law, nor a reward given without a cause. As no law is mentioned as given, we must infer that the punishment is unexplainable. In the present case the pennity is the extermination of the whole species, with the exception of one family,
not only of the human species, but of the
animal creations, which could neither have pantaken in nor heen responsible for the sins of men:"And the Lord said. I will destroy man whom I have created from the face of the earth both man, and beast, and the creeping thing, and the fowls of the air. "(v. 7). This swering extermination becomes all the more unintelligible when Noah and his family Are excepted from the general decision in

Passing now from the circumstantial causes which brought on the deluge to the facts directly connected with it, it may be as well to premise that nothing miraculous is recorder by the Bible to have occurred either in the building of the Noachian Ask, or in the living freight which it is asserted to have carried. On the contrary, known measurements were given according to which the Ark was to be constructed, a full description was made of the animals which were to be collected together, and everything clie was mentioned with the detail and minuteness attending the construction, of an ordinary bout and the getting together of her freight. Now, if science shows that nothing but a stupendous miracle could have brought the immense freight together in the Ark constructed according to the Bible dimensions, we must conclude that the Genesic narrative is baseless and untenable. Science, says W. Denton, is a fery furnace that has consumed a thousand delusions, and must consume all that remain." 1. The Ark and its tenants.-The Ark was 300 cubits long. 50 broad, and 30 high. Taking the cubit at zz inches, the largest estimate given, the ark must have bad the following dimensions: 55oft.in length, gt ft. 8in. in breadth, and 55 feet in height. The cubical contents of the Ark must have been, according to. Denton, 102,000 cubic yards. Each of the three floors measured 5,600 square yards, and the three floors together 16,8035quare yards. The animals that were taken into the Ark are stated to have been: fourteen of each kind of bird (Gen. VII. 3), seven malt, and seven female; two of every smt of unclean beast-animals that do not divide the hoof, or chew the cud~; and fourteen of every sort of clean beast. Commencing with the birds, Lessos.. quoted by Hugh Miller, enumerates 6.165 species Gray estimates them at 8,000. It is needless to suppose that all these species did not exist before the Deluge, for the Bible clearly says that they were all made on the fifth day and on no other ground can we explain | 4th the existence of all the distinct species of 6: animais at the present time, but by supposing 7th each species to have been created at the com- mencent, and reproduced from the stock saved in the Ark. If we assume the Darwinian theory of the gradual transmutation of species, we may be led to suppose that in, ante diluvian times there were only a few species of animals, which gradually formed the numerous post-diluvian kinds. But, in the first place, the Darwinian theory is contrary to the Bible record of special creation; in the second place, the fossil remains of animals supposed to have been ante-diluvian show them to have been just as numerous then as they are now, in some instances, more municious than their present representatives; and, in the third place, the transmutation theory is based on the assumption of enormous periods of time. Taking therefore the species of birds at the minor computation---6,366—this number multiplied by 14, gives Noah 87,724 birds, say, 3 for every square yard of the Ark Allowing the space for the attendants to look after thi winged multitude, we shall easily come to the conclusion that the birds alone would have taken the whole standing room of the Ark.
Of the unclean beasts,. of every sort were to be taken. The species of mammals are estimated by Zoologists at 2,067. Leav ing out the ruminatia, or cud-chewers, which are clean beasts, estimated. at 177 species, we bave 1,825 species, and according to Gen. vil. 3, 3.640 animals, being two of each species. Of the clean beasis, 177 species are known, which multiplied by 14. give a total of 6,128 mammals, from the mouse to the elephant, These animpis, says Denton, could not be piled ane upon another like cord-wood; they could not be promiscuously crowded together. The sheep would need careful protection from the lions, tigers, and wolves; the elephant and other ponderous beasts would require stalls of great thickness; much room would be required to enable them to obtain needful exercise, and for the attendants to supply them with food and water; and a vessel of the size of the ark would be taxed to provide for these beasts alone; and to crowd in, and preserve alive beasts and birds, was an absolute impossibility."
|
Noah was also to take two of every sort of creeping thing.. "Two hundred of these reptiles, saye Denton, are aquatic: hence water would not seriously affect them; but crocodiles, lizards, Iguanas, free-frous, borned frogs, thunder-snakes, chicken-snakes, brittlesnakes, rattlesnakes, copperheads, asps, cobra de capellos, whose bite is certain death, and a host of others, must be provided for. It would not do to allow these disagreeable individuals to craw! about the ark, and 914 of them would require considerable space, whether they could obalu it or not. By this time, the ark is doubly crowded; but its living cargo is not yet completed. A dense cloud of insects, and a vast army destitute of wings, make their appearance, and | clamour for admission. The number of articulates that must have been provided for is extimaled at 750,000 species-from the butterflies of Brazil, 14 inches from the tip of one wing to the tip of the other, to the almost fovisible gnat ihat dances in the summer's beam, Ants, beetles, ffies, bags, fleas, mosquitoes, wasps, bres, moths, butterflies, spiders, scorpions, grasshoppers, locusts, myriapods, canker-worms, wriggling, Crawling, creeping, flying, male and female, here they come, and all must be provided for Nor are these the last. The air-breathing land- snails, of which we know 4,600 species, could never have survived a twelve months' soaking and they must therefore be cared for. The 9.100 of these add no little to the discomfort of the trebly-crowded ark."
