how many animals entered Noah's Ark?

Answer 1

100

Answer 2

Well u would have to work out every animal in the world then times it by 2. Maybe all animals were allowed in except dinosaurs innit.

But it is another thing to believe Noah's Ark which factually didnt exist. The story was copied from KUFU.
Also Mount Ararat is in Turkey. You don't find the majority of animals in the ark on the continent where turkey lies. So hint hint Noah's Ark is a joke

Answer 3

According to the crackpot Creationist fairy story, seven of every clean animal and two of every unclean animal.

According to reality, none. I don't know where the estimates of two, sixteen or twenty thousand animal species comes from - perhaps the same fevered imagination that can envisage an ocean liner made of wood. You see, the ark is impossible. It doesn't matter if you don't want that to be true. There is a limit on the size of wooden structures, especially ships. A wooden ship large enough to hold just a tiny fraction of the world's animal species would collapse under its own weight, because our best estimate - which many scientists consider an understatement - is that there are two million animal species on this mudball, of which one hundred thousand are terrestrial vertebrates.

Another unfortunate fact which escapes the fairy-teller's attention : plants. Noah would have had to take at least one of every plant species onto the ark. Terrestrial plants can't live undewater. How did he do that? He couldn't "summon" plants to him. He'd have to visit every land mass on earth - utterly absurd. How would the plants germinate when replanted in the waterlogged soil?

Then there's the problem of animal feed - what would the carnivores eat? Where would the mountains of forage for the elephants, hippos, giraffes and rhinos be stored? What about waste disposal? What about animals with a lifespan less than forty days, including vital insects and spiders?

The ark is an impossible confection, a silly, fictional story. It has a lot in common with Harry Potter - it's a badly written, tedious fantasy which is heavily based upon previous works.

Answer 4

The total figure is a bit controversial. Many writers on the subject of Noah's ark have different estimates for the amount of animals that the ark would have to carry. Doctors Morris and Whitcomb in their book, The Genesis Flood, estimate that approximately 35,000 animals were placed on board the ark. In another book written on the subject, Noah's Ark: A Feasibility Study, John Woodmorappe states that only about 2,000 animals would have to be on the ark. Being rather conservative he continues his study with the assumption that 16,000 animals could easily be cared for on the ark.

probably has more information than you'll ever need to know about how those estimates were derived. Hope this helps!

Answer 5

Not, personally, my belief, But i found this info from the source listed below

three hundred cubits. The dimensions of the ark were ideally designed for both stability and capacity. It has been shown hydrodynamically that the ark would have been practically impossible to capsize and would have been reasonably comfortable, even during violent waves and winds. Assuming the ancient cubit to have been only 17.5 inches (the smallest suggested by an authority), the ark could have carried as many as 125,000 sheep-sized animals. Since there are not more than about 25,000 species of land animals known (mammals, birds, reptiles, amphibians), either living or extinct, and since the average size of such animals is certainly much less than that of a sheep, it is obvious that all the animals could easily have been stored in less than half the capacity of Noah's ark, each pair in appropriate "rooms" (from http://www.answering-islam.org/Shamoun/noahs_ark.htm )

Since (according to this source), There's only about 25000 species of land animals known then my answer is about 50000

Answer 6

Confusing isn't it.
Ask most children who are somewhat familiar with the biblical account of the Flood how many animals of each kind Noah took into the ark, and the answer you likely will hear is, “Two!” These Bible students are familiar with the instructions recorded in Genesis 6:19 that God gave to Noah: “And of every living thing of all flesh you shall bring two of every sort into the ark, to keep them alive with you; they shall be male and female” (Genesis 6:19, emp. added; cf. 7:15). It seems that fewer people, however, are aware that God also instructed Noah, saying, “You shall take with you seven each of every clean animal, a male and his female; two each of animals that are unclean, a male and his female; also seven each of birds of the air, male and female, to keep the species alive on the face of all the earth” (Genesis 7:2-3, emp. added

Answer 7

there have been 3 pairs of each and every, with a seventh of many for a sacrifice later. Fish does no longer have mandatory delivery. The breeding limitations in accordance to “variety” wide-unfold via Jehovah weren't and could no longer be crossed. With this in strategies some investigators have suggested that, had there been as few as forty 3 “varieties” of mammals, seventy 4 “varieties” of birds, and 10 “varieties” of reptiles interior the ark, they might have produced the variety of species frequent at present. Others have been greater liberal in estimating that seventy two “varieties” of quadrupeds and decrease than 200 fowl “varieties” have been all that have been required. That the excellent form of animal life frequent at present might have come from inbreeding interior so few “varieties” following the Flood is proved via the countless form of humankind—short, tall, fats, skinny, with countless transformations interior the colour of hair, eyes, and epidermis—all of whom sprang from the single family individuals of Noah. It could be additionally suggested that of various those animals alive at present, in basic terms approximately 290 species are larger than sheep and yet another a million,360 smaller than rats. even with the incontrovertible fact that there are properly over a million.5 million species of animal life frequent at present, this a great deal places the area standards into perspective.

Answer 8

You shall take with you seven each of every clean animal, a male and his female; two of each animals that are unclean, a male and his female; also seven each of birds of the air, male and female, to keep the species alive on the face of the earth (Genesis 7:2,3).

Two of each animal entered the ark along with seven of each clean animal. The clean animals entered for purpose of sacrifice and for food for Noah and his family.

Doctors Morris and Whitcomb in their book, The Genesis Flood, estimate that approximately 35,000 animals were placed on board the ark.

Answer 9

I don't think they were adult animals on the boat - I think they were babies. that way a good 1,500 or so animals could hang out together in severe weather conditions for 40 days and 40 nights....
" Of every clean beast thou shalt take to thee by sevens, the male and his female: and of beasts that are not clean by two, the male and his female."
7 birds too though obviously there would be loads of sea and water animals left. They were ok I guess. David attenborough reckons there are 60,000 species of animal incl insects, but which ones are clean and which aren't? Anyhow, Alot of animals...

Answer 10

well multipy the amount of species and kinds of that species by 2... so we got.. a lot more then that boat could hold. (you also have to include the insects? if it was infact WORLD WIDE then it would be 2 of every animal across the world. kangaroos to penguins to tigers... lol. and being as they all thrive in completely different climates i wonder how exactly that worked? go take a penguin and bring it to the desert see what happens? or perhaps a kangaroo and bring it up to the arctic? a rainforst animal to the desert and visa versa?
