First mention of Noah is when he was about 500 yrs old. he finished building the ark when he was 600 yrs old. So he worked on the ark for approximately 100 years. The ark was made of wood, but this must be a special wood that does not dry up, shrink and do not rot, for 100 years. There are no known tree today that shows this characteristics. It may be extinct now and we may never know what kind of wood Noah used.

I believe the reasoning for God commanding Noah to build and fill a ship was a test of his (Noah's) and his families faith. Of course God could have done it himself. He, also, could have prevented the flood. If God did "everything" for us and never tested us the human race would never learn a thing. Equate it to a spoiled child who never has to obey or do anything for themselves. Do you think those children are learning good life lessons and responsibilities? Every problem we encounter is a lesson from God. How we handle it and how we ask for His help and listen to his guidance is how we ultimately learn our life lessons. What a great question! Of course, the story of Noah is a fable, which came from the Babylonian Epic of Gilgamesh, when the Hebrews were exiled from Jerusalem and brought to Babylon. The story got mixed with stories of their own invisible sky-god, and combined with Judeo-Christian notions of being "tested," which often happens in Bible tales. God never just waves his hand and makes things happen. He always has people do stuff for him, because that's more impressive. Like with Moses, God could have waived his hand and frozen the river, but it was much more impressive for Moses to wave his hands and make the river part. The same thing with Noah. It's really impressive to cram many species of animals in only a few thousand square feet of ark space. That's a miracle, and an impressive one at that. The Old Testament consists largely of borrowed myths. Nearly everything in Genesis, and much of the so called history which follows, are but a recital of Assyrian, Babylonian, Chaldean and other legends. Dr. Draper says: "From such Assyrian sources, the legends of the creation of the earth and heaven, the garden of Eden, the making of man from clay, and of woman from one of his ribs, the temptation by the serpent, the naming of animals, the cherubim and flaming sword, the Deluge and the ark, the drying up of the waters by the wind, the building of the Tower of Babel, and the confusion of tongues, were obtained by Ezra" (Conflict, p. 223). How do you know that the assyrians, the babylonians, the chaldeans, and all the rest didn't obtain the story from the Israelites. Then for that matter... If there was a world-wide flood wouldn't all the world have a story about it? There are no biblical events or suggestions anywhere that would indicate God caused anything to happen by simply waving His hand. Instead the indications are that He used the natural forces and resources of the earth to make things happen. In the case of the plagues of Egypt, He caused a '...great wind' to carry the locust, flies, lice etc. to bear down on the pharoh. In Noah's case ' wood ' was needed to prepare for the torrential downpour. All these things, wind, insects, wood and water are all natural to the earth. God did not make any of these things appear from nowhere by the wave of His hand. Those resources were already here. To show to this world how he can save the ones that find mercy in his eyes, and to make it a sign to this world that sin is punished like he did on Sodom and Gommorah. == == God used the ark to save Noah, his family and the animals from the flood. He used the flood to destroy wicked mankind, instead of "a simple wave of his hand", to leave proof. One thing the Bible clearly tells us is that God is "longsuffering, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance." Noah is also called a 'preacher of righteousness.' What both of these mean in this context is that the 100 years or so, it took Noah to build the ark were a sufficient opportunity for all to hear about the coming judgment, either from Noah direct, or by word of mouth.
It would appear rather unlikely that no-one would have asked Noah what he was doing and why. They no doubt found it rather amusing. The fact that they did not repent indicates that they were not just occasionally making a 'mistake' but that their way of life was totally turned against God, even though those who knew Adam had not died very long ago.
So, the whole thing demonstrates God's desire to give people a fair opportunity to change, as well as Noah to both do the job and to keep on witnessing both by his words and his actions.
In terms of detail, it is also necessary to understand that God brought the animals to Noah. Noah didn't have to fill the ark himself, although he did have to both build the accomodation and gather the food. Secondly, it also was not 'every living animal.' What is most likely, according to what the Bible says, is that it was representatives of the many different kinds of animals. Rapid diversification took place after the flood, under the drasticly different world climate. So, although God did it, the task was not as 'impossible' as what it might seem. In any case, God has a good reason for everything He does (or doesn't do) even if we can't see it immediately, or even if we never find it out.
Why is the cat not in the bible?
For a positive, authoritative answer, you'd probably have to ask the author.
However, that doesn't mean that I'm not foolish enough to speculate: My guess is that there was
no significant lesson to be taught or learned by means of an episode involving a cat.
Much like the elephant, the monkey, the penguin, the giraffe, the Arctic fox, the vole, the gnu,
the ibex, the aardvark, the albatross, the zebra, the sloth, the anteater, the naked mole rat, the
mosquito, the cicada, the octopus, the crayfish, the lobster, the squid, the whale, the panda, etc.
Did Noah ever question to build the ark?
Noah listened to god and built the Ark accordingly to what God said.
Was noah ark 450 feet long-76 feet wide-45 feet tall?
No, it was 300 cubits long, 50 cubits wide and 30 cubits tall. How long the cubit was depends on how tall was an average man of the antediluvian race.
Cheetahs are known to stay in pairs if they are sister and mother, sisters or brothers. Mother cheetahs will travel with their cubs until they are old enough to survive on their own, and male and female only stay together if they are about to mate, other than that, they stay on their own.
Most other animals travel in herds, or on their own.

Pangaea, or Pangea, was the supercontinent that existed around 250 million years ago, clearly very long before the time attributed to Noah's Flood. It is now known that continental drift has both separated the continents and driven them together.
Some Christians say that the scientific dating is wrong, and that Pangea existed up until the time of the biblical Flood, the force of which destroyed the old landforms and created new ones. However, this faith-based hypothesis does not explain:
- Modern continents still have the outlines where they once fitted together.
- Fossil evidence of similar, now-extinct species that once thrived in close proximity, on continents that are now widely separated.
- The Himalayas and the Tibetan plateau can be shown to have been driven up as the Indian landmass rammed into the Asian landmass.
- The structures of deep-ocean trenches that continue to form symetrically at the junctures of the continental plates.
There is no doubt that Pangea is many millions of years old. There is no evidence for a great, world-wide flood, but the Bible places in in very recent, historical times.
What is the moral lesson of noah's ark?
It teaches us that we don't have to understand why. When God says "do something," trust Him. That an all-loving God will kill all His creations in a whim, including innocent babies and unborn child. See the Related Link for "noah's ark" to the bottom for the answer.
And God saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually. And it repented the Lord that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him at his heart. Genesis 6 v 5 - 6
The earth also was corrupt before God, and the earth was filled with violence. and God looked upon the earth and, behold, it was corrupt; for all flesh had corrupted his way upon the earth. Genesis 6 v 11 - 12.
Thus we see an important lesson from the story of Noah. The Bible teaches that there was very good and sufficient reason for the flood of Noah's day. At times there come into the pages of history individuals who seem to be unspeakably wicked, violent, and vile. The Bible record here indicates that all of mankindwas that way! It also teaches us that sin is serious, and that a righteous God who is the maker of all has the right to expect certain behavior.
This passage also makes clear that the God of the Bible is compassionate. The state of affairs grieved him deeply. But he had no choice.
Especially when we remember that Noah was called a 'preacher of righteousness' in 2 Peter 2 v 5 the persons who perished in the flood were without excuse as they heard Noah's message and no doubt saw or heard about the Ark while it was being built.
How did noah die from noahs ark?
Noah died at the ripe old age of 950 years. After Noah mans life span never was in so many hundreds of years it is now 70 years.
The geological age of various mountains varies according to the forces that created them. Some of the youngest mountains on earth are volcanic, although many dormant volcanos are extremely old. Mount Ararat is a dormant volcano in a complex geological environment, and is believed to have been formed during the Neogene period, perhaps a little over one million years ago.
Were dinosaurs on the noah's arc?
No, there weren't any dinosaurs on Noah's Ark because they died out about 65 million years ago (long before hominids appeared on the Earth).
Were the animals during the Great Flood cloistered in the ship's hold?
Well, Noah was a smart man and since the Ark has very large dimensions (around 400 ft long) I'm sure he made many individual stalls for all his animals.
Was the ark that Noah built a picture of judgment?
Yes, Noah's ark was a picture of judgment. Those who were sheltered from the fury of nature would survive. Those who were wicked or foolish enough to remain exposed to that fury would die.
How many standard cubit feet are in a pound?
"cubit feet" is nonsense; there's no such measurement.
"cubic feet" is a valid unit of measurement, but it's a volume measurement and cannot be converted into pounds, a weight measurement.
