Am i still a christian if i dont believe in stories such as Noah's Ark, where 2 of every animal got on a boat. You can look what happened in the past by the way the earth is formed and you can tell nothing to that extreme happened so long ago.

Moose, if you believe Jesus is Savior you are still a Christian. Many people believe that the stories in the Old Testament are meant to be representational or symbolic.

Well, what is a Christian? A Christian is someone who follows the teachings of Christ. Did Christ teach about Noah? Yes He did-Matt 24:37.
So therefore if you do not believe in Noahs Ark you are falling away from Christ's teaching's and therefore falling away from Chritianity!

Well I would say no, you have never been a Christian. To be a christian you must believe in and accept what the Bible says about Jesus. The Bible calls Jesus the "Word of God", and the Bible calls itself the "Word of God". So- to say you are a believer but you really don't believe would make you a liar, not a Christian. Bottom line-if you are not deliberately lying, then you are one mixed up person.

Yes - though some Christians very attached to such ideas will disagree.

absolutely no, because if you are a christian you have to believe for what happen in the past that's why it's impossible to happen but that's the reality and need to accept, too much people die because they don't believe for Noah said,so don't lost your faith.

This questioner gives no evidence of being a Christian, such as would be supplied by a statement such as "I believe in Jesus and try to follow his teachings".
In any event, the only important opinion regarding the acceptability of one's worship comes from heaven, not Yahoo Answers. Jehovah's Witnesses preach a message of "good news", and leave all judging for Jehovah and Jesus to perform "on the last day".
(Acts 10:36,42) Declare to them the good news of peace through Jesus Christ: this One is Lord of all others. ...this is the One decreed by God to be judge of the living and the dead
(John 11:23-25) Jesus said to her: “Your brother will rise.” 24 Martha said to him: “I know he will rise in the resurrection on the last day.” 25 Jesus said to her: “I am the resurrection and the life.
(John 12:48-49) The word that I [Jesus] have spoken is what will judge [a person] in the last day; 49 because I have not spoken out of my own impulse, but the Father himself who sent me has given me a commandment
(John 8:16) if I do judge, my judgment is truthful, because I am not alone, but the Father who sent me is with me
(Matthew 12:36) They will render an account concerning it on Judgment Day
(John 5:22,27-30) [The Father] has committed all the judging to the Son... 27 And he has given him authority to do judging, because Son of man he is. 28 Do not marvel at this, because the hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice 29 and come out... I judge; and the judgment that I render is righteous, because I seek, not my own will, but the will of him that sent me.
(Acts 17:30-31) God has overlooked the times of such ignorance, yet now he is telling mankind that they should all everywhere repent. 31 Because he has set a day in which he purposes to judge the inhabited earth in righteousness by a man [Jesus] whom he has appointed

It wasnt 2 of every animal. It was 7 each of the clean and 2 of every unclean.

Are you baptized? A christian is a follower of christ. If you don't believe in his word, I don't know what you are. BELIEVE in the Lord Jesus Christ and though shall be saved.

No, but you're on your way to forever removing the shackles on your rationality and becoming a good atheist. Keep it up.
