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.

The Bible is enough proof. And, some pieces of Noah's ark have been found on Mount Ararat.
No there is no proof of this at all. Here is what researcher found.

Since the upper reaches of this volcanic mountain are covered with broken lava rock everywhere and are currently extremely difficult to ascend or descend, its present state makes it a poor location for Noah's Ark to land and for all the animals to easily descend. Some have theorized if the mountain was lower after the flood and then was uplifted later on with more volcanic activity around the parasitic cones similar to Little Ararat. Yet, Mount Ararat has the bulk of the purported eyewitnesses of the boat-like structure since 1850. These "alleged" eyewitnesses are one reason why the search may continue on the mountain.
Given the extensive research which has taken place on Mount Ararat, it seems fair to say that if Noah's Ark ever survived into modern times and is somewhere on Ararat, there are few new places remaining on the mountain to search unless it is buried under the ice cap or lava. There have been many expeditions, accounts, alleged sightings, anomalies, and claims of discovery involving Mount Ararat. What is lacking is any scientific evidence or photo that shows that Noah's Ark survived until today. However, one should also consider the possibility that Noah's Ark landed on Mount Ararat and was subsequently destroyed, which is the possibility alluded to in the article Even If Noah's Ark Is Not Proven, Noah's Ark Still Could Have Landed On Mount Ararat.
Given all the ground and aerial expeditions (and one with sophisticated mapping capabilities), one should surmise that if the remains of Noah's Ark are indeed on Mount Ararat, they are not in plain view; if the boat is there, it must be buried. There have been 2 attempts that used sub-surface Radar (Ground Penetrating Radar - GPR) technology on Mount Ararat to look under the ice. The 1988 Willis expedition and the 1989 Aaron/Garbe/Corbin expedition used GPR. The 1988 Willis expedition successfully surveyed the eastern summit plateau and the saddle area between the two peaks, concluding there were no Ark remains under the ice. The 1989 expedition was not as successful as the preceding year, where a less-capable GPR system was used in temperate (melting) ice cap conditions on the western plateau of Mount Ararat. However, they were able to determine the ice depth on the western plateau and scale the size of the Ark. As the next generation of commercial RADAR Satellites become available, the GPR will not be needed and it should be clear if any anomalies are underneath the ice cap.
If the remains of Noah's Ark were in moving ice on Mount Ararat (there is only one legitimate glacier, the Black Glacier, though there are other moving ice flows like the so-called Parrot Glacier), the Ark would have been ground to bits. ArcImagingcontends that until the entire mountain has been adequately "sub-surface" surveyed using the latest RADAR technology, some people such as the alleged eyewitnesses contended that the Ararat ice cap contains the remains of Noah's Ark since about 90% of the supposed eyewitnesses claim that the boat was sticking out of the ice even though the explorers over the past 50 years did not see the same boat-like structure.
How many days were Noah in the ark before the rain stopped?
Noah was on the ark 17 days before the rain started according to the bible
The book of Genesis described Noah as the only good man during a time of wickedness. It went so far as to say that he was faultless [6:9-10]. Additionally, Lamech described his son Noah as a 'relief' from hard work on God cursed ground [5:29].
For how many days and nights did it rain in the story of the flood?
This depends on a number of factors as to how you define flooded. If you are referring to what is described below then the answer would be 150 days. This is probably the time when all the highest mountains at that time were covered.
24And the waters prevailed upon the earth an hundred and fifty days. == 1And God remembered Noah, and every living thing, and all the cattle that was with him in the ark: and God made a wind to pass over the earth, and the waters assuaged; 2The fountains also of the deep and the windows of heaven were stopped, and the rain from heaven was restrained; 3And the waters returned from off the earth continually: and after the end of the hundred and fifty days the waters were abated.
If on the other hand, you refer to the total amount of time the flood lasted this is a little more difficult due to differences in understanding when exactly the flood began and when it ended. 11In the six hundredth year of Noah's life, in the second month, the seventeenth day of the month, the same day were all the fountains of the great deep broken up, and the windows of heaven were opened. 13And it came to pass in the six hundredth and first year, in the first month, the first day of the month, the waters were dried up from off the earth: and Noah removed the covering of the ark, and looked, and, behold, the face of the ground was dry. 14And in the second month, on the seven and twentieth day of the month, was the earth dried. This latter calculation based on the verse above, would make the total duration of the flood a little less than one year, from the second month of the 600th year of Noah's life into the first month of his 601st year. This would be around 345 days, using the days of the month referred to as a guide.
In relation to the 150 days, it would seem the author was intending this as being included in the 'flood year' and so it would not make an additional time. Obviously it took time for the waters to increase up to the relevant height to cover the mountains and then time for them to recede again.
Why were no dinosaurs on the ark?
For the length of time they were on the Ark, many prayers would have been offered for their safety. It is not doubt that much fasting was also done as the two are in accordance with giving thanks to God for their safety.
What was the first animal that Noah sent from The Ark?
The answer is found in Genisis: 6 After forty days Noah opened the window he had made in the ark 7 and sent out a raven, and it kept flying back and forth until the water had dried up from the earth. 8 Then he sent out a dove to see if the water had receded from the surface of the ground. 9 But the dove could find no place to set its feet because there was water over all the surface of the earth; so it returned to Noah in the ark. He reached out his hand and took the dove and brought it back to himself in the ark. 10 He waited seven more days and again sent out the dove from the ark. 11 When the dove returned to him in the evening, there in its beak was a freshly plucked olive leaf! Then Noah knew that the water had receded from the earth. 12 He waited seven more days and sent the dove out again, but this time it did not return to him.
What did the dove that noah sent out return with?
Genesis 8:11 - Then the dove came to him in the evening, and behold, a freshly plucked olive leaf was in her mouth; and Noah knew that the waters had receded from the earth. [NKJV]

How many days did noahs ark stay afloat?
He was on the ark for 365 days.
Another Answer:
Assuming a lunar calendar, then Noah was on the Ark about 370 days as follows:
Genesis 7:10-11New King James Version (NKJV)
10 And it came to pass after seven days that the waters of the flood were on the earth. 11 In the six hundredth year of Noah's life, in the second month, the seventeenth day of the month, on that day all the fountains of the great deep were broken up, and the windows of heaven were opened.
Noah came into the Ark 7 days before the event began in the 2nd month, 17th day.
Genesis 8:14-16New King James Version (NKJV)
14 And in the second month, on the twenty-seventh day of the month, the earth was dried.
15 Then God spoke to Noah, saying, 16 "Go out of the ark, you and your wife, and your sons and your sons' wives with you.
Noah exits the Ark in the 2nd month, 27th day (10 days over a year from start).
How many days did the flood last in Noahs ark?
It rained for 40 days and forty nights according to the book of Genesis.
AnswerEither 40 days or one year:Genesis 8:4 says that the Ark came to rest on Mount Ararat (5 km above sea level) on the seventeenth day of the seventh month. Verse 8:5 says that in the tenth month the tops of the mountains were seen. Finally, on the first month of the new year (8:13a) the waters were dried up on the land.
Genesis 8:6 says that at the end of forty days, Noah opened the window of the Ark and (8:8-12) sent forth a dove to tell that the land was dry.
The difference arises from the differences in two different accounts of the same story, that have been intertwined to the point that can seem to be jusdt the one account, but for the internal contradictions. The verses attributed to the Priestly author are: Genesis 6:9-22, 7:6, 7:8-9, 7:11, 7:13-16a, 7:18-21, 7:24, 8:1-2a, 8:3b-5, 8:7, 8:13a, 8:14-19, 9:1-17. The verses attributed to the Yahwist are: Genesis 6:5-8, 7:1-5, 7:7, 7:10, 7:12, 7:16b-17, 7:22-23, 8:2b-3a, 8:6, 8:8-12, 8:13b, 8:20-22.
How many animals of each sex did Moses did he take on the ark?
There are actually two different stories of Noah's Ark in the Bible, written by two different authors. Rather than discard one in favour of the other, the Redactor interleaved the two stories so that they look like a single, rather complicated story. The two authors were anonymous, but are now known as the Priestly Source and the Yahwist. The verses attributed to the Priestly author are: Genesis 6:9-22, 7:6, 7:8-9, 7:11, 7:13-16a, 7:18-21, 7:24, 8:1-2a, 8:3b-5, 8:7, 8:13a, 8:14-19, 9:1-17. The verses attributed to the Yahwist are: Genesis 6:5-8, 7:1-5, 7:7, 7:10, 7:12, 7:16b-17, 7:22-23, 8:2b-3a, 8:6, 8:8-12, 8:13b, 8:20-22.
Both authors agree that Noah took two of every unclean beast, therefore one of each sex.
The Yahwist (7:2-3) says that he took seven of each clean beast, although how many of each sex is unclear. The Priestly Source says (7:8-9) that he took only two of every clean beast, male and female.
How many people were safe in the ark?
Eight people found refuge in Noah's Ark. They made up four couples. There were Noah and his wife; and his three sons Shem, Ham, and Japheth and their wives [Genesis 7:13, I Peter 3:20].
Why did the great flood occur?
According to the bible, he does it because he wanted to wipe the slate clean and start over, which to me means he screwed up the first time, so god is obviously not perfect. Besides, there is no evidence that a great flood ever covered the entire planet.
What birds did Noah send out to see if there was dry land?
Noah sent out a raven first, followed by a dove. A week later, another dove was released:
Genesis 8:7-9 (KJV)7:And he sent forth a raven, which went forth to and fro, until the waters were dried up from off the earth. 8:Also he sent forth a dove from him, to see if the waters were abated from off the face of the ground;What month did Noah leave the ark?
One thought:
Many feel it was just over a year, from the time the flood began, and when the door was opened for all to step out into the cleansed world.(Genesis 7:11 / 8:4+14).
In Genesis 8:11 it says the doors closed on the 2nd month, 17th day of Noah's 600 year. (2327 BC)
In Genesis 8:14 it says the doors opened on the 2nd month, 27th day of Noah's 601 year. (2326 BC)
Inside the Ark for 1 year and 10 days.
It was 'dry' on the 1st month, 1st day of Noah's 601 year - Abib or Nisan is the month - the beginning of the new year in God's Sacred Calendar.
What testament is Noah and the ark in?
The story of Noah and the ark is found in the first book of the old testament Genesis.
Who was the man after the death of Noah?
Japheth the oldest son (he had 7 sons), Shem (he had 5 sons), and Ham the yongest ( he had 4 sons) But after Shortly after Noah's death Abram (later known as Abraham), Milcah (wife and neice to Nahor), and Iscah are born.
The book of Genesis indicated that the ark had three floors, in 6:16. God told Noah to make rooms within the ark, in 6:14. But Genesis didn't identify who or what was lodged on which deck.
Noah's ark came to rest on the 17th day of the 7th month of the 600th year of Noah's life, according to Genesis 8:4. But the ark was perched on a mountain. The water levels were still too high for the mountain tops to be seen above the water [8:5].
What is th Noahs ark a symbol of?
Washing away the old to prepare for the new.
Another answer:
Noah's ark is a symbol of God's salvation. The way of salvation is provided by God.
The ark is a picture of Christ.
Also in the story we see God's wrath against sinners but also His grace and patience in seeking to draw all men to repentance. God's sovereignty is shown in His control over creation.
In God's instructions to Noah about how to build the ark we see His precise communication regarding His one way of salvation.
The water symbolizes God's judgment, the flood was universal, God's coming judgment will be universal
How did Noah know it was safe to leave the ark?
he looked overboard and noticed there was no more water. before he even noticed the land he sent out a dove to investigate and the dove came back with an olive branch. then he knew that there was land somewhere out there
