1.  When Noah's Ark landed how did the kangaroos make it back too Australia?"
land bridges and the days of peleg
   Following the flood we find the ice age. For a period of time the water levels were much lower and the kangaroos could travel on foot to Australia. When the ice melted the continents were divided.


2. If the ark was covered in pitch or tar to make it water tight, it also made it air tight.  How did the animals survive living one or 2 days living in comeplete darkness without any fresh air?  Remember the rain lasted 40 days and forty nights, Noah couldn't open the window in the top.
The pre-flood earth had 50%  higher oxygen levels  Helping the animals to breath on the Ark.
"Air From Dinosaurs' Age Suggests Dramatic Change

Single-PageTiny bubbles trapped in amber for 80 million years have given scientists their first direct look at the earth's atmosphere in the time of the dinosaurs, a mix of gases that appears dramatically different from the air we breathe today. A preliminary analysis suggests that the ancient atmosphere may have been 50 percent richer in the oxygen that sustains the animal life of the planet. That finding, to be presented here Thursday at the annual meeting of the Geological Society of America, is sure to astonish experts on global climate and the evolution of life. They had assumed that the air then differed little from today's.Until now, the oldest known samples of air were far younger, the product of a 160,000-year-old core of polar ice that was painstakingly drawn over the last five years from its resting place a mile below the Antarctic surface. But by crushing bits of amber and analyzing the faint breath of gas that escapes, researchers appear to have opened an unexpected new window onto the history of the atmosphere and the creatures it nourished. Seeking Detailed Picture".   Also the animals likely could have hibernated during this period.
It is also possible that they kept living plants in the ark for feeding the animals.

3.  Since Adam and Even didn't know right from wrong before eating of the tree of the knowledge of Good and evil.  Why did God then punish them for something they didn't understand they were doing?
Eve explained to the serpent that she understood that it was wrong to eat from the tree and that she would die. genesis 3: ² And the woman said unto the serpent, We may eat of the fruit of the trees of the garden: ³ but of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God hath said, Ye shall not eat of it, neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die."

4.  Why would God place a forbidden tree in the garden, so close to his innocent creation, and allow Satan to tempt them in eating from it all the while looking on without doing a thing to prevent it?"
 He wanted man to be personally responsible because responsibility is good. he of course warned Adam not to do it and gave him every tree as an alternative.
genesis 2: ¹⁷ but of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die.

5. When the women went to Jesus' empty tomb,was the stone already rolled away or did an angel roll it away after the women got there?

angel rolled it away before they got there.  Matthew's account is vague but reconciles with the other texts.
matthew 28:28 In the end of the sabbath, as it began to dawn toward the first day of the week, came Mary Magdalene and the other Mary to see the sepulchre. ² And, behold, there was a great earthquake: for the angel of the Lord descended from heaven, and came and rolled back the stone from the door, and sat upon it.

 6. On the first day of the week, when Jesus rose from the dead how many women
 went to the tomb and which ones?"
At least 4
matthew 28:1 In the end of the sabbath, as it began to dawn toward the first day of the week, came Mary Magdalene and the other Mary to see the sepulchre.
Luke 24: ¹⁰ It was Mary Magdalene, and Joanna, and Mary the mother of James, and other women that were with them, which told these things unto the apostles."
Mark 16:1 And when the sabbath was past, Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James, and Salome, had bought sweet spices, that they might come and anoint him.
John 20:1 The first day of the week cometh Mary Magdalene early, when it was yet dark, unto the sepulchre, and seeth the stone taken away from the sepulchre. 
   Mary is isolated in John to tell her account in the Garden.

7. If you believe the creation account in genesis as mere allegory then why don't you throw out Paul's epistles because he believed that the creation account was a historical fact?"
creation WAS a historical fact

8.   How many donkeys did Jesus ride in his triumphal entry into Jerusalem, was it one donkey like mark luke and John say or was it 2 donkeys like Matthew said?"

difference of a colt and an ass
Matthew 21: ² saying unto them, Go into the village over against you, and straightway ye shall find an ass tied, and a colt with her: loose them, and bring them unto me."
An ass is a donkey but a colt is a horse.  So it was one donkey.


9. Matthew and Luke both provide geneologies for Jesus going all the way back to adam. Using both of those lists who was Josephs Father?"
Matthew shows  Joseph's biological father.   Luke show's joseph's father in law in order to show Jesus legal status as christ.  Joseph couldn't have legal status through his father seeing that he is of the line of jeconiah who was cursed.  So it shows his father in law to show christ legal status.
luke 2:³⁹ And when they had performed all things according to the law of the Lord, they returned into Galilee, to their own city Nazareth."

10.  Was Jesus crucified on the 1st day of Passover like the gospel of John says or the next day like the other 3 gospels say."

HOW COULD WEDNESDAY BE THE DAY BEFORE THE SABBATH?  
        Â Â If Jesus was crucified the day before the Sabbath, (Nisan 14 or "Erev Pasach" how could He have been crucified on Wednesday?   The answer lies in the fact that the Jews celebrated more Sabbaths than just the weekly Sabbath. They had a number of feast days that were "High Sabbaths," or high days. Jesus arose on the first day of the week after the Sabbaths* (plural). Sometime after 6 p.m. Saturday, end of the Jewish day, in Matthew 28:1 we read;  "In the end of the Sabbath, as it began to dawn toward the first day of the week, came Mary Magdalene and the other Mary to see the sepulchre."      
         The Scofield Reference Bible  (1917 ed.)  has a center column note which reveals that "Sabbath" in this verse is plural; from the Greek word "sabbata." (Also in Young's Analytical Concordance) The day after the crucifixion was not the regular (Saturday) Sabbath but a Special ("High" - Greek, "megas", large)  Sabbath.    
        John 19:31 states,  "The Jews therefore, because it was the preparation, that the bodies should not remain upon the cross on the Sabbath day, (for that Sabbath day was an high day,) besought Pilate that their legs might be broken, and that they might be taken away."  
         Note the John states this was not the regular Sabbath, but it as a "high day." The Jews observed several "high" Sabbaths ("holy convocation" Exodus 12:15) in their seasons. These holy convocations did not always fall on Saturday.
         Concerning the feast days Leviticus 23:4-8 states. These are the feasts of the LORD, even holy convocations, which ye shall proclaim in their seasons. In the fourteenth day of the first month at even is the LORD'S passover. And on the fifteenth day of the same month is the feast of unleavened bread unto the LORD: seven days ye must eat unleavened bread. In the first day ye shall have an holy convocation: ye shall do no servile work therein. But ye shall offer an offering made by fire unto the LORD seven days: in the seventh day is an holy convocation: ye shall do no servile work therein."  
         The Feast of the Passover (a high Sabbath) and the  Feast of the Unleavened Bread (another high Sabbath) were celebrated on April 14th and 15th respectively. Sunset initiated the first day of the Feast of Unleavened Bread. Nisan 15 was a "high day", a non Saturday Sabbath.
         The first month of the Jewish year is the month of Nisan or "Aviv." The name "Aviv" comes from the Hebrew term "Chodesh Ha-Aviv" which means the "the month of Spring." Aviv was the name used for first month of the year before the Babylonian captivity.  After the Babylonian captivity it was called "Nisan" or "Nisan". 
         The day Jesus died was the preparation day (Wednesday) of the Passover celebration on Thursday (John 19:14, 31: "And it was the preparation of the Passover, and about the sixth hour: and he (meaning Pilate) saith unto the Jews, Behold your King!"   This was the morning of the crucifixion day.  Verse 31 states,  "The Jews therefore, because it was the preparation, that the bodies should not remain upon the cross on the Sabbath day, (for that Sabbath day was an high day,) besought Pilate that their legs might be broken, and that they might be taken away."  
         Therefore, Passover (Nisan "Aviv" 14 ) was on Thursday, that year, the Feast of Unleavened Bread began on Friday (seven day feast last to Nisan "Aviv" 21), and the regular weekday Sabbath was on Saturday.    Jesus was crucified in the morning on Wednesday and placed in the tomb before 6 P.M. He arose from the grave sometime after 6 P.M. on Saturday, which would be early Sunday morning, the first day of the week, according to Jewish time-keeping.  This explanation fits Jesus' prophecy in Matthew 12:40 that He would be "three days and three nights in the heart of the earth."

1.  The Bible tells us that God sacrificed His only Son so that we could go to heaven but the Bible also tells us that  he raised His son back from the dead again. If God didn't really lose His son, then how is that a sacrifice?"
he really did die,  he just could not be damned
The value of His death was being the sinless son of God.  If regular people can be resurrected, then there is nothing wrong with resurrecting the messiah.

2.  If God is all knowing and all powerful and has everything under control. Why does he keep asking for money every Sunday?"
offerings are free will in the NT.  they are taxes money in OT Israel.  Giving money is good for mankind and promotes good economics and charity.

3. The Bible says that God regretted making Saul King.  but if that's the case doesn't that mean that God didn't know the future? because if he knew that he was going to regret making Saul King he wouldn't have done it in the first place?"
He regretted Israel demanding a human king But he gave them what they wanted because God made man free, since God is free in his image.

4.  If every complex design requires a designer then who designed God?"
God is not a complex design, he was not created, He is not limited.

5.  If nothing can come from nothing, then how did God create the universe out of nothing?
  nothing is not a substance. Godhead was the original substance.

6. If something can come from nothing why do we need God to create the universe?"
It can't

7. If everyone who ever lived prior to Jesus could get into heaven by simply believing God like Abraham did. doesn't that make jesus a little superfluous?"
 difference between heaven and Abraham's Bosom.  Christ was first in the resurrection.
^{1 corinthians 15:20} But now is Christ risen from the dead, and become the firstfruits of them that slept.

8. The Bible tells that God isn't willing that anybody should perish but His Holy Word has been corrupted through the ages by mankind. So doesn't that mean that God either allowed it to be corrupted or he was unable to keep it from being corrupted?"
It has not been corrupted in the Textus receptus and the hebrew masoretic text,  it is comepletely available to all the world in the KJV

9. In the book of James, God instructs Christians on what they should do when they get sick.  They are supposed to pray and lay hands on the sick person and God promises to heal them. So do you ignore God's command and run to science everytime you get sick?"
physical healing is not a universal guarantee. medicine is in the bible, I don't run to science every time I get sick.

10.   ( this is a run on question, just watch the video for a long list of greivances)
a. Jesus was right to whip them. (hypocritical considering the money question earlier)
         b.   dogs are unclean as was her lifestyle. but what is wrong with calling someone an animal in the secular world?
c. insulting the pharisees was right.  they were mocking His religion.
d. jesus didn't lie in the real Bible.
e. slavery (servant is not forced slavery,)
F. he denounces pedaphilia by implication
G. he supports the bible which denounces rape
h.fool/raca in matthew 5:22 refers to calling a spiritual brother a fool meaning godless at heart cursing them to Hell. fool in matthew 23:17 is referring to blind or ignorrant people doing stupid things.
I. (bad logic he includes implications then excludes implications.)
