Why is that strange? They don't believe Jesus is the Messiah either.
They made up the story, Steve.

Glenn Beck said something to the effect that if you want to see a biblical movie 'Noah' ain't it.
Don't think of it as a Russel Crowe movie. It's a Jennifer Connelly movie.
Peter seemed to have believed it.
Isn't He the gatekeeper?

I'm typing keeping close my "pasta hole"!
Political correctness is a mental disease that can put you in slavery. The only cure is to turn on the brain.
Not my blame if you do something that matches what I don't like.
Vulgus vult decipi, ergo decipiatur
That and many other implausible explanations for things we now know the mechanics of were satisfactory in the construction of ancient theology.
I don't think Peter is deserving of a capitalization as a personal pronoun.

Don't you know that there are two different versions of that in the Bible? In Genesis 6 it says 2 of every animal, in Genesis 7 it says 7 of every clean animal. Make up its mind, Bible-writers-who-died-a-long-time-before-we-even-knew-that-germs-make-us-sick-and-not-spirits.
Also, you should read it again, since you seem to be confused on this point.

No confusion on my part you seem confused, it says it plainly.
Indeed, it does:
Genesis 6
New International Version (NIV)
11 Now the earth was corrupt in God’s sight and was full of violence. 12 God saw how corrupt the earth had become, for all the people on earth had corrupted their ways. 13 So God said to Noah, “I am going to put an end to all people, for the earth is filled with violence because of them. I am surely going to destroy both them and the earth. 14 So make yourself an ark of cypress[c] wood; make rooms in it and coat it with pitch inside and out. 15 This is how you are to build it: The ark is to be three hundred cubits long, fifty cubits wide and thirty cubits high.[d] 16 Make a roof for it, leaving below the roof an opening one cubit[e] high all around.[f] Put a door in the side of the ark and make lower, middle and upper decks. 17 I am going to bring floodwaters on the earth to destroy all life under the heavens, every creature that has the breath of life in it. Everything on earth will perish. 18 But I will establish my covenant with you, and you will enter the ark—you and your sons and your wife and your sons’ wives with you. 19 You are to bring into the ark two of all living creatures, male and female, to keep them alive with you. 20 Two of every kind of bird, of every kind of animal and of every kind of creature that moves along the ground will come to you to be kept alive. 21 You are to take every kind of food that is to be eaten and store it away as food for you and for them.”
22 Noah did everything just as God commanded him.
Genesis 7
New International Version (NIV)
7 The Lord then said to Noah, “Go into the ark, you and your whole family, because I have found you righteous in this generation. 2 Take with you seven pairs of every kind of clean animal, a male and its mate, and one pair of every kind of unclean animal, a male and its mate, 3 and also seven pairs of every kind of bird, male and female, to keep their various kinds alive throughout the earth. 4 Seven days from now I will send rain on the earth for forty days and forty nights, and I will wipe from the face of the earth every living creature I have made.”
Yes, it does plainly say it two different ways.
This isn't the first time I've had to point this out to you, either.
Genesis 6:19
"And of every living thing of all flesh, two of every sort shalt thou bring into the ark, to keep them alive with thee; they shall be male and female."
Genesis 7:2
"Of every clean beast thou shalt take to thee by sevens, the male and his female: and of beasts that are not clean by two, the male and his female."
Please stop lecturing others about it when you are yourself uninformed on the subject.
edit: Looks like Jad beat me to it.

What are you talking about?
Are you really unable to allow for further clarification of instructions?
Yes, it says two of every kind, then for FURTHER clarification Noah is told to bring seven of clean animals.
What's the big deal here?
I suppose you guys think you caught God making a goof.
Do you understand there is a period of approximately 70 years between chapter 6 and chapter 7.

God didn't do anything. The many translators , editors and publishers, over the centuries were keen to add and delete things that made sense to them without checking for conflicts and correcting for errors.

I think the goof would be on the hands of the ancient tribal people who passed down these old wives tales as something more than what they were, those who have employed them for their own benefit and power forever thereafter, and last but certainly not least, those who are willfully ignorant of the first two.

not even, they did a rewrite of the old sumerian tale:

How do you claim to know the entire contents of a giant boat in an ancient story which could supposedly hold multiples of every animal on Earth? Can you at least admit that there is absolutely no way to verify this claim?

Nevermind, I just looked it up..... http://www.ucg.org/booklet/what-does-bible-teach-about-clean-and-unclean-meats/which-animals-clean-or-unclean/
All I can say is. Thank God pigs made it on their own, without the help of Noah.....I'm not sure I would want to live in a world without the culinary delights of bacon, prosciutto, capicollo, BBQ'd baby back ribs etc...:wink
