A question about noah's ark?

Question

So i'd like to know how big this boat was, were they put on the poop, did they have to were gas masks to stop ammonia poisning, since he brought 2 of each animal- what if one died, were did he store the millions of pounds of food & water and was it just him & his wife looking after thousands of animals?

Belgrade.
If god took care of the animals & kept them alive then why did he need the ark?

Answer 1

Exempt of logic, reason, or any concept of reality, just like most other stories in the Christian religion.

Answer 2

We can only tell you what the scriptures states. Gopher wood is almost indestructible, very much like the redwoods of California.

The Ark did not look like the boats in Bible stories. The length was 300 cubits (probably cubit is 18 inches). It could be 450 feet long. For instance, the battleship New Mexico was built 624 feet long, 106 1/4 feet wide, and with a mean draught of 29 1/2 feet. By comparison, the ark had practically the same ratio.

As for the stench, the window was a cubic high and went all around the top of the ark., The roof must have overlapped the window quite a bit. Gyms are ventilated this way today. The ark had only one door (Christ is the door of the ark, spiritually speaking).

The ark had 3 to 4 decks. The animals came to Noah, he did not go and get them. Animals in danger do that, i.e., come to man. As for food, during the time before the flood, men and animals were not carnivorous.

Understand, Noah is not making an oceangoing ship to withstand 50 ft waves. All he is building is a place for animal life and man to stay for a period of time, not go through a storm, just riding out the flood.

Yes there is a spiritual message in the account of Noah's Ark but with God nothing is impossible. If you don't want to believe the account, at least consider the spiritual points made.

Answer 3

Genesis 6:15 gives its measurements as 300 cubits long, 50 cubits wide and 30 cubits high. The length of the cubit is based on the length of the human forearm and varies among the various ancient cultures. For instance, the Babylonian cubit was approximately 0.53 metres, the Roman cubit was about 0.44 metres while the Hebrew cubit was about 0.56 metres. Using the Hebrew cubit the ark would have measured 168 metres long, 28 metres wide and 17 metres high. There are two problems with this ark as described: it is both too big and too small at the same time.

* It is too big, because before the invention of steel, the wooden ark of Noah simply could not have been structurally sound and was thus unseaworthy. The longest wooden ship ever built (i.e. historically verified) was the USS Wyoming. This vessel, which was, at 110 meters long, a full 50% shorter than Noah’s ark, was found to be so unstable that it could only be used for short coastal hauls to avoid rough conditions further out in the sea. The huge structural stresses that developed in the USS Wyoming made the ship sag and, well, it leaked. Water thus had to be pumped out continuously to prevent the ship from sinking. Now, here we have Noah’s ark, built with wood, before the invention of steel and hydraulic pumps, undergoing the turbulent conditions of the flood unscathed. It is simply an engineering impossibility.

* It is too small, because there is simply not enough room for all the animals. There are extant today over 4,500 species of mammals, 6,000 species of reptiles, 8,600 species of birds and 3,000 species of amphibians. Each of these have many large members: elephants, camels, rhinoceros, hippopotamasus, giraffes, horses, donkeys, zebras, cattle, bison, tapirs, pigs, tigers, lions, jaguars, panthers, sea lions, walruses, crocodiles, alligators, giant turtles, Komodo dragon, snakes, ostriches, emus, falcons and giant salamanders. There are 23,000 species of fishes, many of which will not be able to survive the flood if not taken up into the ark. Each kilogram of fish require about a cubic meter of water to survive-this is simply to provide enough oxygen and provide space for swimming while sleeping and feeding. The volume of water required for the fishes alone would be larger than the ark.[4] And then there are the little creatures; there are about a million species of insects and 60,000 species of arachnids. How were these species stored in the ark?

Answer 4

When you read the scriptures carefully, you will note that there were SEVEN of each 'clean' animal and two of the 'unclean' animals.
example. 'clean' animals were sheep.
'unclean' were pigs.
The Bible does not list all the particular animals.
The 'odd one out' [ three pairs plus one] was to be used for a sacrifice to God.

Unclean animals were not sacrificed..
God's plan was to repopulate the earth with animals and people.
And there were eight people on the Ark.
Noah and his wife, also his three sons and their wives.
(Isaiah 11:7) And the cow and the bear themselves will feed; together their young ones will lie down. And even the lion will eat straw just like the bull.

(Isaiah 65:25) “The wolf and the lamb themselves will feed as one, and the lion will eat straw just like the bull; and as for the serpent, his food will be dust. They will do no harm nor cause any ruin in all my holy mountain,” Jehovah has said.

This prophecy is definitely future.
As to ammonia from waste, the Bible does not say, but we can be sure that Jehovah God had that problem sorted.
If the Bible does not give a specific answer to any question, it is up to us to use commonsense.
In God's new planned system, we have this example.

Answer 5

You can read about the ark in the Book of Genesis in the Bible. No reference was made as to how the issues of feeding, watering, and cleaning up after the animals was made because it was irrelevant to the context of the story.
There were more than two of some kinds of amimals and besides Noah and his wife, there were his three sons and their wives. A cubit is approximately 18".

Answer 6

The ark was 600 feet long
It doesnt say but i would imaging it got tossed over the edge
Windows i would guess
God kept the animals alive
The food was stored in the ark enough for the 190 days they were in there. It rained 40 days and the flood waters stayed for another 150 days
It was him his wife and there 3 sons and there wifes

Answer 7

there is excellent information regarding these questions at www.answersingenesis.org
And before the immediate "thumbs down" rain, all she is asking are basic questions about the ark. Whether you all think it's a fairy tale or not, this site has the answers she is looking for.


blessings :)

Answer 8

You're a silly one. Have you never heard of the poop deck?

Answer 9

LOL!!!!! this is one of the funniest questions I've seen on here. I just love how they answer in riddles and tell you that your information can be found in the bible. you can't buy this sort of humor anywhere on the planet.

Answer 10

Now you see why that whole thing is considered a fairy tale???

And on top of that...the fact that no trace of the Ark has ever been found.
