Noah's Ark...plausible?

[Spurfect21]

In an ongoing argument I have with one of my friends at work we argue if the story of Noah's ark could possibly be true. Throw your religious beliefs out of it and base it off facts and possibilities. Could one man have built an ark big enough to house 2 of every animal and 7 of every 'clean' animal while afloat for a whole year? How did Noah eat? How did the tigers and lions etc...not eat the rabbits and deer? How did the animals eat if they didn't eat eachother? How could an ark support that amount of weight if it was only built by one man?...The list of questions can go on and on. It is possible that a story like this happened but on an infinitely smaller scale. And to anybody who is reading this and thinks it is wrong to question the story, just know that asking questions about something does not make you a blasphemer or non-believer. So please give some opinions and thoughts on the matter...

what facts do you have?

[cantthinkofanything]

I saw an interesting show proposing the theory that the "ark" was really a collection of DNA from all of the different species. And of course that the Noah's Ark story was just an allegory.

[koriwhat]

fuck the book of myths... people spend too much time believing in that foolishness. now i'm not saying religion is total and utter bs and that there isn't a "god" or that to have faith is completely imbecile but come on now, the bible is a total and utter fabrication and a bunch of idiots love the bs.

[CosmicCowboy]

Strictly from a logical standpoint it is highly implausible.

[Fabbs]

The dimensions of the ark are perfect for floating.
Not sure of the exact technical word but there is a measurement for "floatability".:lol

Claim is not that one man built it but he and his 4 sons. Also it took them years to build it.

[Trainwreck2100]

We know nothing of early architecture practices, like how the pyramids were made, so it's possible a ship of that size was made. And the fact that a great flood is in more than one story supports that it happened.

[Spurfect21]

I mean facts like what would happen. Not evidence cuz there is none really besides what's written

It's probably an exaggerated version of a previous tsunami/flood story, tbh.

[Leetonidas]

You're asking is it plausible that God told some dude awhile back that he was gonna flood the earth so he built and Ark and put 2 of EVERY ANIMAL ON EARTH (including all those ones that are extinct now) on this Ark, and then proceeded to chill on the Ark while the earth flooded and everyone died then to have everything clear up and repopulate the planet?

LOL NO

Christianity...


The belief that a cosmic Jewish Zombie who was his own father can make you live forever if you symbolically eat his flesh and telepathically tell him you accept him as your master, so he can remove an evil force from your soul that is present in humanity because a rib-woman was convinced by a talking snake to eat from a magical tree.
Yeah, christianity makes sense.

The Bible is essential to modern Christianity (those who have to take another's word for it). The Bible cannot be edited, altered or corrected to make it "true" as it's the infallible word of the omnimax that is the Christian God. That means that, if a story in the Bible is false, the entirety of the book is false. You cannot put the book on the same grading scale with other books in literature and talk about the knowledge of the times to keep the book "honest" and ignore the fact it's full of falsehoods. Christians see the Bible as the word of an infallible God (though one who has regrets, oddly enough).

So no, you cannot both have the cake before you and have eaten it as well.

[redzero]

If real life worked like a Summer Blockbuster, then yes, the story of Noah's Ark is plausible.

you're creating a straw man argument here. The essential elements of Christianity are Christ's sacrifice and His resurrection. There is no redemption without those elements, but there still would be without other parts of the Bible (like Adam & Eve, the flood, or the story of Abraham and Isaac).

How do you know of Christ's sacrifice and resurrection?

The Bible.

If the Bible contains stories that are presented as truth but are in reality false, how does that reflect upon the book itself? How does the resurrection of Jesus of Nazareth make any more sense than the great flood or the millions of animals on the ark?

Basically, once a witness is shown to be a liar, even factual testimony is thrown out.

If the Bible is not the word of God, what good is it? It's been manipulated by men for centuries, and at the Council of Nicea (CoN for short) they decided that 66 books were "real" and the others were "heretic gospels", and set out to destroy all others because they did not reflect the spirit that those chosen few decided was in keeping with God's wishes.

If the book has lies, the CoN were wrong. They were therefore not led by God to choose these books. The alternative is that God is intentionally fucking with you, in which case he's just an uber-troll.

[Oh, Gee!!]

probably not since the Bible (old/new testaments) didn't exist the way we know of it. He was probably discussing law and custom with them.

I think the Old Testament (including the story of Noah) is valuable to the religious dogma of modern Christianity, but the inconsistencies of some of the stories therein are not fatal to the concept of Christianity as a redeeming force (i.e. eternal salvation). I am not advocating on behalf of Christianity at all, just pointing out the flaw in DMC's reasoning. DMC offers an all-or-nothing approach to Christianity based on his perception of flaws in Old Testament storytelling. I think one can take the Old Testament for what it is, and still be a believer in Christ.

the Bible as "the infallible word of God" is one of the many aspects of modern Christianity, and is prevalent in Evangelical circles. Those people will argue against any and all scientific data to make the world fit into their understanding of the Bible and Christianity. Don't let those people speak for all Christians, please.

Again you are presenting an all-or-nothing argument. Some parts of the Bible could be factually incorrect and the politics of inclusion or exclusion of certain texts could be flawed, but it wouldn't change the actual point of Christianity: that Christ died for our sins. That is the one thing that is necessary for Christianity.

I'm not telling you it's true and that you should believe it; I'm simply stating that it's irrelevant whether the story of Noah is false or grossly exaggerated. You turned the improbability of Noah's ark into an attack on Christianity itself, and proclaimed it the death knell basically. It's a stupid argument, and you're a stupid person.

You seem to be using special pleading. How is your Christianity any different than the Apostles? How do you know of Jesus and the Apostles?

You would be correct if Christianity was just a "better way of life", but it's not. It's core rests solely on the belief that God exists, that God had a son, and that the son died for the sins of man and was resurrected and ascended to Heaven. You can fall back on the teachings of Jesus and say that's Christianity, but it's not. You cannot believe in the rain and not believe in the water.

It's all relevant to whether the veracity of the claim of the NT is valid. Jesus never read the New Testament. He came to fulfill the laws, not to do away with them. Those are the old laws of Moses, not the NT principles that the "ya but" Christians of today try to go both ways on.

Either the Bible is true or it's not. If part of it is false, it's not God's word, since God's word (according to the book itself) cannot lie. If it's not the word of God, it's the word of man. The word of man hold no special "truth", especially if you consider how it's been used over the years.

The concept of Jesus also isn't new. It's been done plenty of times before and since. Funny that there's no book of Jesus, just the books of those who claim to have spent time with him.

[DMC]

Jesus practiced Jewish faith...

True or false
Sort of. Jews did not believe in baptism, yet Jesus was baptized by John the Baptist. Jesus led a sect. He and his followers knew of the prophecy and, imo, set out to fill it. That's the problem with known prophesies; people try to make them come to fruition. They become instructions, not predictions.

"On the other hand, if the proofs for Christianity from the Old Testament, are not valid, if the arguments founded on that Book be not conclusive, and the Prophecies cited from thence be not fulfilled, then has Christianity no just foundation; for the foundation on which Jesus and his Apostles built it is then invalid, and false. Nor can miracles, said to have been wrought by Jesus, and his Apostles in behalf of Christianity, avail anything in the case. For miracles can never render a foundation valid, which is in itself invalid; can never make a false inference true; can never make a prophecy fulfilled, which is not fulfilled; and can never designate a Messiah, or Jesus for the Messiah, if both are not marked out in the Old Testament; no more than they could prove the earth to be the sun, or a mouse a lion."

The Bible has been edited many times through history and meanings have been lost in translation. One or two words can be altered and end up with an entirely different meaning.

Are you arguing that the story of the Ark is misinterpreted?

Why would anyone consider it to be a fable? Perhaps because its premises are incredible? Fantastic claims require fantastic evidence to support them. Christians seem to accept, prima facie, these claims. Where is the evidence to show the world flooded above it's tallest peak? Where did the water come from, where did it go?

The story is obviously a fable, however Christianity has painted itself into a theological corner using such a broad brush that they cannot walk back through it without destroying the religion itself. That's the price they pay for centuries of fear based control.

Odd.

There are no accounts of "men" living hundreds of years there.

We also have DNA carefully extracted from remains of the period.

Little to no different than modern DNA.

So basically, the only written accounts of people living so long are from the translations of the ancient biblical texts that we have today.

These people had the same set of instructions as our bodies, yet were so markedly different that they had lifespans multiples of ours.

We also have no grave markers from the time that even hint at ages in the "hundreds" of years, that I am aware of.

All we have is some people's intepretation of the old testament and no corroberating evidence.
