Oh, it's a story of Judaism (and Christianity and Islam) that god flooded the world to drown all the evil people, but Noah's family were the only ones who deserved to live.

So god told them to build a boat (the ark) and put some animals on it, so that the animals wouldn't die out either.

No. Some people think it was, but it's just a story.

Of course, if you just think that the moral of the story is true, then that's alright.

A flood did occur, probably the effect of a tsunami, and I am sure it killed a great many people. Noah was a guy that had a little boat and took with him two chickens. The tsunami carried him out to sea and he was there, floating, for three days. The townsfolk wished that Noah had been gone for forty days because it is a known fact that Noah had a thing for chickens.

It might have happened in areas near bodies of water when the ice caps melted, but it wasn't worldwide, and it wasn't over mount everest.

The reality is .. this is gonna turn into another one of those threads about God being real or not ... it's all a matter of what you believe in and your beliefs. Why? Because God told Noah to build the Ark. So if you believe in the story you believe in God. If you don't believe in God then it's just another story you heard when you were a child.

No, now they are going to take it as an insult and start arguing because you thought this was just a thread bashing christianity, head for the hills!

No where did I even hint at that. I believe in God and I believe in Noah and the Ark. I was just stating a fact is all.

You can't believe in the Noahs' Ark story and not believe in God. The 2 things go hand in hand.

Alright, all the fallacies to the Noah's Ark story:

1. The dimensions stated for the size of the ark simply could not have held even a fraction of the sheer volume of creatures this ark would be required to carry.

2. Forgetting the sheer volume of creatures, the amount of food and fresh water required to feed all those animals, for the length of time indicated in the Bible, would have taken many times more space than that taken up by the animals themselves.

3. There is simply not enough water, was not enough water, to flood the entire Earth.

4. If all animals were to be saved, then there is no explanation as to why the dinosaurs did not survive.

5. Mt. Araraik is not the highest mountain, far from it, so how convenient is it that they define that mountain... you know, the mountain nearest to the framing of the Biblical stories, as the land where Noah landed?

6. And, after landing on that rock, how is it that all the animals that could not survive at such an altitude, survived?

7. And, after landing on that rock, how is that there was time for plants to grow that would provide sustenance for all those grazers?

8. And, after landing on that rock, how is it that all the carnivores were able to survive without eating all, or most, of the grazers?

8. and... and... and... and... and...


It's nice to believe in stories, but when you put the microscope to the question, you find so many discrepancies that you must come to the conclusion the story is merely a story, not an historical account.

Alright. It's time to debunk Hellstromm's post with facts.

1. The ark was probably bigger than we realize. It was probably the size of an entire continent. Remember it took Noah almost 400 years to build!

2. God provided the food, therefore all was well.

3. God created the water and then took it back.

4. Because the dinosaurs were sinners, just like the people.

5. Well, it was the biggest right after the great flood, but in order to keep the ark from being discovered, God shrank it.

6. God moved them back across the world.

7. God made them grow.

8. God.

9. Just because science says that god is wrong, does not mean that he's wrong. You see, god created science, or maybe it was satan in an effort to fool us. God works in mysterious ways, so trying to say that we can measure his influence is like saying that he didn't create science, which he obviously did.
