Noah's Ark
Noah's Ark is a vessel describes in Genesis chapters 6-9 of the Hebrew Bible. In the story, God instructs a man named Noah to build an ark to providing a save-haven for Noah, his family, and all species of animals. Once Noah and his fellow travelers are aboard the ark, God enacts a massive flood, destroying all other living things on the planet. The inhabitants of the ark go on to repopulate the world after the great flood.

What problem do Isabella and noah have in the story?
Oh, dude, Isabella and Noah? They have like a classic case of miscommunication, you know? Isabella thinks Noah doesn't listen, and Noah thinks Isabella talks too much. It's like a rom-com waiting to happen, but they just need to, like, actually talk to each other.
How do dinosaur fossils give evidence of a world-wide flood?
The Biblical flood would have caused the death of all life on earth, except for those on the arc, which would have resulted in fossils that are now found. Fossils being found in different layers of rocks could have been a result of how they settled as the waters receded.
What evidence is there that there was actually a world flood?
Since the vast majority of scientists would not agree that Noah's Flood as related in the Bible is literally true, the 'scientific position' would be that there is no scientific proof for the event because it did not happen.
However, many people coming usually from either a religious (usually fundamentalist Christian, or sometimes Islamic or Jewish) or alternative history perspective have attempted to prove that the Flood occurred using scientific, or pseudoscientific, means.
The evidence produced in this way is of various types. Some have attempted to find the remains of Noah's ark on or around Mount Ararat as described in the Bible; many have claimed to have discovered the vessel, in various locations, using satellite imagery, exploration, or local knowledge. Although some intriguing shapes have been found, and unconfirmed reports have claimed to have taken samples showing e.g. wood of a great age, generally these discoveries turn out to be natural formations or hoaxes. A quick Google for 'Noah's ark found' will show you many examples of this.
Others have drawn upon the universality of the Flood myth in worldwide cultures as showing that a global Flood must have occurred in antiquity. However, there are many more likely alternative explanations for these similar myths, which would include ancient traditions of localised flooding, rather than global (we do know that flooding was widespread at the end of the last Ice Age around 12,000 years ago); or common origins for some of the stories; the archetypal cultural fear of cataclysmic floods.
The trouble with all of these sorts of arguments, especially if we are to consider them 'scientific', is twofold.
First, most people who contend that the Flood occurred have already concluded that such an event happened, and simply look for evidence which supports their conviction. This is not a scientific approach, which would instead work the opposite way around (i.e. gather evidence, then theorise as to an explanation).
Second, the issue is not simply that the evidence is poor that the Flood did happen; in actual fact, much of what we know about the Earth, its history and its ecosystems shows us that a global Flood as described in the Bible is impossible. The idea of a Flood is incompatible with what we know about, for instance, freshwater vs. saltwater-dwelling animals and environments (a global Flood would not result in what we see of these delicately balanced systems); what we know of the patterns of extinction in the world (i.e. that species have appeared and disappeared throughout the fossil record, with no one event wiping out most of life on Earth); what we know about molecular biology and genetic inheritance (species today do not originate from two or a small number of ancestors within the last few thousand years); and many other similar objections.
For resources which claim to have scientific evidence for Noah's Flood, see for instance Answers In Genesis (www.answersingenesis.org).
For an excellent discussion of the sceptical approach to the Flood, see the TalkOrigins discussion (http:/www.talkorigins.org/faqs/faq-noahs-ark.html).
Noble gases typically do not form covalent bonds because they have a full outer electron shell, making them stable and unreactive. However, under extreme conditions such as high pressure or temperature, noble gases can form covalent compounds with highly reactive elements.
Did dinosaurs exist during or after Noah's time?
This All depends on your personal Scientific views.
An answer if you believe in an old earth would be:
No, the dinosaurs all died about 65 million years ago. So they were long gone by the time of Noah. There's geologic evidence of a great worldwide flood sometime between 4000 B.C.E. and 2800 B.C.E. So Noah most likely lived at some point during that time period. As for evidence there is none really, we can't know.
However if you believe in a young earth, an answer would be:
Yes or no. The Bible says nothing of whether there were (or were not) dinosaurs on the ark. You can imagine that since the dinosaurs were so dangerous, men would group together and go kill them. They might have missed some though. You can conclude that since Noah got two (at least) of EVERY animal, then if there were some dinosaurs still left, Noah got them too. As for evidence, there is none on either party.

Why was Canaan during the time of Noah cursed?
the name Canaan is synonymous to Tagalog word " Kanaan" (commiting sins without boundary) .The story was about the wrong intention of Cham(son of noah) he looked the naked body of his father noah and commited sin (maybe homosexual orientation) .Noah knew what his son cham did so he cursed canaan (the offspring of Cham) because he knew what kind of people are the sons of Canaan.
First of all, Noah only took 2 of each animal, , one male and the other female, period. Secondly, there was a "no species left behind" rule instated, so all the species were present,
== Whether Noah took 2 animals (Genesis 7:8, 9, 15 Genesis 7:8, 9, 15 ) or 7 (Genesis 7:2), with only Noah, his 3 sons and daughters-in-law to feed and clean the Ark, the animals will not thrive healthy. With only one window (Genesis 6:16) for ventilation.
Quick reference Genesis 6:19 And of every living thing of all flesh, two of every sort shalt thou bring into the ark, to keep them alive with thee; they shall be male and female. 7:2 Of every clean beast thou shalt take to thee by sevens, the male and his female: and of beasts that are not clean by two, the male and his female. 7:15 And they went in unto Noah into the ark, two and two of all flesh, wherein is the breath of life. Note on Genesis 7:2; Seven is not a pair. It will be 3 pairs and an odd number one. This contradicts 6:19 and 7:15 6:16 A window shalt thou make to the ark, and in a cubit shalt thou finish it above; and the door of the ark shalt thou set in the side thereof; with lower, second, and third stories shalt thou make it. note; The letter "A" in "A window" is singular, meaning only one window is to be built.. == == From the accounts in Genesis 6 - 9 many things are stated and many things more are omitted considering the massive size of this boat. Studies have shown that the whole thing was quite feasible in all the major areas.
In relation to minor details, it is important not to jump to unwarranted conclusions with little specific detail. For example, it is not stated directly that there was to be only one, one cubit square, window. This is only an assumption. Many details are omitted from the account such as the complete construction blueprint, the animals food, where they were housed inside etc. Nothing can be proved either way from this.
Many have also made assumptions about ancient technology and that therefore such a structure could not have existed. We do know from the measurements given that the design would have been stable i.e. hard to capsize. We also know that ancient peoples were highly intelligent and capable of engineering and mathematical feats. e.g. Pyramids, Mayan calculation of the synodical period of Mars, and Eratosthenes calculation of the circumference of the earth.

Noah didn't flood the earth, the bible is a fairy-tale which is brian washed into you as a child! The video linked below may help you realize how silly this story actually is. There is also loads more videos on there about Christianity and how the stories in the bible don't add up but takes a comedy approach on it!
ANSWER 2:
According to Genesis, Noah was accompanied on the ark by his wife, his three sons, and his three daughters-in-law - no mention of a Mary. That aside, the story of Noah should be viewed as symbolism; however, if it in fact took place, it would not have been a global flood but a local flood. In all probability it took place in the Bronze Age or earlier, when "the earth" would have been considered as far as the eye could see or where it ended at the water's edge. The geographical area where the story took place was somewhere in what today is known as Turkey in the Middle East.
To answer the question about black people, they were then, as they continue to be now, from the continent of Africa and the flood in Turkey would have had no relevance to their existence one way or another.
I think differently. What is the surety that Noah or Mary or any other who were responsible for growth of generation is no Black. Why do you see them as White only. Even Jesus, Adam, Eve could be Black. What we see is only the imagination of artist. Further as per Darvin theory due to evolution Black people would have been given birth to.For example see Mongolian race who are yellow.
Why did hominids begin to walk upright and eat meat?
While this is still a point of contention among researchers, there are a few leading theories. First, as primates began to migrate away from forested areas, they needed to adapt to be able to move faster on the ground (else they would become easy prey). Because their dexterous hands were so essential to their survival, evolution toward a four-legged primate would be less likely than the development of more effective upright movement.
What are the Compare and contrast the floods in both the epic of Gilgamesh and noah and the flood?
Both the Epic of Gilgamesh and the story of Noah's flood feature a catastrophic flood sent by divinity as punishment, a chosen hero who builds an ark to save humanity and animals, and a dove sent to search for land. However, the Epic of Gilgamesh is polytheistic, with multiple gods involved in the flood, whereas Noah's flood is a monotheistic event orchestrated by a single God. Additionally, the motivations and aftermath of the floods differ: in the Epic of Gilgamesh, the flood is caused by the gods' annoyance with human noise, while in Noah's flood, God is motivated by punishing human sinfulness.
What was the time period of Noah's ark and the 'Epic of Gilgamesh'?
The book of Genesis didn't give a time period for its events. But a guesstimate may be made by way of the geological record. A worldwide flood took place sometime between 4000 B.C.E. and 2800 B.C.E. So Noah's ark may have been built at some point during that time period. The 'Epic of Gilgamesh' also may have been written at some point during that same time period. It has been dated to around 2800 B.C.E.-2700 B.C.E.
Noah and Gilgamesh in fact may have lived at the same time. The Biblical story of the flood was suspected of having a connection with Babylonian mythology. That mythology in fact was the source of the story of Gilgamesh. But Noah and Gilgamesh weren't one person whose name differed according to the telling in one language or another. For example, Gilgamesh's boat was a cube and stayed afloat for only a week. In contrast, Noah's boat was six times as long as it was wide, and ten times as long as it was high. It stayed afloat for five months.
What was the daily life when noah lived?
Daily life during Noah's time would have involved activities such as farming, herding animals, building shelters, and engaging in trade. Since Noah lived before written history, details are based on religious texts like the Bible, which describe a simple and agrarian lifestyle centered around family and community. Noah is best known for building an ark to survive a catastrophic flood, as described in the story of Noah's Ark.
What animals would you save in Noah's ark and why?
Since the instruction is to save animals, I would prioritize endangered species and those crucial for maintaining ecological balance. This may include animals like the African elephant, orangutans, tigers, honey bees, and sharks.We must consider the importance of preserving biodiversity and safeguarding species at risk of extinction in order to preserve the delicate balance of ecosystems.
What does the olive branch in Noah's Ark represent?
it represents everything the earth supplies for us. the olives give food, their trees give shelter the branches build us homes and gives us warmth. this is how the Greeks look at it. ive been to Greece and this is how the olive trees and branches were described.
When Noah entered the ark he not only took the pairs for reproduction but also sevens (some debate exists whether this is seven animals or seven pairs) of the domesticated animals such as cattle. The idea here is that these tame animals would have been needed immediately after the flood for food. Also the suggestion is that this constitutes three breeding pairs and a seventh for sacrifice. Thus, the pairs of animals which were taken on the ark were a different and much larger group numerically than the domesticated group, even including the taking of sevens. The references for this are: Genesis 7:2-3 (2) "Of every clean beast thou shalt take to thee by sevens, the male and his female: and of beasts that are not clean by two, the male and his female. "(3) Of fowls also of the air by sevens, the male and the female; to keep seed alive upon the face of all the earth." Genesis 8:20 "And Noah built an altar unto the Lord; and took of every clean beast, and of every clean foul, and offered burnt offerings on the altar." These verses make it clear that there were animals for sacrifice apart from the 'unclean' or non-domesticated animals.god put sevens of things in the ark so i would imagine that the groups of sevens that noah took in to the ark he sacrificed some of them for god
How far was it from where the Ark was when it started flooding to where the Ark stopped?
According to the Biblical account, the floodwaters covered the entire earth, and the Ark came to rest on the mountains of Ararat. The exact distance traveled by the Ark during the flood is not specified in the text, so it is difficult to determine its actual distance.
When was the story of Noah's ark set or happen in?
It may be impossible to know exactly when the story takes place, but it is in Genesis, the first book of the Old Testament, when everyone was a vegetarian and no one died from old age. The ancient Sumerians and the Hopi people of the American Southwest also had stories of a worldwide flood and survivors who built an ark, but no one can say how long ago it was.
Why did noah took pigs in the ark?
According to the story in the Bible, Noah took two of every kind of animal on the ark, including pigs. The purpose of bringing all the animals onto the Ark was to ensure their survival during the flood and to repopulate the Earth afterwards. Interestingly, despite being allowed to bring pigs on the ark, the Bible later identifies pigs as unclean animals that should not be eaten (Leviticus 11:7).
How do you say Noah's Ark in Hebrew?
Noach is the Hebrew word for Noah. It's spelled Nun, Chet - נח
That's נח pronounced "NO-akh".
"Noah" is one of those names that came to us FROM Hebrew by way of King James.
The Hebrew pronunciation is "NO-akh".
Why didn't the dinosaurs enter the Ark?
It needs to be clearly understood that many dinosaurs died in the global flood of Noah's day. Secondly, it is also highly likely that there were representative kinds of dinosaurs, most likely young specimens, taken aboard the ark. There is absolutely no reason to assume that they weren't taken aboard, as they would have been included in the 'two of every kind' that God brought to Noah, to preserve genetic diversity on the earth.
Also, it must be remembered that the climate of the earth underwent drastic change due to the processes associated with the flood, including the ice-age which followed it. As a part of this process, the dinosaurs which went off the ark most likely then became extinct. It is interesting to note in this connection, the widespread existence of 'monster' or 'dragon' accounts, commonly interpreted as legends among many of the people groups of the earth, including in China and some quite recent accounts from England.
So, to quite simply summarize the answer: Noah took dinosaurs on the ark. Secondly they became extinct afterwards, in the drastically altered post-flood environment.
They must have been on the ark probably as adolescents to compensate for their size.
