Some say the geological record all around the world testifies to the flood at the time of Noah. Catastrophic burial, creatures preserved as fossils, the upheaval of the earth's surface all vindicate the Biblical account. This is also in harmony with the vast quantities of water still present on the earth in varying forms and locations - enough to cover the tops of the mountains of the day.
The Jewish recorded history of the event, which is in the Old Testament in The Bible, is itself a reliable record of the events. Some other cultures have versions of a catastrophic event written at a similar or later time than the Genesis account.
What else can I help you with?
Who are Noah's descendants?
A:If the biblical story of Noah and the great worldwide flood were true, we would all be descendants of Noah - every single one of us. However, scientists dismiss the Flood story as purely mythical, as do many theologians and biblical scholars. On this view, Noah did not really exist and therefore does not have any descendants.
In Noah and the ark did Noah have any siblings?
Noah had his 3 sons and their 3 wives and his wife, but he also had siblings, brothers AND SISTERS (Genesis 5:28-31) , though they are never mentioned by name in the Bible and presumably perished in the flood.
What is it meant by a flood recurrence interval of 50 years?
A flood recurrence interval of 50 years indicates that, on average, a flood of a certain magnitude is expected to occur once every 50 years at a specific location. This does not mean that a flood will occur precisely every 50 years, but rather that there is a 2% chance (1 in 50) of such a flood happening in any given year. This statistical measure helps in understanding flood risks and is often used in floodplain management and planning.
What happened between Cain and Abel and Noah?
Cain was the first born of Adam and Eve. He killed his brother Abel. So, Noah, who was born about 1000 years after, didn't have any business with Cain and Abel. Hope this helps. C.
Is there any verse in the Bible that has to do with animals?

What did god say to noah after the flood?
God said he would never destroy the earth with a flood again, he told no and his decedents that he blessed them.
Did noah have a sister?
The Book of Genesis does not speak of a sister of Noah. Since no sister is listed among those who went onto the Ark, any sister would have died in the Flood. Read literally, even Noah's own grandfather, Methuselah, died at the time of the Flood.
Who are Noah's descendants?
A:If the biblical story of Noah and the great worldwide flood were true, we would all be descendants of Noah - every single one of us. However, scientists dismiss the Flood story as purely mythical, as do many theologians and biblical scholars. On this view, Noah did not really exist and therefore does not have any descendants.
What impact did Noah of Noah's Ark have on society?
Now there is a very strange question. Assuming that the Genesis version of the Flood legend is correct (other civilizations have other versions), then the answers are two: 1) before the Flood: no impact, as nobody believed the flood was coming and they just laughed at Noah. 2) After the flood; No society. Noah and his family were the only survivors. Noah himself, who is described as a 'preacher of righteousness' in 2Peter 2:5, does not appear to have had any successful impact on the ante-deluvian society, as mentioned above. No-one joined him and his family on the ark. Post-flood Noah was the patriarch of a new world and little is recorded about his impact then. What is recorded tells us that God can use fallible people.
What did Noah do while on the ark?
The Bible does not give any indication of what Noah did as an occupation before the flood. It does refer to him as a 'preacher of righteousness', although most would not consider that this was his occupation full-time.
Are there any other interpretations of Noah's Ark such as non Christian views?
There are literally hundreds of flood accounts found in the mythologies of the various people groups dispersed around the world. Even though none of them use the term Noah, there clearly must be a connection back to the historical event of the flood, especially as many of these groups did not interact. In other words, it is not likely that they all independently developed their own 'flood myth' but that they came about as an account based on an actual event. Many of them do have some striking similarities to the Biblical record. All of them are certainly non-Christian views and they existed well before there was any contact with Christian missionaries. The prevailing non-Christian view in the west is of course that Noah never existed, despite abundant evidence consistent with a worldwide flood.
Who are the descendants of Cain today?
I don't think there are any descendants left. The flood came and only Noah and his family was given the gift of life.
What key events linked to the covenant was Noah a part of?
Noah was not a part of any covenant. Perhaps you are thinking of something else.Answer:The above answer is mistaken. The Hebrew word for Covenant is in fact mentioned two times between God and Noah (in Genesis ch.6 and ch.9). However, unlike God's covenant with Abraham, the one with Noah concerned physical matters only: surviving the Flood, and that there will be no more worldwide deluge.
The great flood was described as?
Various descriptions and terms have been used to describe the great flood. It has been called variously, 'the Flood of Noah', 'Noah's Flood', 'The Deluge', a 'Cataclysm', or simply 'The Flood' as distinct from any particular local flood. Interestingly, the Hebrew word 'mabul' also makes this distinction in that it is a word which includes all of the above meanings, as distinct from any local flood, no matter how great and devastating.
What were the words of the covenant in Genesis 9 verse 11?
"And I (God) will establish My covenant with you (Noah); and all flesh shall never again be destroyed by the waters of the flood; nor shall there any more be a flood to destroy the earth."
Where was the story of Noah found?
The Bible is silent on where Noah might have been born. Also, I am not aware of any midrash (non-binding Jewish tradition) that seeks to answer this question. If we look back to the very early pagan traditions on which the story of Noah is sometimes considered to have been based, then those traditions usually place his counterpart somewhere in Mesopotamia.
What is the major literary conflict in the story of Noah and the Flood?
In the account there is of course conflict going on constantly in the background, since the 'world was filled with violence' which was the reason for the sending of the flood. We are not told of any specific conflict between Noah and his fellow earth-dwellers. They possibly thought he was crazy, until it was too late. In a literary sense, the conflict is between God and the sinfulness of man.
