Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Noah’s Ark . Do you believe or ?

Yes

Yes. It happened.

The Grimm brothers also wrote a big book of morality tales. But they didn't give god a byline.

It's true. Firstly because the word of God says so, and secondly because evidence of it abounds.

Count me among the believers.

Both the Med and the Black Sea show signs that they were dry at one point. The Med dried out into a salt basin. The Black Sea became a fertile plain. When the breach at Gibraltar finally came, it filled the Med basin in a couple of months. When the breach happened at the Bosphorus, it was considerably gentler, and the inhabitants could have outpaced the rising water by walking.

Both events were well back in time, certainly before recorded history. However, these tales could have survived through oral tradition.

The American Indians also have similar tales, and there are records of some catastrophic floods in America. Most important was the one that washed down through the Mississippi basin and created The Badlands.

Did Noah's Ark happen just the way it is told in the Bible? I'd invite y'all to go visit Ark Encounter just over a couple ridges from me. They've built an ark and will show you just how it was done.

I believe the Bible to be accurate truth.
The absolute Word Of God.
My existence depends on it! 😀

Believer here and to others that are like minded this replica in Kentucky is well worth the visit. Three levels and outfitted like it would have been.

I sure some farmer (name of Noah) did, once upon a time, build a big boat and put all of his animals on it during a flood. He may have later exaggerated the experience. They probably just floated around the pasture for a bit. This is just good storytelling; practiced by presidential candidates all the time. GD

First, others aren't "quick" to debunk it, the fossil record has been documented over centuries.

Second, those weren't "researchers." They were men who started out with a preconceived notion and set out to find "evidence" to prove it, ignoring all the evidence that disproves it.


Believe Noah's Ark, or don't believe it but don't try to use junk science to "prove" it. It doesn't work.

In my mind, it doesn't seem plausible, but neither does a lot of things in the Bible. I do believe it happened, although I don't have the brain horsepower to explain it.

I surely wish he'd forgotten the yellow jackets.

I believe that it was written about thousands of years ago in the Bible. Since then, there has been unbelievers that started writing to try to disprove it but haven't had much success.

Still a tough pill to swallow that Emus were gathered from Australia, Polar bears from the arctic, Jaguars from South America, Hyenas from Africa, elephants from India etc. All brought back alive to one boat in the Middle East, provisioned for the long boat ride and then released back into the wild and repopulated the earth from the most constricted genetic bottleneck possible.

Ever heard of tectonic plates and continental drift?. Surely you don't believe the ocean was 8000 feet or more higher than it is now. Think about what an average annual 1/4 inch rise in elevation could do in 1 million years.

No.

I believe

Those animals could have possibly existed elsewhere 'pre-flood'?

If one believes in the miracle of Easter wouldn't that make what God & Noah accomplished also be feasible?

Just food for thought.

Yes, I believe. I also believe that there are many things, in the Bible as well as things in general, that are beyond our level of understanding. We are at once too quick to dismiss some things out of hand and too quick to accept "scientific" explanations for others.

As to the Ark, I grow very frustrated with those who endlessly repeat the "TWO of each species" when the Bible clearly states otherwise.

Believe it existed, bet there were other arks flooding the flood waters at that time also, probably fleets of arks. Don't buy into a theory that Noah,his family and the animals he had along were the sole survivors. The Bible is a very condensed version about the story of humanity. Simple logic.

Check out the Lake Missoula flood when a 3000 square mile lake broke loose from its ice dam and came roaring across Idaho and what is now the Scab Lands In Washington state. I bet those survivors had a worldwide flood story.
