Does any body actually believe the Bible? Does anybody believe the story of Noah’s ark?
Question by RI? Z#????h ? !: Does any body actually believe the Bible? Does anybody believe the story of Noah’s ark?
If so, how long did it take him to collect ALL of the non aquatic animals? How did he travel the ENTIRE WORLD to find ALL of them? Does it mean that all animals are inbred? And all people are too? First from Adam and Eve, then Noah? Why does Herculese and Thor seem more likely to have happened than that b.s.?
And to the dummies who say the animals came to him, how the hell did ALL of the Australian, Antartic, N. and S. American animals get to the middle east. After all of that swimming, why need an ark?

Not a chance to either questions. The Harry Potter series is as non-fiction as the Bible is.
yes and yes
according to the bible the animals came to him. he didn’t go and find then.
Agreed, with the first answerer.
the stories are truths and nothing more they arent real but theyre just stories to point out lessons
yes I believe every word
I guess that 1mile long wooden structure ON TOP OF MOUNT ARARAT, just fell in from the sky, huh?
No more than Aesop’s fables.
to quote a movie, “you can’t handle the truth”. What a stupid question, does anybody believe the bible, let’s see,,,,,, about half the planet does.
Yes I believe the bible, yes I believe the story of Noah’s ark. The bible says that God had the animals come to him. Please refer to Genesis chapter 7. Yes, people were “inbred”. If you will read the book of Leviticus, that is when God made this sort of thing taboo. I know we think of it as sick now….but it wasn’t until God made it so.
You think it’s all, as you so delicately put it…BS? Okay. But please note, you had alot of facts wrong. Perhaps you should read the bible more carefully before you mock it?
By the way….the only animals that were in the ark are those who had “the breath of life in their nostrils”. Bugs don’t have nostrils.
Genesis
Romans
1& 2 Thes
Revelation
Yes and yes.
You are out of your league here. I could copy and paste the answers but you are asking for a lot of detail.
I would say read and find out for yourself. It is stimulating.
It never ceases to amaze me what some people will believe.
“the animals came to him”
LOL!
I can just see two penguins walking across Africa to get to the Middle East.
these people watch too many disney movies.
There are over 350,000 species of beetles. And that doesn’t even count the millions of other insect, not to mention things like mammals and birds and reptiles.
And I’m supposed to believe they all fit in a boat, and stayed there for a month and change.
Funny.
um.. i dont think greek mythology is anywhere near as believable as the bible.. do you know anybody that believes in greek mythology?
Because you don’t have an open mind.
You look at something and because you have no imagination, or can’t think beyond what you know, you disregard it.
Yes, I believe in the Bible. Yes, I believe that Noah built a large vessel capable of carrying all of the animals in his neck of the woods.
The Bible says that he created Adam and Eve, it doesn’t say that he ONLY created Adam and Eve.
Open your mind and try to explore things.
I so don’t buy what the bible has to say. To me it is just another book full of little stories that aren’t really all that entertaining in my opinion anyway. My philosophy on life is to be a good person to yourself and others and that’s all you have to be. No need to quote verses or try to convert the world into subscribing to your beliefs.
So bottom line is NO, I do not believe the bible nor the story of Noah’s ark. If any of this were true, why can’t these “miracles” happen today? I’m more of a “I need to see it to believe it” kind of girl.
I have an easier time believing noah’s ark than the rest of the bible… I do not believe in god, but I do believe PART of the story of Noahs ark… I dont really know what happened or if he really got all the animals onto the boat, but I believe he built it and that there was a huge flood (most of that has been scientifically proven) I dont know if I could believe the details either.
yes i beleave it and if u want to know all the answers then go to church if u dont and read it if u didn’t.
I believe it and they have proof, there are actually satelite pictures showing a boat on Mt. Ararat. And he didn’t gather up the animals, the animals came to him. If it wasn’t real how would they have thousand’s of years of proof.
Noah’s Ark story is highly unlikely for the reasons that you have mentioned, as well as the fact that the area where Noah supposedly built this ark didn’t have enough wood to build an ark of that size. Also, how did he house the termites?
But, don’t throw out the Bible with the bath water, so to speak. Just because some of the Bible is clearly more of a parable or metaphor than reality, there clearly are some historic references throughout the Bible. Whether you attach religious meaning to them is entirely up to interpretation, though. Same with Greek, Roman, Norse, Persian mythology-some is probably fact based, but embellished.
Matthew 19:24-26 … [26] Jesus looked at them and said, “With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.” And yes I do believe the Bible is the Word of God. Thus I believe that Noah did indeed gather all the animals into the ark but it was not his doing. It was the doing of the Almighty God.
At Noah’s time, everyone was mainly in the same area. There wasn’t enough time for everyone to go off and migrate to other areas, that happened after the Flood. So, Noah didn’t have to go searching across the whole world.
He also spent a really long time making the ark. That gave him plenty of time to look for all the animals.
Noah’s family includes his wife, as well as the wives of his sons. So, no, at that point, no one was inbred. Only at the very beginning, because there was no other choice.
Plus, there’s historical evidence for a huge Flood to have happened right around when Noah would have been alive.
It’s not just a fairy tale, really. ^_^
No, but I have had plenty of Christians try to convince me that it is true because there are sea shells in the mountains! I tell them to take a geology class!
Well, Noah only had seven days before the deluge when God gave this command. There is no possible way that he could have collected every species of non-aquatic animal in that amount of time. So God must have helped him by causing the animals to go to Noah. Makes sense, right? I mean, if God could create them, he could definitely make them go to Noah.
And yes, I believe in all of the Bible.
I do as do a lot of people and there was 120 yrs for God to collect these animals (Noah didnt do it btw). If you dont believe anything above the intelligence of man, thats you’re problem.
Have you read the Bible? And if you did, did you take the time to understand it?
I’ve read your question a couple of times and I figure that you really do need to read it and see what it says.
I’m thinkin’ that your attention span wouldn’t make it all the way through. It does come in sections if that would seem like an easier task.
Heck, give it a try.
Ya never know…….
Well since this is one of the most ancient accounts in the Bible, it’s really hard to tell a lot of the details.
But it has been my understanding that almost all the ancient peoples have some Flood story in their far past with similar details it seems like it is a worldwide belief. Also I thought I read once that there was a break in the fossil layer at about the right time for the flood that showed a massive die off of species.
For what it’s worth.
Down to the last jot and tittle.
I’d quote some scripture but you’re not into that stuff…
This is a good question….I’m going to do some research and try to respond with a reasonable answer.
A number of good answers are already here, so, I won’t go into that.
However, your skepticism may cost you eternal life.
Many have thanked me for this link. Perhaps you can find the time to make good use of it.
Anything god says in the bible is true even if it is hard to believe. God can do anything and he doesn’t lie. The bible is backed up by hystory. He gives us free will to choose our own path for eternity. Why would you choose hell? The plan of salvation is in the bible if you ever change your mind. It is better to be prepared and not go anywhere when you die then to die and find out that everything is true and not be ready.
Not sure why you are asking this.. but if you keep up with history.. the world was not always like this. The continents were once together.. and so fourth. Ice Age is not only a cartoon. So Noah’s ark should be believable. If you have questions maybe you should talk to someone from church. I know all this is true.. I just believe in my heart.. sorry I was really no help.
There’s alot of inbreeding in the bible.
Oh for heaven’s sake.
Well, first of all, Noah had to build the ark. Never mind that he likely didn’t have a clue about building anything. When God tells you that you have to build an ark and collect all of the animals, you know that you are going to have divine help in making such a ship sea-worthy.
I don’t know how long it took poor old Noah to get the animals, or how he even got the kangaroos from Australia, the polar bears from the North Pole, the elephants from Africa, the anacondas from South America, and so on and so forth.
Nor do I know how he got them to all walk up the ramp very nicely, two-by-two and into the ship. Goodness. Try telling your cat to do anything, and see what happens. Noah must have had that “special touch”.
And I’m afraid I don’t know how he fed them for 40 days and nights, nor do I know how he had enough water on board. As for bathroom facilities, well, let’s just say that God takes care of everything.
But all of that is really no mystery. The real puzzle is the state of the world when the ark docked. I mean, God killed all of the people on Earth with the flood, right? What happened to their bodies? Were they all scattered around, decomposing everywhere? That must have a nice “hello” after all of the trouble that Noah went through.
And what about the high water itself? Where did it go? Is there a drain in the earth somewhere?
So, even though this might not be the most helpful answer, you can rest assured that it is every bit as sincere as any other that you will read!
Would you care to ask about Jonah living in the whale for three days?
Yes, I belive the Bible is true. And yes, I belive the story of Noah’s Ark.
Note, that Genesis does not say Noah had to travell the entire world to find the animals… Check it out!
Also, there are a number of feasibility study’s about this topic, see the links below for more information.
When it actually comes down to it, the Bible isn’t really that mysteriouse or hard to believe. It has been studyied and researched to be a very accurate ancient historical document.
And we have myths such as Herculese and Thor, and belive them just like that. And Santa Clause, we belive them with very little evidence, by word of mouth. But when it comes to the Bible, people are skeptic.
In reality, it is valid historical documentation. Validated to be accurate in a number of ways.
Check out “The Case For Christ” by Lee Strobel. He researches all the methods for testing whether the Bible is true, such as archeological, historical, eyewitness. Fascinating read.

Yes to both questions
He didn’t have to go all around the world, the animals came to him.
Oh, and he didn’t have to collect any insects, only those that have “the breath of life in their nostrils”
I believe the story of Noah and the great flood.
There is evidence of such a flood, such as fossils on top of mountains. Also there are ancient stories from tribes all over the world of a great flood and a man building a boat to save his family and all of the animals. For a more in depth look at this try the link below.
As another answer listed, Noah did not have to go find the animals, they came to him.
How did they travel to Noah from all over the world? I believe all of the continents were connected. Look up an article about continental drift and the theory that all continents were once connected in a massive continent that many now call “Pangaea”. I believe effects of the flood caused Pangaea to begin to divide.
