Noah's Dilemma

So, first urge is to tap out the mighty issues and dramas of the day to free my mind of the pressure. On SECOND thought...(second thought always works better) I would rather get as far away from the trials of everyday life as I possibly can. Not quite meditation, but helpful to take this opportunity to ramble on about thoughts more pleasant.

I believe in the Ancient Alien Theory. I've many times wondered HOW Noah got ALL those animals in that boat. Being the farmer's daughter, I've wondered even more how they would've lived with so many animals in an enclosed area such as a boat. The animals had to be fed, they would've had to have had abundant storage and just as much feed. The birds and animals reproduce at different rates and in different ways. They defecate. Being brought up in the presence of birds and animals, this perplexed me. Actually, I remember being afraid to "go there" in my mind because I could not fathom keeping so many living things on ANY size ship, other than the Earth, for almost ANY amount of time. 

I don't remember whether that was the deciding factor in my belief in the Ancient Alien Theory, but when I heard the explanation of this dilemma explained by the Trusty Leader of all things Ancient Alien, Giorgio Tsoukalous, it released my worried mind!! Finally, it made perfect sense!! Well, of course, each animal, eating, defecating and birthing, was not on the boat in so much physical form, but in TEST TUBES, well, sorta!! I can finally imagine Noah and his family, managing a type of biological laboratory onboard, keeping alive the DNA of so many different species of every one of God's creatures. 

I know it sounds elementary, and it probably is to some, to think of Noah's Ark the way I had in the beginning. Or even to ponder as I did the "hows" of keeping all those live creatures on a boat, much less a primitive boat, for 40 days and 40 nights. To me it was indeed frightening. It was frightening to believe I couldn't figure out what I was missing! There must be some thought I am missing that everyone else is not missing. I couldn't see my Precious, Loving, Compassionate Lord throwing all these creatures onto this ancient boat with the poor humans, who were already probably terrified with all the flooding going on. At last, it makes sense!!

And Alas, new ideas always have their doubters. But by golly, I got this!! As far as I'm concerned, freeing poor Noah and his family from chaos that my mind had built around them with the old idea of living in the situation I was sure they'd had, is enough to make me look twice, and deeper, into this "Ancient Alien" theory.

The imagined smell and noise has finally left my mind!! Noah, you ole bugger, you!!

Just to picture a very FEW!!!
