How big was Noahs Ark?

Question

If Noah and his family gathered 2 of each animal and put them on the ark during the Great Flood, how big would the ark have been by todays standards? What did he feed the animals during those 40 days and 40 nights?

Answer 1

That's scientifically not possible to have all the animals in more or less 1000 sq feet..This is a myth. The Holy Quran gives the correct description of prophet Noah.

The scientists now say that the earth was never fully covered with water. So the earth was not totally submerged

Answer 2

To carry that many animals, the ark would have had to have been larger than several aircraft carriers...and there is a maximum size that wooden structures can reach. The Spanish Galeon was about as big as a wooden vessel could get without snapping un half under its own mass.

The more you look at the tale of the ark, the more you have to invoke magic to make the tale work. Simply put: It's a fairy tale. A myth. No ark, no noah, no object on a mountain in Turkey (It's a rock formation, as many expeditions have discovered since it was detected. The tale refuses to die.)

Answer 3

Genesis 6:15 And this is the fashion which thou shalt make it of: The length of the ark shall be three hundred cubits, the breadth of it fifty cubits, and the height of it thirty cubits.
cubits

16 A window shalt thou make to the ark, and in a cubit shalt thou finish it above; and the door of the ark shalt thou set in the side thereof; with lower, second, and third stories shalt thou make it.

Defination of cubit-Prolonged from H517; properly a mother (that is, unit) of measure, or the forearm (below the elbow), that is, a cubit; also a door base (as a bond of the entrance): - cubit, + hundred [by exchange for H3967], measure, post.

Answer 4

that was 2 of every unclean and 7 of every clean, and it was more like 18 months, not just the 40 days of rain. The dimensions were 300 cubits X 50 cubits X 30 cubits. That would be 450 ft. x 75 ft x 45 ft.
300 x ( times) 18 ( inch cubit) / 12 ( inch foot) 300x18=5400/12=450
What did he feed them? Probably hay. All of Gods animals were vegetarian at the time, and did not become meat eaters until after the flood.

Answer 5

Two football fields long, the standard measurement on all USA science programs.

They say it's on top of Mount Ararat in Turkey, but the Turks won't let anyone up there to study it.

Answer 7

Noah’s deluge. To understand you have to start with Gen.6:1.
Gen.6:1 And it came to pass, when men began to multiply on the face of the earth, and daughters were born unto them,
The word “men” is Heb. (ha-adham) means “the man Adam” or his progeny. The word “them” is referring to Adam and Eve. The scripture is talking about Adam and Eve’s clan and not mankind. Mankind a subject for another time.
Gen.6:2 That the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they were fair; and they took them wives of all which they chose.
The term “sons of God” means angels or fallen angels. The word “men” again means Adam and Eve’s progeny or clan. Satan was trying to corrupt God’s plan. That is, from umbilical cord to umbilical cord would come Christ. This is why Eve is called “the mother of all living”.
Gen.6:9 These are the generations of Noah: Noah was a just man and perfect in his generations, and Noah walked with God.
The word “perfect” Heb. (tamin) means “without blemish as to breed or pedigree”.
Gen.6:17 And, behold, I, even I, do bring a flood of waters upon the earth, to destroy all flesh, wherein is the breath of life, from under heaven; and every thing that is in the earth shall die.
The word “earth” Heb. (erets) means “land”, not the whole earth. Besides God says, “to destroy all flesh” in Adam’s clan.
Gen.7:24 And the waters prevailed upon the earth an hundred and fifty days.
Gen.8:11 And the dove came in to him in the evening; and, lo, in her mouth was an olive leaf pluckt off: so Noah knew that the waters were abated from off the earth.
If the entire globe had been under water 150 days, where did this olive leaf (pluckt off) come from.
Gen 9:11 And I will establish my covenant with you; neither shall all flesh be cut off any more by the waters of a flood; neither shall there any more be a flood to destroy the earth.
Remember what God said in Gen.6:17, “to destroy all flesh”. Here God makes a covenant with Noah and his sons. Neither shall all flesh be cut off any more. Neither shall there any more be a flood to destroy the earth. Two floods. One for flesh, Noah’s deluge. One to destroy the earth back in Gen.1:2. The global flood is a subject for another time.
Some consider the plateau of Pamir to be the original Eden. This probably was the homeland of Adam's descendants up until the time of the Flood. Today it’s known as the Tarim Basin or Eastern Turkestan. This region is surrounded by a ridge of very high mountains forming a gigantic basin in the midst of them. It measures 1,000 miles long and is about 350 miles wide.
Ussher’s Chronology says 2348 B.C., Davidson says November 2345 B.C. to November 2344 B.C. for Noah’s deluge.
Records of the Sumerians in Mesopotamia., their King Lists date to about 3350 B.C., and show an ongoing civilization well through the period of the flood. Egypt felt nothing of the deluge, they had an uninterrupted succession of Dynasties. China's civilization during the Yao Dynasty (between 2400 B.C. – 2200 B.C.) with no record of a cataclysmic interruption.
So Noah’s deluge was a local flood. But there was a global flood in Gen.1:2. Study II Pet.3:5-7, Jer.4:23-27.
Psa.104:6 Thou coveredst it with the deep as with a garment: the waters stood above the mountains. Psa.104:7 At thy rebuke they fled; at the voice of thy thunder they hasted away.
Gen 1:6 And God said, Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters.

Answer 8

the is no was in Noah's Ark.

Answer 9

I would guess really big, but not too big, kinda in the middle. He could fit 2 of each, but big animals like dinosaurs were SOL.

Answer 10

It's in the Bible, but it's in Cubits, not sure how you convert that to Metric or American.
