Searching for the Ark\n\nSince the 19th century, there have been numerous attempts to find the ark on the mountains of Ararat. These mountains have two prominent peaks, one 16,950 feet  high and the other 12,840 feet. The higher of the two is perpetually covered by snow. Because of the climatic changes that followed the Flood, the ark would soon have been buried by snow. Some investigators firmly believe that the ark is still there, buried deep in a glacier. They claim that there have been periods when the ice melted sufficiently to permit part of the ark to be exposed temporarily.\n\nThe book In Search of Noah’s Ark quotes George Hagopian, an Armenian, who claimed that he climbed Mount Ararat and saw the ark in 1902 and again in 1904. On the first visit, he said, he actually climbed on top of the ark. “I stood up straight and looked all over the ship. It was long. The height was about forty feet [12 m].” Regarding his observation on his subsequent visit, he said: “I didn’t see any real curves. It was unlike any other boat I have ever seen. It looked more like a flat-bottomed barge.”\n\nFrom 1952 to 1969, Fernand Navarra made four efforts to find evidence of the ark. On his third trip to Mount Ararat, he worked his way to the bottom of a crevasse in a glacier, where he found a piece of black wood embedded in the ice. “It must have been very long,” he said, “and perhaps still attached to other parts of the ship’s framework. I could only cut along the grain until I split off a piece about five feet [1.5 m] long.”\n\nProfessor Richard Bliss, one of several experts who examined the wood, said: “The Navarra wood sample is a structural beam and impregnated with bituminous pitch. It has mortise and tenon joints. And it’s definitely hand-hewn and squared.” The estimated age of the wood was set at about four or five thousand years.\n\nAlthough efforts have been made to find the ark on Mount Ararat, the definite proof that it was used to survive a cataclysmic deluge exists in the written record of that event in the Bible book of Genesis. \n\nThe ark had a carrying capacity equal to that of 10 freight trains of about 25 American boxcars each!

Here's something to think about.\n\n1) How could he have possibly fit 2 of every animal and insect on an ark that size?\n2) How did he control the situation of having animals that are natural enemies on a boat together?\n3) How did he feed all the different animals when some can only eat specific food from their region (other animals or region specific plants)?\n4) How did he fit a months worth of food on the ark with the animals?\n5) What about the specific climate needs of each animal?\n6) How did Noah and his family repopulate the globe with different races of people?\n7) Who the hell cleaned up all the shit?!?\n\nI could really go on and on - THINK!

Hebrews 11:7 By faith Noah, being warned of God of things not seen as yet, moved with fear, prepared an ark to the saving of his house; by the which he condemned the world, and became heir of the righteousness which is by faith.\n\nNoah listened to God, Noah did God's will, Noah's faithfulness saved him & his family from the Flood, and Noah was deemed Righteous by by Grace of God for being a faithful believer - so Noah's soul was saved for eternity. That's were it got him.\n\nTrue Faith + God's Grace = His Salvation.\n\nThis same formula which worked for Noah, worked for Abraham, Isaac & Jacob... as well as for the original disciples & apostles... and it still works the same way for you & me. God & His Salvation are perfect & unchanging.

The story does not stand up to scrutiny and Fundamentalist Christians are easily embarrassed by it.\n\n(a) Were all 8 species of tiger on there? (some have now become extinct but there were eight), If so, how come they didn't attack, kill, eat and thereby drive into extinction, their traditional prey?\n\n(b) Same question as regards lions. The presence of lions would terrify other occupants of the boat. Even lion faeces has this effect.\n\n(c) With the flood waters rising rapidly, how did Noah, lacking any engine room (not even an outboard motor), manage to nip over to Australia to save the koala and kangaroo, or Latin America to save the llama, or China to save the panda?\n\n(d) There must be hundreds of breeds of dogs recognised by the Kennel Club? Were they all aboard? And if it was just a pair of breeding golden labradors, how come we have Great Danes and chihuahas?\n\nChristians are a bit stuck to explain these things.\n\nThey can't say God created them after the Flood, because, allegedly, there was just one Creation, and no afterthoughts,\n\nNor can they claim "they developed later" because they would be conceding there was such a thing as evolution, which the fundamentalists deny.\n\nAnd the most obvious flaw in the story is the size of the Ark. Was it 30 cubitts x 60 (as I recall)? A couple of camels, a pair of elephants and a brace of buffalo and you'd be fairly full already. The giraffes would have to be on deck, you couldn't stow them in the hold. So how come they all packed into one boat? Realistically Noah would have needed a Dunkirk flotilla of little boats, each with its own crew and skipper, to achieve the conservation of every species on earth.\n\nPS as pandas only eat bamboo, and the whole world was purportedly flooded, not just the lowlying coastal areas, how come there were bamboo supplies ready and available for them, when the flood receded? If there wasn't any bamboo, they would now be extinct, woukdn't they?

I wish I knew where they were buried as well.  Also, the original bible, I would love to know where it is...I hope someone gives you a good answer for this question.

According to many Biblical scholars, the Garden of Eden was destroyed along with the rest of the world during the Great Flood that was survived only by Noah, his family, and some very fightened animals. And, after somehow getting through all of that, Noah still slaughtered and sacrificed several of the animals after it was all done. "Just not your day!"

There are pictures that some people claim is of Noah's arc covered by snow.  Most people who have actually studied them think that it is more likely that the object under the snow is just a rock formation.\n\nIf the world was ever really covered by a flood that large, there would be evidence in the rock layers around the world.  That evidence has never been found.\n\nIt is more likely that the story in the Bible is based on local flooding in that part of the world such as the flooding of the Black Sea, tidal waves from volcanic explosions in the Mediterranean, or river flooding on the Tigris and Euphrates.\n\nI've heard one story about the possibility of a tidal wave carrying a boat to the slopes of Mt. Ararat, but that seems like a bit of a stretch to me.

I dunno.  \n\nWhat kind of wood did God tell Noah too make the Ark out of?\n\nThere is a reason it took so long too make it. Why?

I've heard that theory. There are books about it, and it was covered on a History channel program, also. But remember, it is only a theory based on an ancient cultural legend.\nOthers have proposed that the ark is either under the Temple in Jerusalem or under Rosslyn Chapel in Scotland, hidden there by Freemasons who found it during Temple excavations during the Crusades. As you can see, there are more than one theories. \nIntriguing, no? But only the SWAG method of theorizing (Simply a Wild-Assed Guess).

The ark is now in Ethiopia.

Same reason most of the Bible has not made it into History Books.  If any such event took place, it is not verifiable...  Or, it didn't take place at all.  This is much like the Noah's Ark story, where there are 4 different sites being looked at that claim to be the spot of Noah's Ark when the waters receeded.  Also, Sodom and Gamorrah, there are several sites people claim are these 2 infamous cities (oddly enough, the Bible claims they would never be remembered again... yet, here we are talking about them.)

I find that question rather thought provoking and slightly humorous.\nMaybe we could communicate with all animals back then.\nHow did Noah get all those animals and bugs and creatures on the boat for instance, maybe he just asked.\nAdam did run the garden of eden and therefore he must of been very knowledgible with many things.  And if he had such a close relationship with God then who knows, maybe you are on to something.\nI did hear someone say that the animals had fear of man put into them after the flood.  And God did confuse the language of the people at the time of Babel and who knows what else .\nI think CS Lewis wrote a divinely inspired story that tugs at the heart strings of those who can see the love , gentleness and bravery and integrity of that beautiful lion. I felt like bawling my eyes out when he had to take that cruel humiliation for those whom he loved and looked after.  Just like Jesus did for us.

1.) Paul and Saul\n2.) Noah had the ark not moses

The first thing Noah did after the flood was to get drunk. No it didn’t work.\n\nGod wiped out every evil on the planet with a great flood, or did he?..\n\nWell somehow evil managed to slip through. Was it a stowaway? Maybe Mr. evil was hiding among the giraffes and hippopotamuses.\n\nAnyway God did make a few mistakes…\n\n1) Created man (he repented for that one in Genesis and I forgive him)\n2) Caused a worldwide flood (surely there must have been a few babies among all the evil people. He hasn’t repent for that one so I can’t help him)

Moses didn't take animals on the ark.  It was Noah.
