Can someone explain the theory behind Noah's Ark?

Question

I understand why it was done. What I don't understand is if Noah took all animals 2 of each kind, one of each sex then wouldn't that mean all animals are incest?

Answer 1

That is correct. It needed to be done that way for a period of time until God was satisfied that the earth was populated according to His numbers. After that , God changed the rules and made it wrong to have insest. Everyting God does is always for a good reason and is always best.

Answer 2

7 of clean flesh and 2 of unclean flesh.
Now understand this Man is also flesh.

and yes of the unclean animals yes.

I have done some research on the Noah flood, and it may not have been a global flood.

If the mediterrian was dry land and man was created in the IRAQ and IRAN area. Now you have to assume that Gibraltar was a sea wall (as some experts believe) and the wall broke, it would flood all the way into the pacific. But if you had moved to France or below Egypt you would survive. The flood would leave the mediterrian sea.

Answer 3

You need to examine the laws concerning incest. It took time before the full effects of sin reached the point where incestral laws were instituted otherwise the sons and daughters of the first generations of humans would not have been able to procreate healthy children. It was not until long after the flood that God viewed it as necessary to forbid incest. It took time before the effects of the changes in the earths atmosphere with its lack of protection from UV rays, and the subsequent change in the nutritional value of vegetation and the introduction of meat as food to effect mankind in such a way that close familial DNA factors presented a hazard in mating with near relatives. You have to remember that in Genesis 1:6,7 it describes a separation of waters above and below the Atmosphere which was a vapor canopy that protected man from the effects of the sun and when God opened the window of heaven the protective vapor canopy collapsed and every since then we have been bombarded with UV rays, living under a difference in air pressure and vegetation that lacks the ability to give us the nutritional value as it did before the flood.

Answer 4

i've got on no account considered one admit to misusing the notice or perhaps nicely known that it has a various meaning in the context of technological know-how than it does customarily communique. I often confer with the reason from the U. S. nationwide Academy of Sciences: "some medical factors are so nicely everyday that no new evidence is probably to regulate them. the reason will become a medical theory. In frequent language a theory potential a slump or hypothesis. not so in technological know-how. In technological know-how, the notice theory refers to a complete rationalization of an significant characteristic of nature supported via information accumulated over the years. Theories additionally enable scientists to make predictions approximately as yet unobserved phenomena, a medical theory is a nicely-substantiated rationalization of a few component of the organic international, in line with a physique of information that have been many times shown by commentary and test. Such fact-supported theories are actually not "guesses" yet good debts of the genuine international. the belief of organic and organic evolution is greater advantageous than "in elementary terms a theory." it fairly is as authentic an evidence of the universe as a results of fact the atomic theory of rely or the germ theory of ailment. Our wisdom of gravity continues to be a artwork in progression. however the phenomenon of gravity, like evolution, is a standard fact."

Answer 5

Sure - no theory just a story - impossible

All species would not fit

2 of each is not enough for the DNA lines to breed successfully

Try, science, knowledge and the testable, repeatable, observable world - that makes for a theory.

The bible - that's a bunch of stories with dead ends not theories based on science.

Answer 6

First of all, its only a story. Second, One would imagine that Noah took care to pick two animals who were not born from the same mother... I guess.

Answer 7

It's a fun story, but entirely fictitious. A flood of the sort described in the bible would have left substantial evidence. No such evidence exists. If you are still not convinced, figure out the amount of water that would have been required to cause such a flood. (Hint: it is more than four times as much water as exists anywhere on the planet.)

Answer 8

The very best explaination of Noah's problem is covered in Bill Cosby's monologue that came out in the late '70's or early '80's. Mr. Cosby tells it like it was.

Answer 9

The 2 animals would be the Adam and Eve for each species.

Answer 10

First of all you need to do some more homework.Noah was told to take all clean animals in sevens all unclean two by two.Get to
reading you could say the same about us if Adam and Eve spawned the entire world we are all related.
