Would you believe it?

Question

I was reading an article about noahs ark, and would you believe that when it was finished, the ark was about the same size as the titanic. It had 3 decks, living quarters, and enough food for 300 days.Plus 2000 barrels of water.

Answer 1

Yea, I'd believe it if there was physical evidence.
The pyramids are unbelievable in their size and advanced stature, too, but it's proven that man was capable of building them.
So, why not?

Answer 2

Genesis 6:15 in the Bible tells us the Ark's dimensions were at least 135 meters long (300 cubits), 22.5 meters wide (50 cubits), and 13.5 meters high (30 cubits). That's 450 feet long, 75 feet wide, and 45 feet high! It could have been larger because several larger-sized cubits were used. But the 45-centimeter (18-inch) cubit is long enough to show the enormous size of the Ark.

(A cubit was the length of a man's arm from fingertips to elbow.)

Higher than a 3-story building!
Noah's Ark was three stories high (Genesis 6:16). Its total deck area was equivalent to the area of about 20 standard college basketball courts or 36 lawn tennis courts. The world had to wait until AD 1884 before the Ark's size was exceeded, when the Italian liner Eturia was built.

The rectangular dimensions of the Ark show an advanced design in ship-building. Its length of six times its width and 10 times its height would have made it amazingly stable on the ocean. Remember it was made more for floating than sailing, because it wasn't headed anywhere. The famous rock formation near Mount Ararat that some think is Noah's Ark is almost certainly not! The Ark was made to withstand a turbulent ocean voyage, not to be at a certain place at a certain time.

Interestingly, British civil and mechanical engineer Isambard Kingdom Brunel built a steamship (the Great Britain) in 1843 that had almost the same proportions as the Ark, although it was smaller. This was regarded as a remarkable feat of Victorian and maritime engineering. The Great Britain was the first large vessel to be propelled by a screw propeller.

Answer 3

Not correct. To facilitate all the vulnerable animals and food would require 28 aircraft carriers.The Amazon alone would need 10 such ships. We hugely underestimate the vast variety of wildlife this planet contains.

Answer 4

Where's the evidence?- is it in an old ark museum then? or did somebody make it all up to sell an article?

Answer 5

Yes, I believe it. With God, all things are possible.
Noah's faith gave him the ability to build the ark.
Mat 17:20 He replied, "Because you have so little faith, I tell you the truth, if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, "Move from here to there" and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you.

Answer 6

I think that's great that you're that interested in the bible to be reading something about the ark.

Answer 7

With all those animals it must have smelled terribly. Did they bring extra animals along for the carnivores to eat? The meat would have rotted. Did they bring cockroaches? Because it seems that they have survived the longest so far.

Answer 8

I've never been there so I can't really say, but... I've never heard of that part of the world being very heavily wooded. Where did they get enough trees? Or is that supposed to be where all the trees went?

Answer 9

I once saw a cow climbing a tree.
Oh ye of little faith, may the lord drop a clog on you

Answer 10

Why wouldn't I believe it? Do you know how big the trees were back then? They make today's sequoias look like tooth picks.
