Where is the proof of Noah's Ark? and God for that matter?

Answer 1

People have been looking for that for 2000 years or more. Nothing has been found.

Geological and archeological evidence shows there WAS a big flood in the middle east, south of the Black Sea, some time between human installation and the beginning of recorded history, but nothing as world destroying as described in the bible.

Answer 2

Most people believe things if there is proof of the matter, for someone to just make a statement without doing all the research that they can do is the normal thing that people do because they are limited in the resource's they have or they don't look in the right places, Religion is the only thing that is usually accepted without proof that it ever occured.

People were persecuted in ancient times for not following the religion of there leadership, so in ancient times you grew up knowing that not being a believer of what your culture believed in would result in your death, that more or less allowed the truth of things to be manipulated by the leadership and what ever they wanted the story to be it was, regardless of the truth.

The truth is so powerful that it is not given freely, if you know the truth of the matter that can change things from the way they are and have been for so long, your knowledge of the truth can make you rich or it can end your life from those that also know it, and are willing to do what it takes to keep it from others.

If you think you know the story about anything or you have been told the whole story you only know the side of it that was given to you in the language and context that they wanted to give to you, the original language and context of the bible has been translated many times by a conquering nation or people and much was lost in translation and meaning.

All history is from the perspective of the people and leaders that are controlling things, and what they deemed important is the only information that you and other people will normally get unless you speak other languages and you get information from the other half or the other side of people that have been the opposition and were conquering in conflict.

Check out the first link and the one below it and make a judgement of the information for yourself, I don't say believe what I say, you look at the information and make of it what you want, the peoples of the world scope of knowledge has been confined to just this world that's what people have been told all there is and nothing else.

If you want to stay in control that's how you control things, when you look outside of this world for answers things will make more sense that do not add up logically, there's over 400 billion stars that's 9 zero's after 400 and over 100 billion solar systems in the universe why would there be only life and intelligence in only one place?

Answer 3

theres no real proof - or else everyone would probably be converted to Christianity.

and about Noahs Ark, many Christians actually take the non-literal outlok on the Bible - meaning that the stories of the Bible are meant to be taken as a moral, not literally.

but also many Christians believed it did actually happen, but still, no one has proof.

besides, wheres the proof that Noahs Ark didn't occur?

Answer 4

There was a programme on t.v. disputing the existence of Noah's Ark. I can't remember all the details but they found that there had not been a flood in the area Noah's Ark was supposed to be and other evidence. This is just another one of the Bible's stories - written by man not God, and most of it not true.

Answer 5

No proof at all anywhere about Noah's ark,no proof except a book
by a man, that god exists and I'm not living my life according to
some man who wrote a book a while back.

Answer 6

A part of Noahs Ark is in Iraq

Answer 7

Noah's Ark??? Proof?? On this planet we know that most species of animals are endangered when their numbers reach a few thousand at best. So Noah put 2 of each on a boat and had zero mortality rate. And people actually buy this.

Answer 8

There might be archeological proof for Noah's Ark. But there is no proof that God exists.

Answer 9

Here is part of the introduction to a book I am currently writing called "The Magnet", it gives my view of why people started to believe.
"When faith and religion were first formed, our understanding of the universe was extremely limited. Man could see the stars, and the rising and setting of the sun and moon, he could see the effects of stormy seas, earthquakes and volcanoes, but he could not see how and why these things happened. He knew he needed food, and for that he needed rain and sun in the right proportions to produce crops, but he did not understand weather systems. He knew he did not want to die, but didn’t really know what death was. Life was full of things beyond his control, dictated by unknown variables. The unknown provokes fear, and fear of the unknown would dominate the mindset of any conscious being.
Without the correct tools of observation most of what we can now see of the universe both immense and miniscule, is not observable, and therefore would not exist in the consciousness of primitives, and as our children are simple minded in comparison to educated and rationalised adults, these early men would also be of limited intellect.
We today tell stories to our children to relieve the suffering caused by fear, such stories are almost always simplified versions of the truth, or complete fantasy designed to be easily understood by the simpler minds of children. It is evident even to the most primitive mind that only knowledge can relieve fear of the unknown, and so ideas formed that soothed the mind, and as these ideas permeated into the minds of successive generations these constructs became facts, knowledge of what was once the unknown.
If this knowledge was questioned in any way without providing a more certain set of knowledge, communities’ whole view of reality would be destroyed and fear would return, in the modern world we avoid telling children the truth about Father Christmas for similar reasons. And so, faith went unquestioned and developed to explain all observable phenomena in what could be called the first unified field theory - the concept of a single omnipotent god."

I won't post the rest here as it's quite lengthy, but it goes into why these beliefs are still around and asks- in light of new knowledge, if all traces of religion were wiped from our memories, would the idea of a god even be raised when formulating our new view of the universe?

Answer 10

The flood story is a bit of pious fiction. Most religions originating in the Middle East have a similar story.

There were some massive floods in the region about 10,000 years ago. Memories of these passed into folklore and stories about the struggle between good and evil were superimposed.

Proving or disproving God is more difficult. God is not about proof, he is about faith. If you have faith, no proof is necessary. If you have no faith, no proof is sufficient.
