Noah & his Ark

Ok, I've not posted for a very long time but I have one major question to ask about an aethist's vid: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8RV46fsmx6E that challenges christians about the Bible's fact.

It'll be good if anyone have the liberty to answer any one of the questions/errors listed in that video. I'm going to bring out one question that even my dad have difficulty answering.

-> There are 2 explaination to the great flood; one is that the flood flooded the entire world literally (evidences have been found all over the world that there is indeed a flood), the other is that the flood flooded the known world at that time which is not the entire world.

The vid stats that it is impossible to the point of ridiculous that the ark itself can hold millions of species of animals in that one ark. And if the flood indeed floods the entire world, that means all animal species have to come to the ark. Imagine this, polar bear from north pole travelling to the middle east. Giraffe coming from africa..and how is it possible for land animals overseas to travel to the ark without touching sea? It is only logical to say that the flood only flood the known world at that time. But if it only flood the known world, how is it possible that major flood evidence is found all over the world? Isn't this contradictory?

That's my question, I'm still pretty confused and hope someone can explain to me.

Hmm I guess most of us roughly know what are the reasons behind the situation we are in now..some of us have different views on it but..the issue is not what are the reasons, it is what we can do at the present moment.. eg, you are running a race, say 1000m relay.. half-way thru, you pulled a muscle.. will you: 1) stopped and think why it happen, is it becos warm up not enough? or 2) carry on and finish the race the best you can.. Though sometimes it's gd to reflect and think abt the possiblity.. but now if I were to think abt it.. I think we really spent alot time on no.1.. the committee members tried and plan and sit ard to think of various possiblilties to try to attract more ppl to tuan qi and stuffs.. kept trying.. but =/ hmm

Now, they are heading towards the no.2 stage.. what we can do.. =/ I used the word "they" instead of "us", because they are doing it!! cool ya?hmm and I'm following them behind lol..Hmm now with the new preacher coming to guide us..that's what I found out recently =)hmm yup. He will be teaching us the basics and foundation of our faith which is very impt. Without the foundation within each christian, a church can be a nice place to socialise where you find all you ka-kees, hang-out buddies and stuffs, eventually it might look just like another community place where ppl with common interest hang ard with.. But with the foundations, and provided that one follow it, PERSEVERE -_-" and hopefully someone whom can support you to do that.. someone whom u can account to. So if he/she practice what is taught abt the foundation.. you might see the change.. it might be a small change.. might be over the next few yrs.. the thing is that his/her life will kinda influence you.. and if he/she really does.. he/she might be the type that will normally care and concern for ppl and their spiritual life in someway.. (=/ well at least that is what I think) yea

So well, let's jia you!! Let's try to interact more with one another :P
