Dramamine.

You've got an answer to every question that gets asked. Let me guess...you're christian? (that is only so funny though because I have an aunt who actually converted to Jehovah's witness and she had an answer for everything as well...granted, I consider that a christian religion even though it isn't technically I don't believe...They follow the same general idealisms and readings :shrug

That new weave has you on point today

One of my co-workers just rolled up in here and gave me the "hello", using his best pimp-sounding voice, only to follow it up with "Oh crap - it's you! You cut your hair!"

Noah's Ark.



The thought of it just crossed my mind and I wanted the religious explanation of how he fit all of those animals on the boat, ect ect please.

TIA

Whenever you have questions like this, there is a great resource at this link, and this one.

 

[itsbob]

Why?
God comanded Noah to pack a breeding pair of every animal known. He says this to a Jewish guy in 1,000 bc. How many animals do you think were known to the man that recieved the directive?

He took two sheep and two camels on his boat?

I still have yet to get a serious response on these questions...besides the supposed size of a boat that is apparently heavily guarded in another nation (convenient eh? if we go by that then whose to say flying saucers don't exist? I bet they have one of those heavily guarded somewhere as well...)

Did you read post 12? Or post 15? Or, either of the links I gave you?

How big WAS it?!
(any gameshow gurus out there? )

From Genesis 6:15-27 (King James Version)

And this is the fashion which thou shalt make it of: The length of the ark shall be three hundred cubits, the breadth of it fifty cubits, and the height of it thirty cubits.

A window shalt thou make to the ark, and in a cubit shalt thou finish it above; and the door of the ark shalt thou set in the side thereof; with lower, second, and third stories shalt thou make it.

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.

But with thee will I establish my covenant; and thou shalt come into the ark, thou, and thy sons, and thy wife, and thy sons' wives with thee.

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.

Of fowls after their kind, and of cattle after their kind, of every creeping thing of the earth after his kind, two of every sort shall come unto thee, to keep them alive.

And take thou unto thee of all food that is eaten, and thou shalt gather it to thee; and it shall be for food for thee, and for them.

Thus did Noah; according to all that God commanded him, so did he.

Read the Bible, the dimensions of the boat God told Noah to build are right there.

Genesis 6:14-16

14 Make yourself an ark of gopherwood; make rooms in the ark, and cover it inside and outside with pitch.
15 And this is how you shall make it: The length of the ark shall be three hundred cubits, its width fifty cubits, and its height thirty cubits.
16 You shall make a window for the ark, and you shall finish it to a cubit from above; and set the door of the ark in its side. You shall make it with lower, second, and third decks.

And where the Ark came to rest after the Flood.

Genesis 8:4-5

4 Then the ark rested in the seventh month, the seventeenth day of the month, on the mountains of Ararat.
5 And the waters decreased continually until the tenth month. In the tenth month, on the first day of the month, the tops of the mountains were seen.

The mountains of Ararat not necessarily Mount Ararat. Oh and a cubit is aprox 18inches, so multiply 18 x the cubits then divide by 12 to get the footage, Just in case you had another question.

 

[Starman3000m]

something that amazing would have already been seized by the great US government


in all seriousness though...

another question that must be addressed...

Why did none of the animals attack eachother?

Perhaps the animals taken aboard were not fully grown yet but rather fairly young - which would mean smaller and lighter in load. The Bible doesn't say that the animals taken aboard were all fully grown. Still, it would not take long for the animals to reach maturity whereby they could begin breeding their kind to re-populate the animal kingdom that we know today.

Just a thought

yes, I read those posts...that is why I referred to them as being the only question addressed (duh?).

I didn't read your links because the one was bible gateway...which I recall as being an online bible or something which doesn't interest me right now, I was seeking opinions from the die-hard members here...and dogpile...which is a terrible search engine :shrug: (and one I won't use at work because half of what comes up is porn )

so, do yall have opinions of your own or is that all you can do, link to other sites?

don't forget..we must include all of the millions of varieties of amazonian animals (some species which have yet to be even DISCOVERED), all poisonous snakes, spiders, ect (hmm, nobody ever had a run in with those on the boat?) Lions, tigers, and bears (Oh my!), ect ect ect...

You forget... God is at the top of this project... which means all things are possible... It doesn't have to make any more sense than that...

In Daniel a flaming finger wrote on the wall in blood... there's no other explaination for that than God did it....

I expected no more explanation than this.

I mean, come on...is there a reason we see none of these things occuring NOW? I guess god used up all of his magical resources a few thousand years ago?

This post is kind of off topic but I just have to say, this entire thread is why I like the bible before Jesus came down. After Jesus came, it was a choice on if you believed or not. Before Jesus came you had the stories of Moses parting the Red Sea, Jonah and the Whale, the people turning into a pillar of salt, etc. That pretty much let people know "Hey, yeah, I'm here even though you can't see me. And if you don't believe, then something bad is going to happen to you. If you do believe, then you can survive just about anything."

Supposedly it is somewhere in Turkey and the Turkish gov't will not allow anyone near it.

You should try google sometime.

Mount Ararat?

Wonder if we can see it on Google Earth?

Now ask them where all the skeletal remains are of the animals AND people killed in the flood.. all 2 BILLION people.. and unheard number of animals, they should all be residing in the same level of strata.. washed over by the flood, and covered with the detritus of the same flood.. houses, wood.. dirt, rocks.. ice. etc.. etc. They should all be well preserved.

They were probably lifted from the earth by the same flying saucer you speak of.

All kinds were taken into account, as allowed by God:

They had with them every wild animal according to its kind, all livestock according to their kinds, every creature that moves along the ground according to its kind and every bird according to its kind, everything with wings. (Genesis 7:14)

You're still not seeing the logic here...

Ok, so you say they had all of these millions (billions maybe?) types of creatures with them on a boat. MAYBE you can get away with saying that the larger creatures were caged...ok, I'll give you that (though there wouldn't be enough room for all of them) but how about the smaller creatures? Ants, spiders, snakes, ect? How about the mice that would reproduce and OVERpopulate the boat thus leaving no room for the other creatures. How about the fact that some of these animals were carnivorous? What exactly were they fed? Did they become vegetarians until the flood was over? I mean, they couldn't have eaten animals right, or then there wouldn't have been any of those creatures to reproduce (Lion eats squirrel, no more squirrels...get my meaning?).

None of this stuff adds up and it is one thing for the uneducated peoples of the time period to believe these stories, but with our logical analytic skills of today...how can anyone even attempt to rationalize this thinking?

 

[This_person]

yes, I read those posts...that is why I referred to them as being the only question addressed (duh?).

So, the question was about the size of the boat, you got the answer. What else did you need the answer to? The rest of your posts are accusations, not questions.

I didn't read your links because the one was bible gateway...which I recall as being an online bible or something which doesn't interest me right now,

That makes sense. Why look in the Bible for a biblical question?

I was seeking opinions from the die-hard members here...

"opinions"? On the size? Big, really really big.

and dogpile...which is a terrible search engine :shrug: (and one I won't use at work because half of what comes up is porn )

Use the filter! (duh) Dogpile is google, yahoo, and many others all at once. It provides wide and varied information. It must have found cookies on your drive from other searches to find porn - it doesn't do that for me.

so, do yall have opinions of your own or is that all you can do, link to other sites?

The boat was big enough, and they all fit. That's my opinion, what's yours?
