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.

Were unicorns on Noah's Ark?

A:The ancients knew nothing of unicorns and so could not have imagined them being on Noah's Ark. They belong to a completely different legend to that of the Ark.

How many pure or kosher animals went on noahs ark?

Two of every unclean animal, seven of every clean animal. Goes to show that Noah kept kosher because if he ate an unclean animal, that species would have gone extinct, haha

Which animal didn't enter the Noah's ark?

None. All animals went in by two by two on the ark. That is how we have the animals we do today. All of the animals on the ark were boy and girl. They had children, their children had children and so on. So, if it did not go on the ark, it wasn't an animal at the time. Maybe, something like a Zebroid* didn't go on the ark, but a zebra and horse hadn't mated yet. So the is all animals went on the ark.

*Yes a Zebroid is an animal, it is half horse half zebra. It came to be by a zebra and horse mating. It looks like a horse on half of it's body (the front side or backside of it). And the other half looks like a zebra. I am sorry that I can't attach a link to show you. But you can also just Google Zebroid or half horse half zebra for more info on Zebroids. (It is pronounced Z-broy-d)

Possibly you are thinking of the 'clean' animals which went in by sevens. There have been various interpretations of this. The most likely would seem to mean three pairs and some have suggested the seventh was for a thanksgiving sacrifice once Noah and his family left the ark (or possibly for meat or both). Thus, this seventh animal was the 'odd one out' and would have been 'unpaired.'

Obviously, as some think, if it was seven pairs, then all these would have been in pairs with none left out.

Thus, these animals, which also frequently overlap with the domesticated animals which were to be useful to man post flood, were needed in greater numbers and so more were taken, however you interpret it.

In line with the above there would have been many animals which did not then exist until they diversified post-flood under the selection pressures of the radically altered environment. These animals were only figuratively on the ark in terms of the gene pool of their ancestors.

If there were billions of people before Noah's flood where are the fossils or bodies?

This question confuses faith with science. The Bible says that Noah's Flood occurred only around 1000 years after creation and, with the very low fertility portrayed in the Bible (for example, Methuselah supposedly only had his first son at the age of 187) there could not have been millions of people, let alone billions of people, at the time of the biblical Flood.

Science, on the other hand, says there never was a world-wide flood, as described in the Bible. Although modern humans have existed for perhaps 200,000 years, for most of this time the number of living people was very low. Until our ancestors left Africa around 50,000 years ago, there was probably only a sparse population living along the eastern coast of Africa. The total number of people who had ever lived did not reach one billion until long after the invention of agriculture 8,000 years ago. We are slowly beginning to find the fossils of early humans, but only where the bodies remain in places that permit fossilisation - most early humans were either eaten by wild animals or their bodies have decomposed.

Was the atmosphere thicker before the flood of Noah?

The Bible does not say, so it is not possible to give a purely religious answer.

In terms of what really happened:

  1. There has never been a world-wide Flood of a biblical nature;
  2. This is supported by the fact that there is not enough water on earth for there ever to have been a worldwide Flood of a biblical nature;
  3. For the atmosphere to have been thicker at some time in the past, would require either a lot more air than we now have, people and animals to have adapted to a different air pressure and different oxygen intake, or require that the laws of gravity suddenly changed so that the same amount of air would be held close to the earth and therefore 'thicker';
  4. For the atmosphere to have been thicker at some time in the past, there would be clues left in the geological and fossil record. If This happened during the last few thousand years, there would even be clues in the archaeological record. There is none.

We can be sure that the amount of air around the earth has remained more or less constant over a period of millions of years, that the laws of gravity have not changed and that the air has not been thicker than it is now.

Why didn't Noah and his sons go fishing off the ark They had worms not?

One thought:

One reason many feel they would not have fished, is that man and animals were not given permission to eat meat until AFTER the flood ended. (Genesis 1:27-30)(Genesis 9:1-5)

What modern day comparison is there to the size of Noah's Ark?

AnswerThe biblical Noah's Ark has been compared to the 'unsinkable' Titanic, although the important thing in any such comparison is that the Titanic really did exist. The Titanic was more than 800 feet long overall, about 92 feet wide and had a moulded depth of around 60 feet. The Bible gives the size of Noah's Ark as 300 cubits (507 feet) long, by 50 cubits (85 feet) wide and 30 cubits (about 50 feet) high. So the biblical dimensions of the Ark are somewhat comparable to those of the Titanic.

Where at in turkey did the ark land?

This has not really been proven but "some" archeologists think it landed on Mount Agri (ancient Mount Ararat) in eastern Turkey.

Which of Noah's sons did the Puerto Rican people come from?

A:

Noah simply exists in the Bible, which does not mention Puerto Rica.

To learn the ancestry of Puerto Ricans, we need to ask science, which does not recognise Noah.

Where in the bible can i find noah's occupation?

You'll find it in the 6th chapter of Genesis.

Noah ran a family "shipbuilding" business. If someone works "faithfully" at something for 120 years... most people would regard that as a career move.

Of course, in that time they only built the one ship... but it paid for itself in providing for his children's future.

--

Noah was a farmer/herdsman. There was no need for ships, ergo Noah was not a shipbuilder.

Was Noahs Ark made from two by two?

no it was not he built it with motar.

Which black actor played God in Noah's Ark?

Morgan Freeman was the actor I assume you are talking about, And the movie was Evan Almighty. Personally I loved the movie and thought it was good for all children. It has since brought me closer to God. I am sorry if I got the wrong movie.

Where is Noah's Ark?

Answer 1

Genesis 8 v4

And the ark rested in the seventh month, on the seventeenth day of the month, upon the mountains of Ararat.

Mt. Ararat is in modern day Turkey.

Answer 2

Disregarding the question as to whether the Noah story actually took place, if Noah's Ark was made out of wood, pitch, and tar as the Bible records and it landed on Mount Ararat (in eastern Turkey near the Armenian border), it would have rotted by this point in history. Wood exposed on the top of a mountain would not last more than 100 years do to the moisture of the rain and numerous bacterias that feed on wood. It has been a few thousand years.

Answer 3

A team of evangelical Christian explorers claim they've found the remains of Noah's ark beneath snow and volcanic debris on Turkey's Mount Ararat.

What is the difference between old and new covenant?

God made more than two covenants with Israel, but the one covenant known as the "old covenant " was the one that was made with Israel at Mt Sinai known to most people as the Law of Moses. In this covenant the people were given Ten Commandments, which were broken down into smaller parcels to cover each commandment thoroughly. This law was given to the people to help them live up to God's standards by thoroughly showing them what sin really was. It was an impossibility to keep this law completely and animal sacrifices were given to make atonement to cover their sins. There were also feast days that were give to the people to observe throughout the year. Circumcision was also a big part of this Old Covenant. The law could not really save a person, but could lead people to faith in God if they really desired that.

In Jeremiah 31:31-34, Jeremiah prophecies that there is a time coming when the Jewish people will receive a "New Covenant" as a Nation. This has not been fulfilled yet.

Jesus Christ came to earth over two thousand years ago and died for mankind's sin. He was resurrected the third day and now resides in heaven with God the Father.

When Jesus died, His shed blood instituted the New Covenant. Persons who individually accept Jesus as their Savior are brought into this new covenant by His shed blood. (See Luke 22:19-20; I Corinthians 11:23).

This new covenant is not kept by obeying laws, keeping feast days or by being circumcised. The new covenant is by the Grace of God in giving us a Savior and the faith to believe in Him and obey His commandments, "Love the LORD God with all your heart, soul, mind, and strength, and love your neighbor as your self." We are to also love our brothers and sisters in the faith, and be witnesses to the lost people of this earth that Jesus is the Savior. Also we do not have to sacrifice animals to cover our sin as Jesus' shed blood completely did away with our sin and that is realized when we accept Him as our Lord and Savior. If a person does not come to Jesus Christ the New Testament tells us that, that person will spend an eternity in hell.

Who knows the value of the Blue Mountain Pottery Noah's Ark Display Ship?

The last ship sold for $850.00(US) on eBay. I purchased mine for $200.00 several years ago. As far as I know, there are only 6 ships known to be in existence- so if you find one, BUY IT!
