One issue that is often raised against Christianity is Noah's Ark and the Flood. Did it really happen? Did the flood really cover the whole world? Is there enough water on earth to cover all the land? Could the ark really hold two of every kind of animal in the world? Though these might be intimidating questions, the answer to each is a resounding, "Yes." \n      God said to Noah in Genesis 6:14-16, "So make yourself an ark of cypress wood; make rooms in it and coat it with pitch inside and out. This is how you are to build it: The ark is to be 450 feet long, 75 feet wide and 45 feet high. Make a roof for it and finish the ark to within 18 inches of the top. Put a door in the side of the ark and make lower, middle and upper decks" (NIV). According to God's Word, Noah built the ark. Eight people entered it and all humanity died in the ensuing flood. \n      Did the flood really happen? Yes. Jesus said in Matt. 24:37-39 that the flood happened. If you can't trust Jesus, you can't trust anyone. As far as physical evidence goes there are numerous sedimentary deposits world wide which suggest a universal flood. There are countless fossil deposits world wide (For fossilization to occur organisms must be buried rapidly with sediment.). Every major culture has a flood legend. Of over 200 flood legends, 95% say the flood was universal; 70% say survival depended upon a boat; 66% say the wickedness of man was the cause; 88% say there was a favored family; 66% say the remnant was warned; 67% say animals were also saved; 57% say the survivors ended up on a mountain; 35% say birds were sent out; 9% say eight people were saved; and 7% mention a rainbow. \n      Is there enough water to flood the entire earth? Absolutely! If the earth were perfectly spherical the oceans would cover all the land by more than a mile in depth. The biblical account is that it rained for 40 days and nights in which the floodgates of the heavens were opened up as well as the fountains from the earth (Gen. 7:11;8:2). There is a theory known as the canopy theory that states it had never rained on the earth up to the time of Noah and that a mist watered the plants (Gen. 2:6-6). The theory goes on to state that there may have been a heavy cloud or water vapor layer over the entire earth and that it was this canopy of water that became torrential rains during the flood period. \n     Did the flood cover all the earth? Yes it did. The depth of the flood waters is described in Gen. 7:19 as covering "all the high mountains under the entire heavens." Also, there are many references in the Bible to it being global: Gen. 6:1,4-5,12,13,17,19;7:4,6,10,19;8:3;9:15. There were 40 days of rain (Gen. 7:12), 110 days of flooding (Gen. 7:24) and 221 more days of draining (Gen. 8:1-5,13-14). That is a total of 371 days of flooding that covered the mountains. That could not be a local flood. \n      Could the ark really contain all the animals of the world? Again the answer is "Yes." But let's look at the last question in more detail. The ark took about 120 years to build. Noah was 480 years old when he began the work and he had the help of his wife, three sons, and his son's wives. He probably hired local people to help in the construction. \n      The dimensions of the ark have a ratio of six to one. The Ark was six times longer than it was wide. This is the best ratio for modern ship building. Model stability tests have shown that the design is stable for waves up to 200 feet high and that the ark could have rotated 90 degrees and still righted itself. \n      The volume of the ark would be 450 feet long by 75 feet wide by 45 feet high. This equals 1,518,750 cubic feet and is comparable to 569 modern railroad boxcars. Therefore each boxcar, by comparison, would be 1,518,750 ÷ 569, or 2,669 cubic feet of space. The average size of an animal on the earth is smaller than a cat. But, just to keep it safe let's consider

Can't make up any more lies than there is in the Bible.

He fed them the pages from the story book where 'Noah's Arc' came from!! And you actually believe it was true??

Dinosaurs actually lived preceding bible time and their remains are a decently sized loophole of the book. Comedien Bill Hicks once referenced the topic when he offered a fictional conversation between himself and a believer in bible time. It was a one word question and read: "Dinosaurs?"\n\nBy the way, there were no Dinosaurs at the time of Noah's arc.

I agree, but apparently most people have never read any of these texts that your talking about.  When you bring it up they will answer with "all cultures had similar stories".  I don't understand if they ever read the stories and saw that they are from what they call Pagan religions with multiply gods and how the same story is written in Genesis and is uncannily similar from the story plot, the sequence of events and even the language how they could deny that the bible was taken from them and changed to one god.\n\nScience has clearly dated these documents and the bible and the other texts are clearly more ancient by many centuries.  But apparently they are afraid that if they read them their belief system will be shattered and that thought may be unbearable to most people.

No, that's not what all the fuss is about however even among secular scientists many believe that a ark found on the mountain is old enough for Noah's Ark.  I can not tell you whether or not that is the same object or not.  And lastly, with modern technology there is no such thing as a "grainy sattelite image".

Yes, hard to believe that some would try to cover it up like it never happened.  \n\nI visited the Halocaust memorial in Israel.  Very moving.\n\nhttp://www.yadvashem.org/\n\nMy question to you is, why did you place this question in the Mythology and Folklore section?

Because they want to run the show....very much against the Bible!

They came down with the polar bears, via FedEx.  God destroyed the first incarnation of FedEx, as well.\n\nEdit - reading a couple responses here, I see that we have a couple folks that actually DO believe this ridiculous fairy tale.  Let me explain... first of all, the story of Noah and the ark is quite impossible.  (But through God, anything is possible, right? Mmkay)  If the fact that it's impossible isn't good enough for you...\n\nHow about the fact that it's a pagan myth dealing with worship of the sun god?  This is not conjecture, folks.  This is fact.  See my source...

The tv show "Book of Daniel" had nothing to do with the Biblical character. It was based on fictional characters which are immoral and gross. Totally against the values the Bible advocates.

It is just a storyline. They would not allow that on television if that happened for real.

If it could be scientifically proven that no such Great Flood as mentioned in the Bible ever occurred it does NOT prove there is no God. It would prove that the Bible is not to be taken literally and that the fundamentalist Christian approach is less valid than viewing the colorful stories in the Bible as having a moral lesson to teach, but that is all. The nonexistence of God cannot be proven.

I agree.  quoting the bible or something is not valid as evidence for people who dont believe.  I only quote it when asked about it.\n\nAgree with you.\n\nHow about the question about noah's ark?  That was answered with all science, perfectly by a Christian. This is how we should answer non believers, like "ILoveJesus" lady did.\n\nhttp://ca.answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=AhDhtQPisFZHWxrMoTU6HW7AFQx.?qid=20061123154534AAR0ZO2\n\nthat was well done!  check it out!\n\ndavid

I've often entertained two variations on this theme.\n\n1. Aliens land on the Washington Mall and reveal that "Earth" is simply a channel on what passes for their television. They have irrefutable evidence that the course of the planet's history has all happened according to the whims of some "producers." Their highest rated episode was "The Extinction of the Dinosaurs," but recently "Faith" has been very popular. They expose that religion as we know it is simply a plot device that they came up with. Would people still hold onto their faith? I bet they would.\n\n2. Aliens arrive to spread their own religion. Strangely enough, they are as amazed as we are that we both have versions of the same scripture. Their Emperor Jamestak Bibliotome is very similar to our own KJV of the Bible. Facing this evidence would I remain an atheist? Probably not.
