What did the lions and other carnivorous beasts eat when they got off the ark?

[Joe Guy]

Same as when they were on the ark...

Fish.

Mostly lox on bagels.

Ah, but when the two worms were gone, what did they use as bait to catch the fish?

[MajGenl.Meade]

Doves and marmite.... or all the corpses

[MajGenl.Meade]

Doves and marmite.... or all the corpses left when the tide went out

[TPFKA@W]

I was actually asking for the actual religious explanation which I would hope
Didn't involve Marmite.

[Gob]

Marmite IS a religious sacrament...

Well they had about a million rabbits as starters.......mice, gerbils, each other....... fish, as someone pointed out.

.....not forgetting that it wasn't single pairs (except for the unclean ones). It was 7 x 2 for the edible animals and all the birds.

I think there are likely to be many religious explanations varying from those who insist that yes the entire world was flooded and every kind of animal had to be on board to those who would say that the flood was more localized and so were the animals needed to be taken on board. And of course those who says it's not true even in the slightest.

I fall into that middle camp.

Concerning one's self with whether the Bible provides an accurate description of historical facts rather misses the point, I think.

[Big RR]

Not to some of the biblical literalists, Sue. To them, that is the point.

I had the unfortunate experience of seeing Russell Crowe as Noah. Since it didn't actually resemble much anything I ever learned about the story... Well then I took up a discussion with a religious coworker who believes literal interpretation which tested my famous patience. Anyway Meade is my go to man for religious questions serious or absurd now, except Marmite and corpses might have shaken my faith in his responses just a tad.

Gob I believe you have confused sacrament with sacrilegious.

[Gob]

Nope, sacrament. Marmite is the transubstantiation of holy Yeast which died to give us beer....

[TPFKA@W]

You could create a new religion along the lines of Pasta worshipers.

[TPFKA@W]

I vote spawn.

[Big RR]

I vote devil's excrement.

[Lord Jim]

I vote with Big RR...

[MajGenl.Meade]

Marmite... nectar of the whatsits!

[Long Run]

Marmitism is the belief that your mom (or mother figure) can make anything taste good, even yeast extract.
