Noah's wife, and his sons and their wives were also on the ark. They would have had children (bearing in mind that the lifespans were longer then), grandchildren and so on... Studies have been done that show it is quite possible to have the population we have in the world today in the time since Noah lived.
Answer 2
Let's be mathematical. Say for instance a generation were to double the population, so that 2 parents had 4 children. If there's a generation every 20 years, that would give time for 200 generations in 4000 years. The current world population is some 7 billion. 2 to the 33rd power is well over 8 billion, so he would really have needed only 33 of the potentially 200 generations of his descendants doubling the population; so it's certainly feasible. .
No, that is not the story. Supposedly Noah's Ark came to rest (they believe on the side of a mountain). The animal pairs disembarked and began families to repopulate the earth.
Genesis ch.6-9 1) God spoke to him and acknowledged his righteousness2) God preserved Noah and his family during the Flood 3) God promised to repopulate the Earth through Noah's sons and daughters-in-law 4) God was pleased with the burnt-offering that Noah offered up
In the Biblical story of Noah's Ark, the last animal to enter the ark is not specifically mentioned. It is stated that two of every kind of animal, male and female, were brought onto the ark, along with Noah and his family. The animals entered the ark in pairs, and after a period of 40 days and 40 nights of rain, the ark finally came to rest on the mountains of Ararat. After the flood waters receded, Noah and his family released the animals back into the world to repopulate the earth.
The family of Deucalion and Pyrrha survived Zeus' anger during the great flood sent to punish humanity for its wickedness. According to Greek mythology, they were the only survivors after building an ark, similar to the biblical Noah. Zeus spared them because of their piety and righteousness, allowing them to repopulate the earth after the floodwaters receded.
God spared (not speared) Noah and his family as they were the only people who still remembered/believed in him while the rest of the population of the earth had turned to wicked and deceitful ways. God almost destroyed the whole earth but because of Noah and his love for him God decided just to begin again with his family.
The first covenant is the Rainbow Covenant (Genisis 9) in which God commands the people and animals of Noah's Ark to repopulate the earth, and promises that he will never again flood the earth; leaving the rainbow as a sign of his promise.
It is unclear who will repopulate the new earth as that is largely a topic of religious or speculative interpretation. In various beliefs, it is often thought that either the chosen few or the righteous will populate a new earth following an apocalyptic event.
One thought:Cain's family all died in the flood.And everyone on earth are Seth's descendants, because Noah was a descendant of Seth(1Chronicles 1:1-4) and all humans on earth came from Noah's sons, Shem, Ham and Japheth.
Noah is famous in the bible, because he and his family escaped the floods .
The Lord wanted to repopulate the earth after the flood and to do this you need a male and a female of each animal.
After Noah and his family left the ark, Noah built an alter where he offered burnt offerings to God. Then he and his family did as God told them ~ to " be fruitful and multiply; spread out over the earth and multiply on it." (Gen 8:7 HSBC). Noah was the first man to build a vinyard before he died at the ripe old age of 950. (Noah's life is described in the Bible in the book of Genesis, chapters 5-9.)
That would mean they all descended from Noah.
