Why Is Noah's Ark Possible

In Genesis, we are engaged with an omnipresent, omniscient, and omnipotent God. The Lord saw all the evil upon the earth and devised a plan to cleanse it and start anew with a righteous man named Noah and his family. The Lord’s plan consisted of a flood to destroy the earth and all the evil in and on it. He instructed Noah how to build an ark, so his family and two of each animal, male

Almost every religion in the world has a story about the “Great Flood” which destroys the earth, and each teaches its followers a different story about this disaster. While the Babylonians have the story of Utnapishtim from the Epic of Gilgamesh, the Judeo Christians have Noah from the Bible. Both men save a few people and many animals. In these stories, Noah and Utnapishtim seem to have similar situations, but a further analysis shows how truly different the two stories are.

In “Noah Count and the Arkansas Ark”, Gary Blackwood demonstrates the value of education and how the narrators’ point of view regarding his family’s lack of education changes over the course of the story. This story could demonstrate the story of Noah’s Ark, from the Bible. At the beginning of the story, the author demonstrates the family’s lack of education and how the people in his community thought that his father didn’t know what he was doing. By the end of the story, the narrators’ perspective of his family’s lack of education has changed.

In both Gilgamesh and Noah and the Flood, man’s wickedness leads to death, destruction, and rebirth all caused by billions of gallons of water sweeping the earth’s surface. The flood in both stories destroys most of mankind. The floods represent rebirth and a new beginning for mankind, as well as the gods and God’s wrath. In Gilgamesh the gods decide to destroy mankind by flooding the earth for six days and nights. Utnapishtim is chosen to build a boat in order to restart mankind after the flood. In the Bible God also decides to flood the earth due to the increase in wickedness. God chooses Noah to build an ark and store seven pairs of every clean animal and two of every other kind of animal on it

God also told Noah about the plan for the flood, and what he was to do with the ark. Noah, his wife, his sons, and his sons wives would all be on the ark an spared from the destruction the flood would cause. Along with his family, God wanted Noah to bring two of all living creatures, one male, and one female. Brining a male and a female of each kind of creature would allow them to reproduce and repopulate their species. The last thing God commanded Noah to do was to take every kind of food that is to be eaten and stored for his family and the creatures.

Ea told Utnapishtim to build a boat, “Of seven stories each with nine chambers” (Gilgamesh 10). The boat was also to be cube shaped and able to hold food, wine, minerals, his family, and the “seed of living animals” (Gilgamesh 10). Similarly, God instructed Noah to build an ark of cypress with rooms. It has to be “three hundred cubits long, fifty cubits wide and thirty cubits high” (Genesis 6:15). The ark also contained upper, middle, and lower decks, and a door on the side. Both had been told how the boat should be built by a divine figure, but God’s instructions to Noah were different than those given to Utnapishtim.

“In the beginning Almighty God created heaven and earth and everything that goes with them and, last of all, two human beings, Adam and Eve, from who have come families. Their progeny multiplied and spread over all the world” (p. 83). As time passed, some people were good and obedient to God’s commandments, however, some people were not. They turned to a life of sin. God did not create heaven and earth for people to misbehave, so he sent a destructive flood to “drown the world and all creatures living in it” (p. 84). Before He drowned the world, God has Noah build an ark so that he could save

God gives Noah very precise commands; for example, “Make yourself an ark of gopher wood . . . This is how you are to make it: the length of the ark 300 cubits, its breadth 50 cubits, and its height 30 cubits” (Genesis 6:14-15). From the type of wood with which to build to the number of animals allowed in the boat, Noah must submit to God or face the same consequence for disobedience as the rest of humanity. Emphasizing God’s desire for humanity’s obedience, four reiterations of the sentence first offered in Genesis 6:22, “Noah did this; he did all that God commanded him,” are present in the textual account of Noah. Noah’s obedience was great, and for that he is rewarded: God not only saves Noah, his wife, his children, and his grandchildren, but also establishes a covenant with him to last all generations. To Noah God

“Noah’s Ark” is one of the most well known biblical events to ever occur. The story was, and is still highly influential to all of us as kids. It showed us the magnificence of our creator’s power and the amazing things that he is capable of, nonetheless over the years some of us have started to lose sight of the true power of God and have started to underestimate him. My goal is to restore forgotten thoughts of the ark's incredible story and show how the ark is in fact real.

“By faith Noah, being warned by God about things not seen yet, in reverence prepared an ark for the salvation of his household, be which he condemned the world, and became an heir of the righteousness which is according to faith” - Hebrews 11:7. The directions God gave Noah was “So God said to Noah, “I am going to put an end to all people, for the earth is filled with violence because of them. I am surely going to destroy both them and the earth. So make yourself an ark of cypress wood; make rooms in it and coat it with pitch inside and out. This is how you are to build it: The ark is to be three hundred cubits long, fifty cubits wide and thirty cubits high.

My purpose here in writing is to acquaint you with the full account of the corruption of man and of ministry of Noah. The corruption was culminated by the story of Noah, the Ark and the flood. To include the proper settings and details, we can properly discern what Moses has outlined in this passage on Genesis 6, 7, 8. The story of Noah and the ark is world famous. The message is of a managerial and overseer. Even today, we are so fascinated, by this story that a theme park in the US state of Kentucky has unveiled a 510-foot-long (155 metre-long) wooden model of Noah's Ark. The ark was built by Christians who said they believe the bible story of Noah and the Ark.

In the biblical story of Noah’s Ark, there is a moral truth found. This moral truth is God will protect those who have faith, obedience , and believe in him. Firstly, this shown by God speaking to Noah telling him to build an ark, in reason of Noah showing his righteous to God. God see’s that the earth is corrupt along with telling Noah, “ I have determined to make an end of all flesh…make yourself an ark of [Evergreen] wood. ”(Genesis 6: 9-14).

The story of Noah’s Ark isn’t very long in the book of Genesis but Darren Aronofsky comes through again with a well-produced film. To elongate it into a two-hour movie he had to add a lot of fluff and drama. While watching this movie the one thing that really stood out to me was how mean and aggressive Noah was. In Genesis he’s depicted as a six hundred year old (Gen 7.11) man taking the ultimate leap of faith and listening to gods every word. Noah strays away from his biblical roots and in acts of malice inhibits his son from bringing along a girl while also declaring he must slay his other sons firstborn child.

Is the Noah’s Ark story true or just a nice fairytale? There are many questions that people wonder about this biblical story but one of the major ones that people are asking is, could the boat stay afloat with all of the animals in it? A lot of science goes into answering this question. Scientist have discovered that in order to float, the object has to exert the same amount of force on the water as the weight of the water it displaces. If the object had a greater density than the water it would sink. They calculated that the empty boat would have no problem at all staying afloat on the ocean. The ark was about the size of a very small cargo ship. It was discovered that the ark could hold about 2.15 million sheep and sill stay afloat. There

Although Noah is aware of his illnesses, many individuals who are diagnosed with psychological disorders are capable of comprehending their mental state. Self-awareness is not equivalent to rationality; for example, a person may know that they are schizophrenic and still believe that their hallucinations are reality during their episodes. Therefore, Noah’s interaction with the person who he perceives as God and the experience he has building the Ark could potentially be a recollection of a fantasy resulting from a mental illness, rather than a realistic
