False, obviously. It's not possible to repopulate a whole species of any animal from just one mating pair.

False.
The story is a myth based on other flood fables told by various ethnic groups who populated the Middle East at the time of Moses.
By the days of Noah there were not enough people on the earth to require a worldwide flood.
The flood was only a local flood and not worldwide.
There is not enough water or extra water to cover the entire earth.
Noah and his family could not have traveled to all lands and caught all those animals.
The animals could not have all migrated to the Ark because of natural barriers like high mountains, rivers, and seas.
The Ark was not big enough to hold all those animals and carry enough food for a year.
The animals would be out of control in the Ark during the rough weather.
The Ark could not have carried enough fresh water for a year.
Saltwater fish could not have survived in fresh or less salty water.
There wouldn't be enough oxygen for them at the high altitude at the peak of the flood.
The Ark had no rudder or sails.
...and the fact that God is incapable of killing innocent children.
Or is he?
So. Convinced yet? These are observations that could be made by anyone with a shred of critical thought. I find it embarrassing that people still advocate the Noah's Ark myth as historical fact.

It's true...so much evidence has been revealed through the flood...such as the Grand Canyon which has been formed from the flood...you see on the grand canyon there were no erosion marks at all...it was made by the flood...which it took less than an hour to make the canyon...also for the fact Edmund Hilary, a reseacher, found petrified clams and seashells on the 26,000th foot on mt everest...how would clams and seashells get up their??..clams dont climb mountains very good...so there is only one way..rising waters...the flood...
The flood caused many events here is what is said...happened
first of all the bible says Psalm 136:6 "to him that stretched out the earth above the waters...." it just shows that there was water under earth
When everything was locked up in the ark...it started to rain 40 days and nights...but during that time...A big chunk of -300 degree ice from the solar system hit the earth...as it hit it..it shattered because of the atmosphere...the ice chunks hit the planets making craters...making the ice rings on planets..(thats why there is no evidence of what made the craters on the planets...the ice hit it and evaporated...and the magnetic forces of the other planets made the ice form around it...)
then pieces of the ice came around the earth and the earth's magnetic force absorbed the ice unto what you call now....the north and south pole (which are magnetic fields of the earth as you know)...it snowed a -300 degree snow...the suddent cold touching the earth shocked the surface of the earth...causing the water UNDER the earth to open and spout...the water turned to ice...froze the many animals that were trying to escape....then came upon what was known as the ice age....
and many researchers today have found leaves, other animals, bison, mammoths...alot of things under the snow of the north pole and south pole....

A very nice story but realistically IF it is true. God would have to have given Noah a lot of advance notice of the destruction. To build an ark big enough to house all of the animals and we must be talking huge here! How many Gopher trees did he have to find and cut down to build this enormous thing? Would have needed tons of it plus there's the building time, that must have taken a fairly long time. Then after all that he's still got to go off and find two of each animal. Bearing in mind that animals are native to different countries, he must have had to travel thousands of miles to bring back different species to put in the ark. Penguins - that's a bit of a trek there! With the amount of time taken to do all this, people must have noticed what he was up to, building a massive boat and then filling it with animals gradually. Someone surely would have clicked on that something was going to happen, Noah's actions would appear a 'little' suspicious!
Sorry to the believers but common sense must prevail here.

What amazes me most is that anybody,and I mean fvcking anybody,takes the story of noahs ark seriously. And when you look up the things that supposedly intelligent Christians say to support it it boggles the mind,between the ones who speculate that he took younger smaller animals so he would need less space and food,to the ones who flat out make up scientific ideas to explain why their was no rainbows before the flood. Google noahs ark and read some of it for awhile,two things will happen if you're a personm with a brain,you will at times laugh your butt off, and at other times want to pull your hair out to use the pain to remove the stupidity that has been injected into your brain by the incoherant ramblings of brainwashed brain dead Christians who will say anything to support a fairy tale. And that there are Christians out there who actually read this stuff and sit there like" oh now it makes sense" when some idiot tells them some of these outlandish ideas,it boggles the mind that they can be that brain dead.
It didn't happen,at best it's the story of a regional flood with a few villages gathering their people and flocks to other areas which was blown up into this world wide flood after hundreds of years of oral retelling. Most likely it's total fantasy.Either way it is the absolute proof of stupidity to believe it as an actual,factual accurate event. Anyone stupid enough to believe the story of Noahs Ark shouldn't be allowed to raise children,it's putting them in the hands of obviously insane people,hell I don't think anyone who believes noahs ark should be trusted with a fishing license.

Ok, false, as none of it makes any sense. First of all there is the issue of space, you can't find all of these animals on one boat, also what about animals indigineous to Australia, South America and so on. Then there is the question about the human race, if all life stemmed from such a small group of people that would mess up the gene pool.
Also many creatures do not mate in a pair, or even small group, many insects need a queen or something similar. Then there is the question of food and waste, and of course, the time it would take to gather this and all the animals together.
Where did this water go to? Where did it come from? Unless you're willing to say God sent the water to Earth and then took it away back to Heaven that is a problem. There are many, many more problems with this story but there is not room to write them all here.
Basically it didn't happen.

True, because Jesus himself used the story as part of his teaching.
(Matthew 24:36-39) “Concerning that day and hour nobody knows, neither the angels of the heavens nor the Son, but only the Father. 37 For just as the days of Noah were, so the presence of the Son of man will be. 38 For as they were in those days before the flood, eating and drinking, men marrying and women being given in marriage, until the day that Noah entered into the ark; 39 and they took no note until the flood came and swept them all away, so the presence of the Son of man will be.

I've just read the answers of some people who say it's true and seem to really believe there is some real evidence of it. Are they retarded? There are billions of animals on the planet, the plants they would all die as well the sea level would have to have risen thousands of feet to cover everywhere. Where did the water go? The animals and plants are hundreds of thousands of miles apart. How would he collect them? If the entire planet had been under water don't you think there would be more evidence? How anyone can even entertain this idea as true means there is something wrong with there ability to reason.

It's funny that someone gave the example of the Grand Canyon as evidence of the flood. Have a look at a picture of the wall of the canyon - you'll see it contains layer after layer of rock. Each rock had to be laid down individually over millions of years. There's no way a single year-long flood could lay down all those separate layers.

FALSE, There are billions of different species of insect and animals on this earth . NO MAN could build anything that large to carry 2 of each.,plus food and water to sustain them .It would have to be huge.No remnants of an ark that big was ever found.With only Noah and his wife on board who would separate the predators from the prey ,Who would Feed them all ,mind you BILLIONS. Try counting to a billion and see how long it takes .
Who would clean up the waste ?
Now everyone should realize that the bible is only a story of fiction and fantasy,

False, it was based on a big flood in the black sea area a 1,000 years previous, as for all the animals, ask yourself who went to get the penguins from Antarctica , Frosty the Snowman
