When God asked Noah to bulid an arc? What did he do about the other people who owned boats?
486706
He didn't have to do anything.\nThe Ark that he built was specially designed to withstand the terrible deluge that was coming.\nThe ARK was not designed as a true boat. It wasn't built for navigation...it was only designed to stay afloat and to survive the weather conditions from the Flood.\nOther water craft would not have been able to survive...although I'm sure people tried every means they could.\nTo know more about the Flood and the ARK...go to the sources I've provided below.\nGod bless.

Ham married before the Flood. Along with his wife, his father and mother, and his two brothers and their wives, he survived the Flood. (Ge 6:18; 7:13; 8:15, 16, 18; 1Pe 3:19, 20) Ham’s sons were born after the Flood.\n\nSometime later he became involved in an incident that brought a curse on his son Canaan. Noah had become intoxicated with wine and had uncovered himself in his tent. Ham saw his father’s nakedness, and instead of showing the proper respect for Noah, the family head and the servant and prophet whom God had made an instrument in the preservation of the human race, Ham told his two brothers of his discovery. Shem and Japheth exhibited the proper respect by walking backwards with a mantle to cover Noah so that they would not bring reproach by looking on their father’s nakedness. Noah, on awakening, uttered a curse, not on Ham, but on Ham’s son Canaan. In the accompanying blessing of Shem, which included a blessing for Japheth, Ham was passed over and ignored; only Canaan was mentioned as cursed and was prophetically foretold to become a slave to Shem and Japheth.—Ge 9:20-27.\n\nWhy did Noah curse Canaan when Ham was the offender?\n\nVery likely Canaan was guilty of some abuse or perversion against the person of his grandfather Noah, and Ham witnessed this without interfering. Instead, Noah’s son Ham appears to have spread the story, whereas Shem and Japheth acted to cover their father. Therefore, they were blessed, the likely perpetrator Canaan was cursed, and the bystander and talebearer Ham suffered through the shame brought upon his offspring. Although the Scriptures do not provide all the details, the important point is that Jehovah caused Noah to utter the prophecy and God brought about its fulfillment when the Canaanites who were not destroyed by the Israelites were put under servitude to those descendants of Shem.—Joshua 9:23; 1 Kings 9:21.

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 cannot make sense out of your question, but if you are asking if these natural disasters were "acts of God," the answer is emphatically - NO!  He does not ever wish such things on people, nor would he do anything like these without prior warnings.  \n\nA good example to study is that of Noah.  Yes, that was a major "natural disaster," but the people had been warned again and again, and chose not to listen.  Read Chapters 6-9 of Genesis.  Also note what Jesus said at Matthew 24:37-39 - "Just as the days of Noah were, so the presence of the Son of man will be.  For as they were in those days before the flood, eating and drinking, men marrying and women being given in marriage, until the day that Noah entered into the ark; and they took no note until the flood came and swept them all away"

Read in the Bible Genesis chapters 15-17. God promised Abraham that his decendents would be more numerous than the stars in the sky, yet his wife Sarah could not have children. When God told Abraham and Sarah that they would have a child, they laughed and didn't believe God, because they were past child bearing years. Sarah took matters into her own hands and gave her servant, Hagar, to Abraham to have a child by to 'fulfill' the prophecy. Hagar became pregnant and the child, Ishmael, is the one from whom the palestinians/arabs are descendent. Later, just as God said, Sarah became pregnant and bore Isaac. If you read Genesis 16:11-12 it tells how the angel spoke to Hagar when she was pregnant, about Ishmael. Is says "You are now with child and you will have a son. You shall name him Ishmael, for the Lord has heard your misery. He will be a wild donkey of a man; his hand will be against everyone and everyone's hand against him, and he will live in hostility toward all his brothers". Today that hostility is still there between the jewish and palestinian brothers. The hostility against Israel is there because Israel is God's chosen people and many people want that idea and that people destroyed. Even though Israel has rejected her Messiah, they are still those who were chosen by God and any nation that comes against Israel will suffer greatly for it. The land of Israel was given to them by God after they escaped Egypt, and they will fight to the death to keep the land that God has given to them, but the Palestinians believe that the land is theirs by right. This is the reason for most of the fighting today.

Prophet Noah (pbuh) called his people to the worship of One God (monotheism)

He did.  He said "...Hey, brother, Noah I'll tell you what to do.  Build me a floating zoo.  And bring some of them green alligators...*\n\nI guess the people back then didn't know about modern technology and thus couldn't include it in their storybook..oops, I mean bible.

God had specifically told Noah and his family to spread out and fill the earth. In rebellion, probably under the lead of Nimrod( first human dictator) The people began to cluster into cities, instead of spreading out. The tower was built to make a celebrated name for the Builders and to keep them from spreading out. Actually God did not destroy the building. His confusing the languages effectively stopped the work, and caused the builders to spread earth wide. Genesis 9:1 and  11:1-10

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!

God told Noah: "And as for you, take for yourself every sort of food that is eaten; and you must gather it to yourself, and it must serve as food for you and for them.”  (Gen. 6:21)\n\n"Later on the dove came to Noah about the time of evening and, look! there was an olive leaf freshly plucked in its bill, and so Noah got to know that the waters had abated from the earth. 12 And he went on waiting still another seven days.  Then he sent out the dove, but it did not come back again to him anymore."  (Gen. 8:12,)  This indicates that vegetation was growing again on the earth, like the olive tree.  After Noah sent the dove out the third time, it did not come back, which most likely shows that ample vegetation had grown on the earth to feed the dove.\nYet, some olive trees in the Flood apparently retained their vitality, enabling them to sprout fresh shoots when the waters receded.\n\nConcerning the olive tree, 'The New Bible Dictionary' states:  “If cut down, new shoots spring up from the root, so that as many as five new trunks could thus come into being.  Moribund [near dead] olives usually sprout in this manner also.”  It is “as if its vitality were indestructible,” says The New Schaff-Herzog Encyclopedia of Religious Knowledge.  No human today knows the details, such as salinity and temperature, of the floodwaters. Hence, we cannot be sure about their potential effect on olive trees and other vegetation.\n\nIf you would like further information, please contact Jehovah's Witnesses at the local Kingdom Hall.

Yes we can draw lessons from the deluge in Noah's day...\nGod can save humans when the war of Armageddon comes.\nJesus mentioned that "Just like the days of Noah....."\nAlso tells us that what ever our Creator says he means.\nAlso mercy, kindness, justice. love, power, wisdom was demonstrated. I am happy you used the word DELUGE instead of flood.\nPeace.....

None, Moses never took any on the ark, Noah did. Thus the title, Noah's Ark!

Noah’s deluge. To understand you have to start with Gen.6:1.\nGen.6:1 And it came to pass, when men began to multiply on the face of the earth, and daughters were born unto them, \nThe word “men” is Heb. (ha-adham) means “the man Adam” or his progeny. The word “them” is referring to Adam and Eve. The scripture is talking about Adam and Eve’s clan and not mankind. Mankind a subject for another time. \nGen.6:2 That the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they were fair; and they took them wives of all which they chose. \nThe term “sons of God” means angels or fallen angels. The word “men” again means Adam and Eve’s progeny or clan. Satan was trying to corrupt God’s plan. That is, from umbilical cord to umbilical cord would come Christ. This is why Eve is called “the mother of all living”.\nGen.6:9 These are the generations of Noah: Noah was a just man and perfect in his generations, and Noah walked with God. \nThe word “perfect” Heb. (tamin) means “without blemish as to breed or pedigree”.\nGen.6:17 And, behold, I, even I, do bring a flood of waters upon the earth, to destroy all flesh, wherein is the breath of life, from under heaven; and every thing that is in the earth shall die. \nThe word “earth” Heb. (erets) means “land”, not the whole earth. Besides God says, “to destroy all flesh” in Adam’s clan.\nGen.7:24 And the waters prevailed upon the earth an hundred and fifty days. \nGen.8:11 And the dove came in to him in the evening; and, lo, in her mouth was an olive leaf pluckt off: so Noah knew that the waters were abated from off the earth. \nIf the entire globe had been under water 150 days, where did this olive leaf (pluckt off) come from.\nGen 9:11  And I will establish my covenant with you; neither shall all flesh be cut off any more by the waters of a flood; neither shall there any more be a flood to destroy the earth. \nRemember what God said in Gen.6:17, “to destroy all flesh”. Here God makes a covenant with Noah and his sons. Neither shall all flesh be cut off any more. Neither shall there any more be a flood to destroy the earth. Two floods. One for flesh, Noah’s deluge. One to destroy the earth back in Gen.1:2. The global flood is a subject for another time.\nSome consider the plateau of Pamir to be the original Eden. This probably was the homeland of Adam's descendants up until the time of the Flood. Today it’s known as the Tarim Basin or Eastern Turkestan. This region is surrounded by a ridge of very high mountains forming a gigantic basin in the midst of them. It measures 1,000 miles long and is about 350 miles wide.  \nUssher’s Chronology says 2348 B.C., Davidson says November 2345 B.C. to November 2344 B.C. for Noah’s deluge.\nRecords of the Sumerians in Mesopotamia., their King Lists date to about 3350 B.C., and show an ongoing civilization well through the period of the flood. Egypt felt nothing of the deluge, they had an uninterrupted succession of Dynasties. China's civilization during the Yao Dynasty (between 2400 B.C. – 2200 B.C.) with no record of a cataclysmic interruption. \nSo Noah’s deluge was a local flood. But there was a global flood in Gen.1:2. Study II Pet.3:5-7,  Jer.4:23-27.\nPsa.104:6 Thou coveredst it with the deep as with a garment: the waters stood above the mountains. Psa.104:7 At thy rebuke they fled; at the voice of thy thunder they hasted away. \nGen 1:6  And God said, Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters.

Of course the Bible is true. Noah's Ark was powered by twin-engine Cummins diesels. And Noah's old lady used to water-ski behind it. Any other questions?
