"The story of Noah's ark is a myth - i.e., a story told to illustrate the author's understanding of the nature of God and/or human nature. It's not a description of a historical event."
Maybe that's your BELIEF / OPINION but, you shouldn't post it here as a fact.
MY PERSONAL OPINION: I believe it was written as an Historical Event. You do not KNOW "for a fact" if the words of The Bible WERE or WERE NOT an Historical Event.
I for one choose to BELIEVE in the Bible and it's writings... (And NO.. I don't ask you too believe in them) I don't force my theological BELIEFS on others and, I respect other beliefs/non-beliefs. But I do not want them forced on me either.
However, I do have a problem with (and take issue with anyone) posting their BELIEFS/OPINIONS like they are facts.
What you have posted is YOUR OPINION... SAY SO... (As not to imply you are stating information based on facts) The Bible has never been disproved to be an Historical Record.
Is the Bible an historical record? Again my opinion is that it is in fact an Historical record of Events of that time. So in MY OPINION: The story/description of NOAH and the Ark IS NOT A MYTH (as you have stated here)
People should read The Bible, and it should be personally interpreted by each individual, and they make their own determination as to it's Validity/TRUTH...
Respectfully, Let's just agree to disagree on the answer to the Question posted...
It was built on land.
Probably there were no sails on Noah's ark because the ark was built solely for withstanding the world flood, not for going in a certain direction.
anytime you think is!:)
There were two arks , Noahs ark and the ark of the covenant.The ark of the covenant was to carry the ten commandments. Today, the ark is a cabinet in synagogues, normally at the front of the sanctuary, where the Torahs are kept.
noah. like Noahs Ark!
Yes, it did :)
No
The bible says that there was a raven and dove in the Ark.
Yes, there were two of every animal on the ark. Including tigers.
Khufu was a real person that built the great pyramid and the biggest ark on the planet, Noahs ark is simply a copy of that. They have no artifacts. D
The eight of Noahs family escaped the flood the rest of mankind died.
