"Who knows what the shape of the ark was."

"This is how you shall make it: the length of the ark three hundred cubits, its breadth fifty cubits, its height thirty cubits." Genesis 6:15

Length, breadth, height...those with a rudimentary understanding of geometry know what class of shapes are so defined. It is NOT circular, it is a rectangular solid.

We know this because God said so. And God incarnate (Jesus Christ) confirms in the NT the truth about Noah. The ark saved the faithful few, and when the son of man returns he will save the believing few then. (Matt 24:37ff, Luke 17:26ff)

Thank you. Why people wish to dispute this is beyond comprehension.

Maybe next we can debate if God really meant "2" when he said two of each kind of animal should enter the ark. Maybe He really meant "5"?

The Bible doesn’t say what you’ve been lead to believe it says. Take a look at the original Hebrew here:

Click through on the STR (Strong’s) word # to see the true definitions of the words. It’s a great resource to use if you’re really interested in understanding the Bible.

Keep in mind that length, width and height only determine its maximums, there’s no reason to believe that the text is sufficient to build the Ark. God must have shown Noah something in Noah’s own mind, not contained in the Bible.
