do you christians really believe the noahs ark story?

Question

There are literally millions of species of animals in the world. Your telling me noah travelled around the whole world and got every animal?

And do you really believe that story about jonah getting swallowed by a whale. That is insane. Seriously.

I find the whale story insane because jonah supposedly was swallowed and survived inside the whales stomach for 3 days and survived. Why wasnt he digested? How did he have enough oxygen?

Answer 1

You're going to burn in hell. Read the Bible, find Jesus, and you will be saved and have your answer.

*please note the sarcasm*

Answer 2

Yes, I do. It's a long story. Some scientists believe it, too. Scientists believe there are some evidences. Some religious groups and or scientists believe Noah’s time during on their journey on water flood happened to be ended their journey reached in Turkey somewhere in the mountain. Scientists tried to measure the rocks, stones, and whatever else to measure if that area is where were happened flood and Noah’s boat landed there or not. Noah’s boat somehow disappears.

Like some scientists think that they could search and find the body of Adam or Eve in million years underground. The truth is they won’t find it. Adam and Eve were buried and back into dust. Not many things that we can’t find anything incredible, or very clandestine, or valuable of Bible history or materials. Only God can and he knows.

About Jonah and the big fish, maybe it’s seemed finding hard to believe about that story. Remember God is power and he can make it happen anything. And where else humans, animals, the world and earth come from? He made those things. He is amazed Father for what he has provide for us Jesus.

Answer 3

Insane only to those who do not have faith.

John 20:29 Jesus saith unto him, Thomas, because thou hast seen me, thou hast believed: blessed are they that have not seen, and yet have believed.

Noah didn't travel around the whole world collecting animals...the animals came TO him. Noah was already IN the ark.

Genesis 7:7-9 And Noah went in, and his sons, and his wife, and his sons' wives with him, into the ark, because of the waters of the flood. Of clean beasts, and of beasts that are not clean, and of fowls, and of every thing that creepeth upon the earth,
There went in two and two unto Noah into the ark, the male and the female, as God had commanded Noah.

It was not a whale...it was a great fish...it could have been a basking shark or a whale shark...see link below.

Jonah 1:17 Now the LORD had prepared a great fish to swallow up Jonah. And Jonah was in the belly of the fish three days and three nights.

Answer 4

The whole point of religion is faith. And Noah didnt gather the animals, they came to him. Besides, back then they liked to exaggerate. The Romans themselves believed they had conquered the entire world, and it was only europe and asia. That flood really could have happened, only the "world" then would have been much smaller. Are you emo or atheist or something. If you don't have a religion, you really shouldn't critique others. Even if you do have a religion, Im sure theres stories in there that are doubtful as well. And yes, Jonah was swallowed by a fish.

Answer 5

Yes, i beleive in the bible. 2 of every kind of animal came to noah because God made it happen. God was so upset at the corrupted world and the events that happened at the tower of babel. That He purified the earth with water and Noah was the one that found favor in the eyes of the Lord.
Jonah didn't follow God's command for him to go to Niniveh and to share with his people. He ran from God! But this story proves that you cannot hide from God. God brought a great storm upon him and the boat he was on. Jonah knew the storm was being brought on because of him and the people on the boat did too and wanted jonah to jump so the storm would calm.
Jonah did get swallowed by a big fish, the bible is not clear on what kind of fish it was. We don't know if it was a whale or not.
But it really did happened. After being in the big fish for 3 days jonah surrended to his Almighty God, and God delivered him from the fish.

Answer 6

The "whole world" in the time of Noah did not include the Americas, Australia, Japan, etc... So the answer to your question is 'No'. It is feasible for him to have gathered animals that were in the region though. The planet itself was not completely flooded, just the civilized world at that time. But that's just my personal opinion.

As for Jonah, that could've happened. My Uncle Joe was swallowed by a whale, or so he says. Who knows, it was the 70's...

Answer 7

I believe it. Have you seriously studied the Ark? Use your scientific awareness to figure it out, just like you were trying to piece together some clues on dinosaur bones.

Were there continents then? Maybe there was only one. Have you looked under the ocean, all the continents are still connected.

If there was really a God, and If he spoke the universe into existence-do you really think he would have trouble getting animals on a boat.
The ark and the whale story are child's play, if there was a God.

Answer 8

I not purely believe it, yet I proudly tutor it. i will do it as publicly as you want, because that is the actuality. enable me wager: you're probably coming to it from a standpoint of lack of expertise are not you? you spot, maximum folk who scoff at it are truly ignorant. they have not in any respect idea it by skill of. subsequently, the idea seems loopy to them. yet enable me also wager: you do not have any situation assuming you're little more advantageous than an advanced monkey that began in an ocean of goo. accurate? in case you truly care about the Noah's ark tale, then you definitely concentration on accurate the following: a million. Geological evidence of a global flood (there is lots, study it). 2. almost each and every faith or subculture has a global flood tale. of direction, they have replaced it slightly, yet many of the money owed reflect many of the biblical account. This strongly affirms that one of those flood would have taken position and been surpassed right down to many cultures people (that is why that's distorted). 3. Animals--maximum folk do not assume animals might want to in nice condition on the ark. They fail to comprehend they purely needed kinds (ie, a dogs--not each and every type of dogs/wolf/etc). second, the area has been calculated ad nauseum, and continually come out to certainly accommodate such creatures. 4. The earth become diverse, because the bible is going in tremendous length to debate. The flood become the end results of not purely a probably "vapor cover" finally liberating each and each and every of the moisture, yet also tremendous quantities of underground water reservoirs. that is all I submit for this question, yet in case you get rid of lack of expertise and skepticism, you're stunned at how the flood has a lot extra evidence than evolution and so on.

Answer 9

First of all i do not like being called "you christans". Second thing; yes i do. People say that it would be impossible for god to fit that many animals in his ark, but i think some thing don't have a 'scientific' answer. also jonah did get swallowed by a whale. like i just said; sme things don't have a scientific answer.

Answer 10

Yes, I believe that he obtained 2 of every type of animal that was around at that time. One male and one female so they could produce offspring. And yes Jonah was in a whale for 3 whole days. One two three, three whole days!!!!!!

Answer 11

Amazingly enough, the Noah's Ark story, or the story of a global flood, is one story that is common to almost all of the world's religions and ancient cultures. Babylonians, Ancient Chinese and even Native American (North and South America) have flood stories similar to Noah's Ark.

Does that make it true? Not necesarily, but it does make you wonder whether it is more than just a coincidence.
