Biological Diversity issues on Noah's Ark

2. When my son was FIVE years old

this is story that put him over the edge of being a non-believer (if he ever really believed). He was brought up going to Church - heck he went to the Church preschool his whole life. His Sunday School teacher had already complained about how "all his questions" were confusing the other children. When he went on a rant about Noah's Ark and how it was IMPOSSIBLE, she had a complete melt-down and said maybe he shouldn't come anymore!

His logic helped me to finally let go of my life-long indoctrination (my own questioning my entire life I had managed to suppress because I thought I HAD to believe since everyone around me did! - I will add that it was the final straw for me - I had already started really thinking - as an adult - that I wanted no part of ANYthing that the hate-filled fundamentalists believed. )

At any rate, if a 5 yr old can figure this out, what does that say about those who still believe this is a "true story"? (I had at least made the leap to Biblical stories being metaphors. . . but he rejected that premise, too. "Mom, NONE of what they're telling me makes any sense! Some old guy living up in heaven? Where is heaven anyway? None of it's true. It can't be - it's just NOT LOGICAL!"

Well, who can argue with that?
