do you realy believe these stories?

Question

noahs ark and somson and delilah.

noahs ark is a made up story if the world was flooded to the mountain tops then where did all that water go? and it is impossible to collect two of every animal on the planet and put them on a giant ark that would be impossible to build with just a few people. and if noah and his family were the only ones who got on the ark that means every one else would be dead.

and about samson and delilah just relize how silly the whole thing sounds.

i know i misspelled realise sorry.

Answer 1

You still misspelled realize. LOL.

Noah's ark:
1. This happened in the beginning of the bible so I'm sure that there wasn't as many species of animals as there is now.
2. Water evaporates and God could have just made it go away.
3. Yes, everyone else did die, that was the point because God saw all the wickedness and thought Noah and his family were worth saving.

Samson and Delilah, what's the problem with this one?
1. Women are slick and can use their body to get just about anything.
2. Some people believe in superstitions so strongly that if its broken they believe that something bad will happen or what not. And, if you train yourself to believe something bad will happen something will. Samson believed his hair was his strength, when it was cut off he lost faith in himself. But, I'm sure his strength was still there. He just didn't believe anymore.

Answer 2

if u just remember ur school classes, u may have come cross this.

the earth once was a total boiling pot. but with time there were gases like carbon, oxygen, nitrogen, sulphur and hydrogen. these clubbed to form water vapor, methane, carbon dioxide, so2, ammonia, etc. now these again and again combined.

ultimately the water vapor content resulted in cloud formation and it started raining all of a sudden. and it rained for eras and finally the earth started cooling. the volcanic activity stopped gradually.

and then everything started evolving from proteomes. and there have been many events like great flood, ice ages, and babylonian plagues and activities of pompeii. remember. so there is an evidence of a great flood. some scientists now are suporting it.

may be a good book on evolution and ecology will help u.

and where is all the water gone? -- remember gondwana and luthiana? i would like u to open up ur atlas and check out the image of the world. and see for urself that the land we live in is just a very small peice.

from where do u think the water came when it was tsunami of 2004 or hurricane katrina last year?

and if we dont do something to stop the global warming, then be prepared for the second great flood of human history.

Answer 3

First off, there was a lot less animal species, as this was less than 1000 years after the creation. As for the mountain tops, there weren't any high mountain tops, the great flood caused much of the surface changes, disrupting fault lines and collapsing aquifers. The Ark was not a boat, which is only found in Mythology of pagan religions, it was a box. It didn't have to sail, just float, which a box floats very well. In that shape, it was quite easy to built, especially for humans who still had very superb health and long life spans. Humans didn't just go from having everlasting life to the short lives we have today, they decreased over thousands of years. I imagine they were also quite strong. And yes, everyone else did die. Since they were still close to the time of the Creation, genetic mutations had not yet become a problem.

As for Samson, the cutting of his hair was a lesson to him when he allowed himself to be seduce by an evil woman. God took his power away. It is like the fruit from the tree of knowledge. It fruit didn't actually give them knowledge, eating it gave them the experience of committing a sin, the only knowledge they lacked. Prior to that, they had no knowledge or experience with it.

Answer 4

First of all, Noah and his sons had over a hundred years to build it, and he could have hired other workers to help. The animals came to Noah; he didn't go get them. The ark would have been more than large enough to hold the animals; do the math and see just how much room there was. Yes, everybody else would have been dead; what's your point.

As for Samson and Delilah, what's your point? Be a little more specific.

Answer 5

The water receded. In Psalms it talks about the mountains rising up and the valleys sinking down, and God made a boundary for the waters of the Earth. The water is still there. At the tops of mountains like Everest, they've found fossils of sea creatures, indicating they were underwater at some point.

It would be easy for them to get all the animals necessary, the Earth most likely was one piece of land at that time, and God brought most of the animals to Noah. Yes, bc Noah's family was the only one on the Ark, everyone else did die, that's why God flooded the Earth, to kill all of the ppl bc they turned to evil.

Answersingenesis.org has some more information on the Flood, if you actually want to learn rather than making blind statements.

Answer 6

In the bible there are a list of clean animals and unclean animals, so if you have the 7 pairs of clean animals and the pair of unclean animal it ends up adding up to less then 500 (i think). It's been so long since I studied it...guess I need to go do some reading!

The two by two thing is a common misinterpretation.
If you believe that God created the Earth and all the beings on it would it be so hard to believe he couldn't get rid of a liitle water?

Grab a bible and read it, if for nothing else the mythology and stories are good! You wouldn't believe some of the crazy stories that come up!


Blessed Be!

Answer 7

Maybe the water has gone into the icebergs!!! It's impossible for you to imagine being able to do it as you are a skeptic. But with God, anything is possible.

Sometimes stories in the bible are metaphors and not the exact thing that physically happened. Jesus told stories in parables so that only people who were really ready would understand. Also, they were easier to remember because a lot of people back then couldn't just go read it again.

Answer 8

I don't take the entire Bible literally. I don't think that the Bible is meant to be taken that literally.
Especially since there is alot of missing pieces. Some of those pieces were taken by the herarchy of the church.
Religion is just a government, they only let you know what they want you to know.
So, you take everything with a grain of salt. (or a pillar-such is the case)
Some of it is very true... some of it is metaphor.
Some of it applies in life today. Some of it doesn't.
You have to see how any of this, whether or not you believe in God, applies to you.
That's the way I read my horoscope. If it's good advice in general, sure, I'll take it.
If it doesn't apply at all- I toss it.

Answer 9

Yes, I believe it. They've found what they believe to be Noahs arc on Mt Arrarat... Saw PAM pics back in late 80's early 90's pics, but every expidition to try to get there has been destroyed. By nature is what the reports say... but maybe God just has a reason He doesn't want people to get there yet.

(Now, my remarks are based on old knowledge, I haven't investigated this in 10-15 years!)

Answer 10

the prophet that you call noah in my relligion is called nuh. the story is actually like this... no one believe his word about god. and then he pray to god to teach them all a lesson. so then the place floaded. before the event, the prophet have told them to believe him but like all know, they dont. Nuh who was kinda sad about this build a big ship with all his comrades who got faith on him. when the place floaded, they and every 2 of every animal sail on the ark. so the flood wasnt happen on this entire planet, only at there and the big flood went to the sea........the conclusion is, i believe this story..
