I was just reading an article and it pointed out 60% of Americans believe that Noah's Ark is literally and absolutely as it happened in the bible. For real.
That number to me is astounding. I recalled a Penn & Teller episode where they discussed basically Noah's Ark and here is a short video laying out how it just couldn't have happened and well, archaeologically - it can't be proven

A rampant case of crabs.
Deep under the ocean, there is a species of crab that eats trees. The crab survives by eating wood that has sunk to the ocean floor, comprising trunks and leaves swept into the sea, as well as the odd shipwreck.
Is this the real reason no one can find the Ark?

Noah’s Ark is really happened and of course is mentioned in the bible, Tura and Quran means in the three holies bookies for the three religions. So it is a fact we cannot ignore it, but where it was located after the flood done and the prophet Noah’s sailed within the storms of the flood. Some people said it was parked in Iraq, but some others said it was parked in Turkey. In any way this Ark by the time became as a symbolic sign for survivor and protection of the human beings from the hell and for that if you like to go to the Old Cairo suburb where you can see the oldest churches we have in the Middle east return back to the fifth Century for some of them and where you can see the ceiling of them decorated with the shape of the Noah’s Ark as the Christians considered it is like their refuge for the believer of Jesus and it must used by them to live with Jesus in the heaven. So this Noah’s Ark is a fact and some poets like Amal donkl, an Egyptian poet, used this Ark as symbol of saving and protection for the human beings and for the loser son of Noah, in one of his poems. So we can called Noah’s as the second father of the Human beings.

@hebasayed747 - There is nothing to substantiate that the ark actually happened as it is written in the bible. There is plenty of hard evidence that shows us the ark story couldn't have happened as a real event. It's scientifically impossible for the story to have taken place as it reads - there is nothing to support it evidence-wise - plenty to show it didn't happen.
Plus did Noah cruise by the Galapagos Islands and drop off the unique life forms there? How about all the marsupials in Australia? The story only works if it is read and thought of in the terms of an allegory rather than an actual event.

I cannot believe any rational, intelligent adult would believe this to be a fact. Really, just think about it.

seems to me an awful lot of rational intelligent people accept it unless you are saying the US only has what 20 percent rational and intelligent people living there? because obviously 40% of non believers cannot all be rational either...nope that theory doesn't hold weight either...and sorry I am in a feisty mood today so it's nothing personal;...and I am sure you posted a controversial blog to get maximum views anyway. So good on you you did an awesome job. Now if only I could find one....

i diont know but noah's (a.s) story is 100% true and he (a.s) did many miracles with the help of GOD ...

@Annie - I know you've been to the zoo - do you believe it is possible a man built a vessel so huge it could all those life forms (I won't even get into the feeding, the probability of lions eating the zebras or smell of it all) and then drop off the animals on the continents where thy only exist naturally? ... At best I believe it is supposed to be an allegorical (fictional symbolic) story.

23 months ago

haha that is silly to say the animals were dropped off where they exist naturally that was thousands of years ago it's natural today for them to be where they are but if one is accepting the bible story you have to remember the Continental plates had not yet shifted it was all one continent and it was wiped clean so the animals would then spread out and over time of course evolved with the climate changes that occurred warming and cooling happened without any influence of men's pollution and animals and people change along with it. If you are gonna knock a theory you do need to at least understand it...just sayin.

I don't find your comments any different than the people who say the holocaust didn't happen. There is enough evidence that the Bible account is true.

I agree there is substantial evidence that the Bible account of Noah's Ark is true....they found the Ark right!!!

what happened during noah's time is Gods plan..no man, how intelligent one must be will ever understand the power of our Almighty Creator. to try to understand it is like counting sands in the dessert. those non-believers must read the bible for the rest of their lives and ask Gods forgiveness for doubting His power.

Any rational intelligent adult would keep an open mind about this. Neither believing nor disbelieving. The vessel that transported Noah and his animals may have been a huge non wooden construction . We are but a tiny tiny dot in a massive universe of many universes. We may be hundreds of thousands of years behind other technologically advanced beings/races.
Again, some Biblical events may have been distorted unintentionally or intentionally by writers. In essence I wouldn't be so foolish as to ridicule believers and non believers.
What's more important though is the messages from the Bible.

100% true and do you also know that Mt Sinai is not in Egypt where they call St Catherine or Mt Catherine (check) but Saudi Arabia? Check it out.

that's so stupid to think there were 10 billion species in need of being saved. Obviously a lot of animals have evolved and they evolved from basic progenitor species like basic mammal families perhaps two of each variety, basic beetles and spiders and other insects a few lizards and other amphibians pretty much that's it and then all animals can be created from those...no proof either way it's all conjecture or faith...but scientists use literal thoughts based on what we have todayrather than realistic ones to create their own theories built to prove something wrong.

How about a little give and take and accepting that yes the world was indeed flooded. How else did we get ocean creatures on the peaks of the Colorado Rockies? Or the Plains of Texas...I have seen those myself with my very own eyes...it's true I didn't borrow someone elses eyes at all haha

The mind of those who do not study the word and try and find out who God really is, just does not have enough space to think out of the box. First God created the heavens and the earth, He (God) created man kind. Now can their be something impossible for the creator of all things? People always think of full grown animals, can it be that God in his sovereignty guided all the animals that were to go on the ark and led baby animals in to the ark? We go to zoo`s and find all kinds of animals, most of them not full grown ones. If you read the Bible and do the research you will find out that the measurements given to Noah were for a pretty big boat. It had two stories and it took the man 120 years to build. So we are not talking about a mediocre little ship.
God the creator of all things, He whom the Bible says in the book of psalms that He knows the names of all the stars in the heavens, He whom created Adam from the earth and then gave him life with his own DNA, by His breath, gave life to a man made of the dust of the earth, can not have one of His own creations build a boat big enough to carry as many baby animals as possible in a boat that size?? If we want to speak about evolution, it certainly was not ape to man, but for sure the evolution of many animals from basic progenitor species. Penguins were birds that flew once upon a time, look at them now. I can continue on, but people will always believe what they want to believe. Only because they believe what they hear. They are so lazy that they live by other ignorant peoples tales.
The biggest trick that satan has is letting people believe he does not exist, and that God is a fable. Well one day not too far away those who believe that fable, that lie, that nonsense, will have their day before the great white throne, and let me tell you, for some, unfortunately is going to too late to say.....I WAS WRONG!! Then shall be the crying and the gnashing of teeth. So let me tell you, if you are reading this, you are still in time. Jesus died for you, so that in that day the doors of heaven be open and you c an come to life ever lasting. No more pain, no more sorrow, no more wants. Then you can ask NOAH yourself, SAY NOAH, HOW DID YOU FIT ALL THOSE DARN ANIMALS IN THAT ARK? I know i will..... God Bless You All

Many, many years ago, (in a magazine or a newspaper) I read an article about certain findings among those who study & explore human cultures. Apparently, whether their society had developed during uncounted generations by an ocean; high in the mountains; or on a waterless desert – nearly every human culture on earth has an ancient tradition of a hand-full of ancestors surviving a Great Flood. This is remarkable when you consider that some of these societies have no recollection of a time or an ancestor that had ever seen enough water to overflow a bucket let alone drown a planet.
The details & our relationship with God may vary, but

We are all one people & nothing is impossible with God . So yes, I believe.
