It was amateurs that built the ark it was professionals that built that built the Titanic?

Answer 1

"The ark was built by amateurs, but professionals built the Titanic" is a popular saying meaning that the accepted wisdom isn't always accurate. The Biblical Noah built an ark and saved humanity from a great flood; the Titanic sank on its maiden voyage in 1912 to New York City.

The quotation varies and sometimes mentions the ark first, or the Titanic first, or the amateurs first, or the professionals first. Variations include:

. The ark was built by amateurs, but the Titanic was built by professionals.

. The Titanic was built by professionals, but the ark was built by amateurs.

. Amateurs built the ark. Professionals built the Titanic.

. Professionals built the Titanic. Amateurs built the ark.

Numbers are sometimes added for emphasis: "A lone amateur built the ark. A team of professionals built the Titanic."

The word "but" is often omitted, creating two sentences. "Ark" is often capitalized.

The quotation is often listed as "anonymous" or "author unknown." A "Frank Pepper" is sometimes given as the author, but it's never explained who this person is, or when he said it.

The earliest citations come from non-American sources. The Globe and Mail (Canada) has the phrase from 1979, from Globe and Mail resident wit Richard J. Needham (1912-1996). A 1981 source credits the saying to "a disgruntled British comedian." There are two 1984 citations from England and a 1985 citation from Ireland (attributed to "John Parker"). Richard Needham (born in 1942) used the phrase in 1984 and in his memoir, Battling for Peace: Northern Ireland's Longest-Serving British Minister (1999), but there is no reason to suspect that this Richard Needham used the saying before Canada's Richard J. Needham's 1979 reference.

Wikipedia: RMS Titanic

The RMS Titanic was an Olympic-class passenger liner owned by British shipping company White Star Line and built at the Harland and Wolff shipyard in Belfast, United Kingdom. For her time, she was the largest passenger steamship in the world.

On the night of 14 April 1912, during the ship's maiden voyage, Titanic hit an iceberg and sank two hours and forty minutes later, early on 15 April 1912. The sinking resulted in the deaths of 1,517 people, making it one of the most deadly peacetime maritime disasters in history. The high casualty rate was due in part to the fact that, although complying with the regulations of the time, the ship did not carry enough lifeboats for everyone aboard. The ship had a total lifeboat capacity of 1,178 people, although her capacity was 3,547. A disproportionate number of men died due to the women-and-children-first protocol that was followed.

The Titanic used some of the most advanced technology available at the time and was, after the sinking, popularly believed to have been described as "unsinkable". It was a great shock to many that, despite the extensive safety features and experienced crew, the Titanic sank. The frenzy on the part of the media about Titanic's famous victims, the legends about the sinking, the resulting changes to maritime law, and the discovery of the wreck have contributed to the continuing interest in, and notoriety of, the Titanic.

Wikipedia: Noah's Ark

Noah's Ark (Hebrew: תיבת נח, Tevat Noach) according to chapters 6-9 of the Book of Genesis was a large vessel built by Noah, at God's command, that saved Noah, his family, and a representation of the world's animals from a great flood.

The Genesis narrative tells how God, grieved by the corruption of the Earth, decided to destroy all life with a flood. However, Noah, a righteous man who "found grace in the eyes of God", was instructed to prepare for this flood by building an ark and to retreat to it with his family and with male and female representatives of various animals. As the flood waters rose, those sheltered inside the Ark survived as the rest of humanity and animal life perished. As the waters reached their height, God "remembered Noah", the waters abated, and dry land reappeared. Noah and the animals left the Ark, Noah offered sacrifice, and God vowed never again to destroy the Earth in this manner.

This narrative has been subject to extensive elaborations in Judaism, Christianity and Islam, ranging from hypothetical solutions to practical problems (e.g. waste disposal and the problem of lighting the interior), through to theological interpretations (e.g. the Ark as the precursor of the Church in offering salvation to mankind). By the 19th century, the discoveries of geologists, archaeologists and biblical scholars had led most scientists and many Christians to abandon a literal interpretation of the Ark story. Nevertheless, Biblical literalists continue to explore the region of the mountains of Ararat, in northeastern Turkey, where the Bible says Noah's Ark came to rest

Answer 1

Amateur or armature? The words Noah did all that God Jehovah told him can be compared to saying the Titanic was built by all that God Jehovah told them, and the captain decided not to listen to God Jehovah. The ship was not handled in the proper ways designed. The fault of not listening to God lies in the captain not in its builders. You might say the captain wanted it to sink by his desire to deliberately prove it unsinkable. Every movie, every research, indicates that jerk might as well have just rammed icebergs from day 1 onward playing ocean billiards with lives. See Noah saved lives, he cared, while the Titanic captain was saying let's prove God can't kill us.

The question presumes that Noah was not Galileo nor Newton nor Einstein. IT presumes the religious figure is the Pope instead of Galileo and Newton who did believe The Bible and science in that Bible. People who think there was only one Flood during man, and not many before Adam, then do not note that Noah had the same many layers up in high mountains filled with fish fossils for him to realize mountains were under water. Chinese and Hindu myth says a dead fish told Noah the Flood was coming. Fossils are dead fish. Dead fish told our own scientists to clean up Lake Erie. Fish ghosts? The very first lie in the Bible is when a serpent is telling Eve (perhaps by eating a crab apple that other animals wont eat), it says can you not eat of any trees anywhere in the garden (or in the world). The point of that lie is to imply something that wasnt said. And that is what is in this question. It implies Noah was an amateur. What skill cannot be perfected in 600 years? Einstein didnt have that many years. When Shem was 548 and experience 448 years of tectonics after the Flood, the prediction of Sodom's deepest faultline in all continents was predicted to explode upon sunrise and full moon set (1918bc July 18). It happened. Those who died were laughing when warned.

Answer 2

Assuming that the Noah's Ark story is historical, which it is not, there would still be a number of different factors that lead to the Titanic sinking. Most importantly, the Titanic was destroyed through impact with an iceberg. Noah's Ark would have been in the Middle East where there are no icebergs. Second, just because something is made by professionals does not mean that it will be a success or if something is made by an amateur means that it will be a failure; it only increases the odds of those things. Third, it would have been impossible for Noah to run aground since the amount of water in the Great Flood was so much that all of the mountains were completely covered. The Titanic did not have such luxury. Fourth, the Titanic had a route that it was supposed to follow which brought it in treacherous areas whereas Noah went wherever the winds carried the boat.
