So I was just reading this answer- the question is really irrelivent- and this woman said something to the extent of "so you don't believe in noah's ark either? There's more water than land on the earth so it has to be true." Do all christians think that the amount of water on the earth proves the ark story??

No, not all Christians believe that any flood ever covered the planet. It didn’t happen. I couldn’t happen.
I view the story as an allegory to teach us to put our trust in God, to build a spiritual ark of trust when we see difficult times coming.

No, i don't believe the amount of water on the earth is proof of the Ark. Some Christians believe that the way their preacher interprets the bible is the ONLY representation of the truth. The sad fact is that there are so many Christian sects that make the same claim that it may cause one to ask --- Which one is the truth???
Isn't it also amazing that there was only one Jesus Christ who said the same words and how many different versions of interpretation there are of those words?????????????
It can make it difficult to trust who is actually telling the truth. Personally i belong to a faith that includes independent investigation in seeking truth on a personal level instead of relying on another individuals interpretation of what they believe the truth to be.It has been discovered that there were books taken from the bible because in those books there was information on how each and every one of us can become closer to God without the intercession that clergy members claim they have exclusive right to, and that the church did this because of fear
Their misinterpretation led them to remove this info. If they had realized that their responsibility was to study and understand the scriptures , learn by practice, and then pass that practice on to others, they would have come into stewardship of power beyond their wildest imagination, and that society now would be very different than what it has developed into, and that much of the seperation and strife would be gone.

Before the flood came, it had never rained, The earth was watered by a mist at night, & there was no big oceans, When the flood came God took the vapor of water that surround this earth, & let it after the flood to stay as oceans, Therefore that is why in Revelations, It says that there was no more sea, Because God will during the millennium take all the water that makes the oceans & once again put that barrier around this earth so we can have a perfect climate, That does not mean that we won't still have bodies of water, It means that the great oceans will be gone.

No, I would say most Christians do not feel that way. The fact that the history of Noah is recorded in the bible and the fact that Jesus even mentioned the attitudes of people in Noah's day as being the same in "the last days" or our days. We can see that that is true. Eating, drinking, being married and they took no note then the flood came. People are doing the same today, eating, drinking, marrying and not paying attention to the prophesied events going on right now. That is enough for me to know that it is a true story an historical event.
What would be the purpose of making up such a story?

If the Bible says God caused the waters to rise and all but Noah and his family and the animals in the ark died in the resulting flood, I believe it. God can do anything. We really don't know how much water or land is on this planet. But God does.

No I don't belivev because there's more water than land. But because I know God to not be a liar. and the same thing will happen just in a different form, we believe the Word of God. Scientists think they have found the ark, but if they haven't, it's okay with me, because God has proven Himself to be real in my life, so I know He's all powerful and all knowing, and it could have happen. Is there anything to hard for God?

The Church of Reality is not a religion of science, it is a religion of people. We explore reality from the human perspective. In order to explore reality we need a strong, healthy society where people can live freely and peacefully, and the human race can evolve forward toward a better future. The pursuit of reality is something that is a shared process. It's something we do together as a church, as a community, and as the human race.

Yes, they believe all that the water is frozen at the poles. Well there are some giant ice floes there, but I don't know about enough to bury all land underwater.

It's incredible. Mentalities like that are the reason I've developed a pathological hatred of evangelicals.

Yes I do. The last of Noahs flood is quickly melting away now, helped along with man made pollution. See ice ages, and polar caps.
