AnswerIf Noah's Ark ever existed and has survived the depredations of time, people could look for and find it. The faithful could then come to see it, knowing it to be evidence of biblical accuracy after all. But scholars say that the story of Noah's Ark is really a reworking of a somewhat similar story in the Epic of Gilgamesh.

The rainbow would, from that point on, convey that lesson.The worldwide Flood was a vast historical lesson which God chooses not to repeat. He attached a covenant (Genesis ch.9) to this decision, to teach us that the lack of another worldwide flood is deliberate on His part, and not just due to natural causes. And because of Noah's righteousness (Genesis 6:9), God spoke this covenant to him, instead of waiting and revealing it to some later deserving person.See also:More about the FloodThe covenants of Noah and Abraham
