When God asks you to do something, He will provide for you. Like the food during the flood. And imagine He gave manna for people to eat for 40 years of the wandering in the desert when Moses did not ask directions ( typical man ) : )

Where do you get the idea that Noah was living in a desert? Where in the Bible do you find this?
There was plenty of wood in the area in Noah's time. It was also to have pitch (tar) within and without to waterproof it. The barge was huge. About 450' long, 75' wide, 45' high, three levels. Total cubic feet equal to almost 600 railroad boxcars. This took many years to complete.
The average size land animal is about the size of a sheep. Yes there are a few large ones but there are many small ones as well. the animals were likely young in order to save space as well as live longer after the flood to have more time to repopulate the earth. Also younger animals require less food. the darkness inside and the wave action likely induced hibernation. The many thousands of species would not be a problem either. Two of every kind (not two of every species) were put on-board. From one kind can come several species. This is not Darwinian evolution, but variation within a kind. There are over 200 breeds of dogs, but one common ancestor.

God must have provided the wood. Anyways the Bible doesn't say that they lived in the desert. Read Genesis from Chapter 3 to Chapter 6. Although God put Adam and Eve out of the garden it doesn't say that they were thrown out in the desert.

Who told you Noah lived in a desert?...and it took him over 100 years to build it.. some of that time was hauling in the wood... but htere were plenty of trees aroud in those days... as there were even latter. there were many large areas of forest in the north of Israel and what is now Lebanon and even in what is now Syria... untill the Egyptions had them cut down to make temples and boats out of.

Home Depot. He got the mexicans to build it for him cheap. They were standing around across the street. No. Actually they stored the lumber in the Pyrimids. They really just wrote some more chapters in the fairy tale book to cover it and make sense to ancient dumb people that passed it on to dumber generations like this one.

What a bunch of ding dongs trying to sound smart.
Noah didn't live in the desert, true, but did they tell where he did live? In what we now call Turkey, which has very tall cypress and cedar trees.
Not that the story is true, mind you...;-)

Noah didn't live in a desert. where did you get that idea? At the time of Noah, the whole Nile delta was a lush, fertile valley. Its only in thepast few hundred years that it has turned into a desert, mostly by mismanagement by the muslim hords who invaded it and knew nothing about agriculture.

Love it how Christians say Noah put different "kinds" (not species) of animals on his boat and somehow without evolution new species came from these "kinds", these people obviously failed biology as the Biblical bird "kind" includes bats.

It wasn't a desert then. It has been deforested to build arks, homes, and cooking fires over the past several thousand years.
