.
