A:The story of Noah's Ark is a great children's story, full of imagination and adventure but not too scary. Perhaps it is unfortunate that it provides a religious explanation for the rainbow, as this will create a minor problem in later schooling when children will learn that the laws of physics mean there always was a rainbow and that it has an entirely natural cause.

From a research perspective, I like the story because it has led Ian Wilson to investigate the origins of this story and similar accounts in the Epic of Gilgamesh and elsewhere, and make a persuasive case in Before the Flood that they were based on folk memories of the inundation of the Black Sea around 5400 BCE.

Another Answer:

Because, when read properly and not overlooking key points, it proves God as our Creator is in charge of everything and not man. He controls all the elements and the weather and only He is the judge of all that is seen and unseen. It show the reader that there is a way that seem right to man but in the end only leads to his demise - hence, there must be a better/right way.

Case in point, many people discount Noah being able to take all the animals of the world into this Ark - the size of a WWII Aircraft Carrier. But is this what Scripture says in Genesis 6:17-20? Consider just this for now:

Nowhere in The Bible does it state that Noah had to take on board the Ark representatives of each and every living creature. There were only three basic requirements for the animals to be loaded onto the Ark. They had to be:

  • Air-breathing.
  • Terrestrial (land-dwelling).
  • Of the same biblical kind.

The story of Noah is important as we must remember Noah built the ark in faith as there was no water around it.And the people joked at him.
