Should Christians be placing the same importance on the accurate teaching of something like the Great Flood, as is placed on Armageddon, or are the small details unimportant in the overall scheme of things?
Watching a program on the History Channel, they showed how it has been established that it had to be a box, not a boat, as in the shape of a boat, it would have rolled over without tones of ballast (rocks) taking up room in the hole. The shape of a boat came from Sumerian myth of Ziusudra, as well as other sources. A box would have floated level and without rocking, which would have made for a lot of very sick animals.
Is it important to be teaching our children that the Ark was a box, and not a boat, or is it one of those little things in the Bible that is not especially important?
