Noah's Ark

I have one and I need help on it

There are nine accepted sub-species of giraffe, although some biologists regards six of these as separate species; either way, these could not have evolved from a single subspecies in the last five thousand years. Read literally, the Bible would require two of each subspecies to go on ot the ark and therefore be saved from annihilation. To be factual, there must have been 18 giraffes on the ark.

Since Noah's ark preserved Noah and his family through the flood, all people on the earth are descended from Noah. Those of the Church of Christ and many others look to him as a father in the same way they look to Adam or even Abraham (who came after Noah). Some believe that he (Noah) and his sons lived and believed the same principles that Christ taught when He came, and that they looked forward to and prophesied of His (Christ's) birth.

God brought the great flood to destroy humankind for all their forms of wickedness.

The story of Noah and the Ark is primarily categorized as a religious narrative found in the Bible, specifically in the Book of Genesis. It is often considered a myth or legend within the context of ancient Near Eastern literature, conveying moral and theological themes such as divine judgment, obedience, and redemption. This narrative is also part of broader literary traditions that explore humanity's relationship with the divine and the environment.

No government can lay claim, in the legal sense, to Noah's Ark unless we know where it is. Whether because there never was a Noah's Ark or because it has long since been destroyed, no evidence of the Ark has ever been found.

8 Then God said to Noah and to his sons with him: 9 "I now establish my covenant with you and with your descendants after you 10 and with every living creature that was with you-the birds, the livestock and all the wild animals, all those that came out of the ark with you-every living creature on earth. 11 I establish my covenant with you: Never again will all life be cut off by the waters of a flood; never again will there be a flood to destroy the earth."

Genesis 9:8-11, New International Version

No. According to the Bible, Shem was only even born a little over four thousand years ago. How could one man have founded all the races of Africa in such a short time?

Archaeologists have found substantial evidence of modern humans living in Africa hundreds of thousands of years ago. These were the ancestors of the Africans of today. In fact, they were the ancestors of every one alive today.

There were 4 human girls: Noah's wife, and the wives of his 3 sons.

He is real or we wont be here

Scientist have found proof of a great flood that covered the entire earth so this leads to that Noah was a part of it. The story therefore would seem to be 100% real but I guess it depends on what you want to believe.

Genesis 8:4 records that the ark came to rest on 'the mountains of Ararat'. These are commonly identified with the two peaks which today bear this name, particularly the greater one. Numerous expeditions have gone to greater Mount Ararat, although due to bandits it is difficult if not impossible today.

Noah's ark is not embodied in the plan of salvation for all mankind. Jesus calls everyone to repentance, to acceptance of his sacrifice on the cross as the only means by which men can be saved. Jesus said, "I am the way, the truth, and the life, no one comes to the Father except by me." There is a disbelief, like in Noah's generation, of God's ultimate judgment, but it will come. Evangelical churches proclaim this message and some, like in Noah's time, ignore the loving invitation God makes through his servants. Eventually, the opportunity will be closed by God himself, as God closed the door to the Ark. Noah did not close the Ark, God did, and once closed, the opportunity for salvation from the wrath of God is gone, as it was in Noah's time. God is ever patient and does not want anyone to perish, and he lovingly invites all. "Behold I stand at the door and knock. If any man hears my voice and open the door I will come in." God stands at the door of your heart this very day. God uses his servants to make that invitation to you. Noah called upon the people to get on the ark. He believed God. Do you believe God today? If so, come to Jesus in repentance: 1. Admit your a sinner. 2. Ask his forgiveness for your sin. 3. Confess him as Lord and Savior. He is the Ark that will keep you, protect and preserve you. He paid the price for your sin and mine and he has prepared a mansion for you in heaven where he wants you to abide. Don't delay as the people of Noah's time did. Do so before it is too late for you.

Possibly but not necessarily. The Bible account uses the word "kind" to describe which animals were taken. This almost certainly does not mean the species as we know it today. Selection pressures in the different post-flood environments led to different species adapted to these new environments arising due to natural selection. This is how creation scientists explain how only around 8,000 or so creatures were required to be fitted onto the ark.

It is also worth noting that each of these "kinds" probably carried a wider genetic diversity than many of the more specialised species do today. This genetic diversity allowed the various species to arise -each with a reduced genetic variability, being more specialised.

In relation to a number of diverse groups of creatures on the planet today such as dogs -including jackals and wolves, there is still the ability to produce fertile offspring. This also includes the sheep/goat group and a number of others. This may apply to the "bear""group, but probably hasn't been tested. In the case of the Panda -they would appear to have lost the ability to interbreed with others (certainly in the wild) and indeed have enough trouble to breed among their own species. But, this does not mean or imply that they existed on the ark as they exist today -possibly, even probably there was "bear kind" aboard.

The tree used by Noah to make is ark ,was the cypress tree.

Genesis 6:9-7:5 is the account of Noah, and though it doesn't directly say how long it took God to talk to Noah after the ark was completed, if we consider that Noah was 500 years old before he even had his sons(Genesis 5:32), and the flood began when he was 600 years old(Genesis 7:6), it wasn't long.

-Noah's sons were already grown with wives during the time they helped him build the ark (Genesis 6:13-18)

-the ark undoubtedly took a long time to build, taking up probably 50-60 years.

-then to fill it with animals

so it wasn't long after the ark was completed and filled before God spoke to Noah telling him he was going to bring the flood 'in just 7 days'(Genesis 7:4).

Nowhere in the Bible is there a reference to the carpentry techniques that Noah employed in making his ark. The only indication is found in the vessel's dimensions. God told Noah to build the ark 300 cubits long by 50 cubits wide by 30 cubits high. That information was given in Genesis 6:15. Additionally, there was a distance of 18 inches between the roof and the sides. So that would have been enough to allow for at least one window that may or may not have been continuous.

Noah's three sons, Shem, Ham and Japheth, who went INTO the ark with Noah (Genesis 7:13)(Genesis 7:7)(1 Peter 3:20)(2 Peter 2:5) were the same ones who came OUT of the ark after the flood ended(Genesis 8:15+16).

Noah from the book of genesis in the bible lived to be 950 years. His actual name was Noe. The ah is a suffix for a woman, added out of respect because his wife was never mentioned.

Yes. In the Bible it says that two of every animal were onboard, so that means that there would be two ravens. The raven is specifically mentioned as the first creature that was sent out of the ark.

Genesis 8:7

And he sent forth a raven, which went forth to and fro, until the waters were dried up from off the earth.

Genesis 8:11-12

And the dove came in to him in the evening; and, lo, in her mouth was an olive leaf plucked off: so Noah knew that the waters were abated from off the earth.

And he stayed another 7 days; and sent forth the dove; which returned not again unto him any more.

The covenant god made with Noah was that he would not destroy the earth, with a flood that would last for 40 days and nights. The rainbow is the sign of it.
