“We all live in a wooden submarine (boomp), wooden submarine (boomp), wooden submarine...”
Likely made of shittim wood.
That’s the one kicker about the Noah’s Ark story - Jesus comments on it (and not in parable; make-believe-story fashion). What amazes me about the story is that Noah spent years (decades?) building an ark to save the world from a flood.
This was at a time before it had ever even rained! Talk about faith!!
My son was just talking to me about the faith that the wise men had. Following a star for a year or more through the desert, probably harsh conditions at times. No actual news that a “king” had been born - just their interpretation of a sign - their belief.
“Yes and I’ll bet the large carnivorous animals got along just swell with the weaker non-carnivorous ones.”
That’s why I never go to the zoo - all they have are lions and bears and wolves.
If indeed, there was a flood, and more than two countries/peoples attest to it, as well as it being in the Bible (the world according to God) the flood would have covered enough territory to wipe out several peoples.
There could have been more than one ark, because of the animals, but I’m sticking with one because it was obviously HUGH!
There is a book called “The Bible As History,” by Werner Keller, and it has seen several reprints with revisions in the information contained in the earlier editions. It amazed me to read about the places in the Bible as they pertain to the modern-day countries. Landmarks are especially interesting.
And one thing no one seems to have taken into consideration is that with God, all things are possible. I believe He would have taken care of the animal flatulence problem as well as give instructions for a vessel to house all the animals He wanted saved.
If it required a submarine, then God would have provided everything necessary. </soapbox

One pine vassily, one pine only.
Thanks! Interesting!
Maybe the animal farts, which are flammable, were used to build a lighter-than-air ark...
Y’know? I wouldn’t be a bit surprised! LOL!
Not a bad argument. And the article itself states that there were many huge anchor stones around the site - suggesting there could have been a flotilla of ships.
It must have been like the Life of Pi, where they were shipping a whole zoo full of animals on a freighter to Vancouver when a storm hit and the ship went down but Pi let the animals out of their cages so they were all over in the water and in his life boat and then the hyena eats the zebra and the lion eats the hyena.
With modern power tools it took over 300 man-years of labor to build each of the Ark 'replicas'.
