I've seen so many videos of atheists marveling over the Egyptian pyramids and how advanced their civilization must have been to build them, but those same people say it's ridiculous to believe Noah could have built the ark.
That's because there are actual pyramids in existence. You can see them in Egypt. Same with Machu Picchu, Stonehenge or any number of ancient wonders. There is no ark for anyone to see, and there never was.
@@donlimoncelli6108 I guess you didn't follow the argument. What does finding it have to do with the possibility of it being built? The argument was people saying something like that couldn't be built at that time...but yea, those are all STRUCTURES made of stone, so you'd expect them to still be there. Stone doesn't rot and decay the way wood does.
@@bluebucket822 The argument is as follows: "People marvel over how the pyramids were built by ancients but refuse to believe Noah built an ark." My reply is: We can go to Egypt and see the pyramids and as we see them, we can marvel over how such a massive edifice could have been built. Can we go somewhere to see an ark and perhaps marvel over it? No. The OP also brings in a red herring and says, "Atheists marvel over ancient things like the pyramids." By saying that, he is equating something tangible (the pyramids) with something that does not have a shred of evidence for it ever having existed. Disbelieving in Noah having built an ark does not depend on faith, as if "atheists would believe if only they had enough faith." No, disbelieving in Noah and his boat depends on there being zero evidence for their existence, unlike the pyramids.
Love listening to Joe. He brings Genesis to life. His mixture of spiritual accompanied by science is a real eye opener. I've listened to his verse by verse all the way through from Genesis to Revelation at least 4 times. I learn something I missed earlier everytime.
Where did God come from and what existed before God? Did God come from nothing, or something. Was God created , or was he the product of evolution. Was there an even greater God who created your God? Just accepting God and the word of the Bible is easy but it is also a cop out. Man has an enquiring brain and seeks the truth through science.
@@philiprobinson2011 You obviously have no comprehension of the concept of eternity or you wouldn't ask that. I'm not supposed to debate the existence of God. The fool says there is no God. Also, Do not answer a fool in his folly. So.....
One of the primary arguments that I have about depictions of the ark is that it is always portrayed as a boat, but God didn't tell Noah to build a boat, He told him to build an "ark," and the word "ark" means a "box."
Yes...and an ark with a single small window....which means every human within the ark would have died of gas poisoning from those animals' waste material....
@@heels-villeshoerepairs8613 Facepalm... Technically, yes. My point was that I doubt that it was built with a pointed bow and stern, a keel, and other components particular to boats, with the exception of water-proofing.
Living here in the UK and having travelled to most of Europe and Israel I have seen buildings, temples and constructions easily 2000 years old and older. I have marvelled at the craftsmanship and intelligence of this ancients knowing how difficult it would be to recreate these things today and am left in no doubt that the ancients could easily have made wondrous things that we can’t imagine.
What does your comment prove 🤷♂️. Are you a believer in this myth. I also watch ancient aliens. Science can’t explain how some of these structures were built. Does that prove aliens built these structures or do you say we don’t know.

And every person who asked how kangaroos hopped all the way to Australia without leaving a single remain is a troll.

I just want to say, I am a shipbuilder of 16 years. The longest vessel we've built was 800+ feet long. Constructing something that size from wood is astronomical! God's time is different, we have thousands of people building these ships. Noah and his family are a true inspiration.
@@getmulah619 How about thou shall not lie.The biggest wooden ship EVER built was the Wyoming and that was 449 ft, You have NEVER built an 800 ft ship.
They literally lived longer than we do now , 100,s of years, so 50 to 75 years to build a boat was a blip in their life, like when we rebuild a classic car.
After looking at the graffiti of Pompeii and the British bullock knife, I've realized that people are people, 2000 years ago or 1000 years ago. People are people.

I think that Calvin Smith did an exceptional job of presenting this subject. In the day and age we live in I thank God for the christian leaders that have been called to defend the faith.
There is zero evidence for a global flood. In fact, if you have studied any geology at all you will know it is utterly impossible for a global flood to have occurred 4,000 yrs ago.

I always wonder about Jesus simply saying "Follow Me", and then the apostles one by one would drop everything and followed him. I found this amazing article and I was balling my eyes out, because it gave me a whole new appreciation for His love for us. 😥😇😥💕 It's called: "MAY YOU BE COVERED WITH THE DUST OF YOUR RABBI" In the New Testament a Rabbi would call a new disciple by saying, “Follow Me,” it meant from that time forward their life would change drastically as they would be dead to their old life and alive to their new life. They would literally leave everything they knew and begin to follow their new teacher. ~If you were called to follow a Rabbi, you would be taking their set of rules and their teaching upon you, with the idea that one day you would perpetuate their ideas to future generations. A Rabbi’s set of teachings in that day was called their “yoke.” This is what Jesus was talking about when he said, “Come unto Me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for … For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light” (Matthew 11:28-30). The Rabbis of Jesus’ day put a heavy yoke loaded with burdens on men and did not help to lift them. ~Around the age of 14 or 15 years old, the young men would finish their schooling and the Rabbis would go to these schools and question these young men. They would then choose the best of the best to be their disciples and would call them using the same phrase that Jesus used, “Follow Me.” The Rabbi wanted to find out if you had what it takes to spread his yoke. The new disciple would then leave his hometown and everything he knew, and would follow him everywhere, giving his life to be exactly like his Rabbi. The student would follow the Rabbi and literally imitate him in every way, especially his teaching and mannerisms. ~As one would leave and begin to follow, others would say to him, “May you be covered with the dust of your Rabbi.” The students followed him so closely that the dust from the road that came from the feet of the Rabbi would cover the disciple. That should be the desire of every disciple of Christ, to walk so close to him that we would be covered with his dust. ~If a young man was rejected by the Rabbi, he would say to him, “Go home, have children, and pray that they may become a Rabbi. Go home and ply your trade (go home and learn the family business).” ~Matthew 4:18-22 describes Jesus calling four of his disciples to follow him, “And Jesus, walking by the sea of Galilee, saw two brethren, Simon called Peter, and Andrew his brother, casting a net into the sea: for they were fishers. ~(Why were these men fisherman, because they were not chosen to be a potential Rabbi; they were plying their trade.) And he saith unto them, Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men. And they straightway left their nets, and followed him. And going on from thence, he saw other two brethren, James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother, in a ship with Zebedee their father, mending their nets; and he called them. And they immediately left the ship and their father, and followed him. ~Jesus calling these young men was just the same as saying, “I believe you can be like me and I believe you have potential, you have what it takes. I believe God can use you.” This was one of the greatest privileges in their culture. ~Imagine you were on the shore when this scene unfolds. Jesus walks by and calls James and John, the sons of Zebedee, they drop everything and immediately begin to follow Jesus. I would have thought that their father would have said, “… you kids now a days, running off, leaving me with all this work, where do you think you’re going.” Nothing like that was spoken. I imagine that Zebedee ran home and said something like this, “The boys aren’t with me mom, a Rabbi, Jesus of Nazareth, came along and called our boys, and he thinks that they have what it takes to be a Rabbi someday.” Maybe the next morning, he sees the usual men preparing for the day’s work that is ahead of them and he can’t wait to brag on his sons. I assure you that this became the talk of the town, Zebedee’s family stock soared that day, and this is what every father dreamed of for his son. ~I often wondered why Peter would get out of a perfectly good boat in the middle of a storm. His Teacher was not in the boat and he wanted to be just like him, so he stepped out and walked on the water. Peter would rather be surrounded by the waves and be with Jesus than to be in a safe boat without him. Peter wanted to be covered with the dust of his Rabbi, to follow Him. What Jesus did, Peter wanted to do, where Jesus was, Peter wanted to be. May you be covered with the dust of your Rabbi! ~I was just thinking about how Jesus washed His dust off of the feet of his disciples. They were dirty, because they followed so closely behind Him. It was now time for them to step up, and have the world follow what they have to say about Jesus! Yet Judas was covered in that same dust, but he decided to betray him like billions of so-called Christians today that do not obey Jesus, but are still choosing to obey their flesh! Written by Pastor Tim Bartee in Sidney. I was in church for 50 years and I never read my Bible and then 5.5 years ago I almost killed myself, and then Lord reminded me that it only takes 1 Day to Listen to the dramatized New Testament Bible. Ever since then I've been reading/listening to my Bible cover to cover every single month.. While I drive, walk, work, clean, bathe... So who needs TV or social media when we've got The Word of God that sets us free. I suddenly had a radical conversion and surrendered my ENTIRE life to Christ...after I read 1st JOHN 3:9-10, it Absolutely scared me too the core and I stopped making excuses for my sin. I was kidnapped for sex trafficking the very day that I ran away from home after my mom had murdered my twin baby sisters she said she was going to murder me. After God saved my soul that day, Now I truly love God with all my heart, all my mind, all my sou, andl all my strength. He healed my Mind Body Soul and Spirit.. Ever since then I've never experienced anger, fear, unforgiveness, guilt, shame, rejection, bitter, lustful thoughts, loneliness, worry/stress, lying, gossip, etc 🎉 I can't believe that I used to think I was Born Again, not even close, but more like a Foolish Virgin. When I go out and evangelist I just ask people to Push Play and let the TRUTH set you free!!! The area I live in is filled with so many lukewarm Christians it's heartbreaking, but Jesus said it would be this way in the last days.
Ahhhh, the fishers of men story was based on Titus began his military campaign on the SEA of Galilee and when the jews fled from them he speared them like fish and said he was a Fisher of MEN. Literally...

I really enjoyed this video. It covered a lot of the history of the Ark, as well as answered sceptics questions. I would suggest however, leaving out the background music as it distracts from the speaker, and makes listening very difficult.
Captions help pick up words said covered by music, and background noises, even in those with the heaviest of accents. FYI: "sceptics" is a stinky way of spelling "skeptics." 😎🤗😉
Also Noah lived 950 year. If he spent half his life buiding the ark with his sons it could be done. At that extended lifespan anyone could accumulate great technical engineering skill, 10× a Leonardo Da Vinci. Think about it, it took 500 years to get from the middle ages to where we are now.
@@toldyouso5588 Are you serious? If you "think about it" you come to the inescapable conclusion that humans have NEVER lived to an age of 950. In the whole of history hardly anyone has lived beyond 100, let alone spend decades hard labour building an ark half the size of the Titanic with basic tools at that age.
The Bible promotes or condones such evils as slavery, misogyny and violence. OT and NT. It is rife with contradictions and full of debunked claims. _Do you need in-context verses that prove it?_ The only time the Bible is accurate is when thrown at short distances.
You have rebuilt the ark. Take 8 volunteers, the appropiate number of animals and food and lock them up on the ark to prove that it works. That would be creation science.
some people think it was like a few weekends project, but it took years. (edit: the area of scripture shows how much geography has changed is the four rivers that branched from [Eden, Tigris, Euphrates, Pishon, and Gishon] in Genesis 2 and compare that today where the two known rivers are, the Tigris and Euphrates) look at some of histories heaviest rainfalls and then work that out for even a week which wouldn't be unrealistic by todays standards that we've seen
Hey dax, if every proto Greek civilization was wiped out in the flood, then why do we use the Greek names for the Tigris and Euphrates rivers? The Hebrews already had named them: the Tigris was called the Hiddekel, the Euphrates was called the Perat. How the hell can you get Greek names for anything if Noah and his ilk didn't speak Greek? The Greeks just weren't around back then.
@@JB-yb4wn The geeks came around 2000-3000 years after Noah's arc. Noahs arc was around 5000 BC and the earliest Greek civilization was around 2200 BC. I don't understand why you have a problem with the rivers names being greek though so you gotta elaborate.
@@rushzei FFS there were no civilizations around in 5000 BCE, Mesopotamian civilization didn't start until about 4000 BCE, Egyptians, 3000 BCE, Indus Valley 2500 BCE. The idiots who made this video say that the flood occurred in 2348 BCE, so we go from there, OK? The first Greek culture were the Minoans who were around the same time as the Egyptians, about 2800 BCE. So, braintrust, here is how it works. The Minoans were the first Greek civilization, they lived on Crete. You wipe them out, you wipe out the Greek language, the only survivors of the laughable flood were 8 Jews who already had a name for the Tigris and Euphrates river. We should know those rivers by their Hebrew names, not by their Greek names because there are no Greeks around, no Greek language. You guys ever Google stuff up? Or do you like being ignorant?
@daxconnell7661, Yes that's a good argument. In fact, the Middle East does seem to be the general area of Eden going simply by the genetic markers of how humankind spread across the Earth from that general area. Check out the book "Traced" by Dr. N.Jeanson. Also it was not merely rain that caused the flood but, the great fountains or water reservoirs of the deep, underground were broken up and spewed forth into the atmosphere. Rain cannot occur without a tiny drop of dust for the water molecules to form around. There was volcanic activity and dirt/smoke released into the air, possibly produced by meteors or a huge earthwide earthquake. The resulting dust and heavy tropical vapor in the air turned into rain. Between the underground water and the water coming down from the sky every hill was covered. The mountains such as the Alps or the Rockies formed as a result of tectonic upheaval and magma spread. If you look at the topography under the oceans you can see where the earth literally was split apart. It was a truly cataclysmic event. Amazing the human race and the animal ancestors survived at all. The Ark was massive and masterfully engineered by God.
Today's post flood world is nothing like the pre-flood world. The world that then existed was destroyed. We have little idea but imagination what it might have looked like.
all renderings of the ark show it to be wood colored but scripture says that noah coated the ark inside and out with pitch (genesis 6:14) to waterproof it, so the ark would actually be black as tar , i bet it was a very eerie looking vessel indeed
The questions I ask are:- If “god” is so powerful, knowledgeable, so clever that it can (supposedly) create the universe and everything in it..including all the various life forms, then WHY did it NEED a human man, his wife, three son and their wives, to build a giant ship, fill it with animals (from the largest elephant, to the smallest beetle/ant/spider/worms (whatever animal life was around at the time)), provide all the required foodstuffs and water for each creature, suitable habitat? Where did Noah and his family get all that timber, how did they cut and shape it? Where did they get all the hundreds of gallons of “pitch” from? Pitch is a product of petroleum, so how did they process and extract it? Supposedly it then rained for forty days and nights, (murdering uncounted millions of people), meaning the ship had to be sealed against the elements! Where did those untold billions of gallons of water come from? So what did they use for illumination, naked flames wouldn’t be advisable, too much flammable material, how did they keep the air breathable, how did they feed all the thousands of animals and get rid of their waste, WITH JUST EIGHT PEOPLE, when, apparently they were confined in an unpowered/unsteered/unstable wooden box drifting on a world girdling ocean, being blown in all directions by wind and tide, for, if the bible is to be believed, about a year! Then, somehow, all those untold billions of gallons of water “receded (where to)” And the ship landed on top of a mountain, from which all those thousands of animals were distributed round the world….a world that was WATER LOGGED and basically unusable! So, no access to food or clean water! Mountains of stinking mud and rotting flesh and vegetation! Why do religionists never seem able or willing to answer those and other relevant questions with anything other than a variation of “it’s “god’s”will”!
The World is not what science tells us it is. The flood began and ended when 'The Fountains of THe Deep" opened and closed. Where does all the water go when you empty a pool? Its a similar concept. The water rushed in from 3 places. Rains, Fountains, and the Windows of Heaven. God has told us numerous times that there is water all around us surrounded by a Firmament.
It's great to have questions but as much as archaeology and history may try, much facts of the past is unknown. All anyone can do is speculate as is the case with any unknown event(s) from the past. One is left to his or her speculations and many have been proffered. For example, you ask, where did the billions of gallons of water go? This answer is clear. Pay a visit to an ocean. It's still there! Seventy-one percent of the Earth's surface is covered with water. In fact the Titanic ship is nearly 5 Km deep in water off the coast of Newfoundland, Canada. If the land masses today were levelled off and filled all the ocean trenches, the water would cover all land to a depth of nearly 1 Km. This is one of your questions answered. The "untold billions of gallons of water receded to" fill the oceans which exist to this day.
@@mckillalaberry Its under the earth. THe Firmament is surrounding us and protects us from the waters above and below us. The flood was from 3 sources of water The Fountains, the Windows of HEaven, and rainfall.
@@blackholeentry3489 I know, but i personally don't like to let them have their bubble. They certainly have no problem injecting their ignorant view and hate wherever they go.
It’s fascinating that ppl try and apply logic to biblical stories like this. You either believe something supernatural happened or not. There is no logical way to explain Noah’s Ark or Jonah surviving inside a fish or Jesus being born from a virgin.
Noah's ark isn't physically impossible, it says in the book of Jonah that he went to hell, and admittedly, it took a supernatural act of God to cause Mary to become pregnant with Jesus.
Who gathered all the food for the animals? And who cleaned up after them? Have you ever been to see animals in cages after a month in captivity? With 8 humans on board? And 6 thousand species?
No one, because they all would have died from scurvy within about two months, as hundreds of thousands of sailors did in long periods at sea beginning in the so-called Age of Discovery.
It's why it's a story and never happened. Basic logistics for a group of 8 would have prevented them from ever sleeping. And with the claims God took care of them is just the religious person's answer to we don't know so god did it. Science has already thrown the ark story out the window for being absolutely bs.
What did the carnivores eat AFTER the alleged flood? For example, the lions, coming off the ark, would have quickly killed and eaten the gazelles (that being the nature of carnivores). It takes time to repopulate near-extinct species, and they have to eat in the meantime. "God did it" is not an answer.
Then why is an innocent child abuse victim locked in solitary confinement with a media ban being tortured by the english parliament. Why was Teresa May's dad, Hubert Brasier in charge of the biggest child rapist ring in the history of the english church and why are children still being raped and murdered by the english parliament and no one but me saying anything about it. God is not good at all, Hubert was literally in charge of thousands of rapes against children as the head of the diocese for the south coast of england and your good god helped him rape children, he was never arrested himself because he committed suicide but all his priests were arrested. Melanie Shaw was locked in solitary confinement with a media ban 4 years ago for taking to the streets with a megaphone exposing the child rapists and child murderers running england right now. Melanie had her hand slammed in a cell door cutting off 2 of her fingers and is being tortured in prison right now thanks to your good god.
This was well put together, but I didn't hear any answers to the questions he said that skeptics would have. Yes, how did all the animals and living creatures fit in the ship? He said it was 500 plus feet by 85 ft by 51 ft? Or somewhere around there. How many animals can fit in that, and what did the carnivores eat? You know, like the lions and the T-Rex? Where did the animals go to the bathroom during this year? Also, with a pair of every single creature or species sitting inside, did they not move for a year? He said the Ark was about the size of a midsized cargo ship, but a midsized cargo ship is filled up with cargo from one small place transporting to another. During the year journey, did the animals not reproduce? If every living thing on land died, then there was no vegetation. What did the plant eating animals eat when they got off the boat? When the meat eaters got hungry and ate a cow or a chicken, wouldn't they be effectively wiping out an entire species? I'm confused. Can you please answer these questions I have? I would love to understand, but I can not just believe it because someone wrote it in a book. I would honestly love to be educated on this and find common ground. Thank you for your video and time.
They can't answer any questions because it didn't happen. None of it makes any logical sense if you ask questions and think about it. The original story was a great river flood and a merchant family survived on their river barge.

@@pfwag I'm not saying that there can't be some type of "God". There probably is even from a scientific stand point. My point is, most of the Bible stories are clearly wrong and made up. Like Zeus, or and other God stories. Science proves they are wrong. We evolved and the earth is over 5 billion years old. That's a fact. So start there.
Not that many life forms were on the arc and the really big ones were small juveniles. These would have been the prehistoric ancestors of all animals today. For example a pair of grey wolves from which all dogs descended from. The many species around today were not around then. Back then people and animals were vegetarians so a significant part of the arc was for storing hay, grasses, etc for the animals. A smaller area was for the human food like beans, lentils, grains, dried vegetables and fruits. In cold countries cows don't leave the barn for half the year but they still survive. Noah and the seven others were very busy taking care of all the animals. This all is common sense and faith isn't required to figure things out.
Actually China in the 1300's & early 1400's did build ships of the size of the ark (even before that but the previous ones were river going vessels for war)... but they did use massive bamboo. When the sea disaster struck and destroyed the Chinese world exploration & tribute fleer, that event caused the priests to tell the rulers to isolate from the outer kingdoms of the world, the remaining ships were destroyed and were never built again.
No they did not, sorry. The largest wooden boat in history was the Wyoming, built in Maine to run coal. It floundered and sank after 11 years of sporadic service in which the pumps had to be run constantly
No they never as is physically impossible for a ship made of wood to work mechanically and with physical laws, Noah`s arc has been debunked so many times it is not funny , My peoples record of last sea level rise is on complete opposite in to both Gilgamesh and christianity. My peoples record of the flood has been verified bye marine geologists, where is the scientific verification for a global flood.
Why do you people try to prove the impossible using pseudoscience when you have a magic god that could just click his magical fingers and place every animal and plant on earth in a second.

It was a huge rectangular box Look at the other ark in the Bible It’s a large and precise ( and gold plated) rectangular box Noah’s ark was large and solid It had no steering mechanism It was waterproof And it floated And it housed all of the types of animals God is great !
Great video. I agree with you 100%. You’re so right. The problem for most people not believing is that they have no knowledge who the GOD of The Bible really is. If you are the type of person who says to yourself “that’s a lie because there’s no GOD”. So, of course; you’re going to doubt everything you hear about GOD, but for those that believe it is the power of GOD. Just because an animal was huge (like the host said), he could’ve brought aboard young ones or the eggs. For all of us that believe, there’s nothing impossible for GOD. Yes, The Bible is full of silly and unbelievable stories, and GOD knew this; but HE made them like that to confound the wise. For those who read this comment I’m going to write down a Chapter and verse in The Bible so you can read it, because my time is limited, but read it so you can understand GOD better. The Apostle Paul wrote this in - 1 Corinthians 1: 27-29. This is for those who question GOD. I know the young man (host) that posted this, does believe in The GOD of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob (Israel). May THE LORD GOD and HIS SON JESUS CHRIST bless you, your family, and all your viewers. I’m asking GOD for a very special blessing for those that still don’t believe in THE LORD. My friends, time is running out, and whether you believe GOD or not; HIS SON JESUS will be coming very soon to take to Heaven those that do believe. You don’t want to be left behind. I’m pleading with you. If you would only put down your skepticism and your pride, you can also meet HIM, and not be left behind. I don’t know who you are, but if you’re human; JESUS came and die for you on the cross, so you could be saved and not be sent to hell for eternity. Sounds hard right? But GOD is HOLY my friend, and nothing around HIM can be dirty or sinful. This war with ISRAEL was prophesied a long time ago and it signals the beginning of the end. You still have time. May JESUS open your heart. Amen!!! 🙏🕊️❤️
Where did God come from and what existed before God? Did God come from nothing, or something. Was God created , or was he the product of evolution. Was there an even greater God who created your God? Just accepting God and the word of the Bible is easy but it is also a cop out. Man has an enquiring brain and seeks the truth through science.
I know exactly who god is. A made up deity, just like the other ~3000 gods that have been worshiped. Please provide actual evidence of your god's existence. I will wait!

I'm 66 years old, I have seen the downfall of many wicked people who rejected salvation with Jesus. I read the Bible on a daily basis and I see the darkness increasing and the wickedness of humanity increasing. The pattern of behavior in wicked people usually leads to their downfall or death.
reading the bible is what made me an atheist. Likely it is a difference of me being better educated and with an open mind and an ability to think critically.
since I rejected belief in the bible god after decades of belief, my character remains unchanged and my life continues filled with love and great experiences with friends. I left the darkness behind.
@@ort8410 It's only "not even a mildly tough question" if you are too incredibly lazy to think about the logistics. I suggest you think just a LITTLE harder, then come back and reassess your opinion. Here's a couple of facts to help you along: 1. There were a maximum of 8 people on the ark for an entire year. 2. Every single species of animal was also on the ark, many with very specific dietary/care requirements if they were to survive the conditions on board. 3. According to the bible, the ark had ONE window. 4. One pair of elephants (male and female) produces roughly 100 tonnes of excrement per year. So do some maths, and let me know how difficult the task would be based on your calculations. Or of course you could simply admit you're too lazy to bother with actual facts and would rather entertain a fantasy that is not remotely concordant with reality.
@IKLEANV I couldn't agree more. Atheists need an answer for the existence of life, so they picked the theory of evolution, which in the end has become their religion.
@IKLEANV Ya I'm petrified. Oh hang on I'll blink out of exit same as you. There's 4200 religion in the world today, I don't believe any of them, you don't believe in 4199 of them 😁
The ark refutes itself (as the replica it's not ark, it's a building). And Ken didn't get himself and a few of his friends, 8 in total (all unskilled in boat making) to build an actual ark using the primitive tools of the time period it was supposedly built. Nor is it actually filled with millions of live species of animals and the different foods to feed them with 8 people actually feeding them.
Ken Ham's Ark: Designed on _scientific_ computers. Built by a 1000-person skilled workforce, using power tools. All materials delivered by gas-engined vehicles over paved roads. Held together with factory-fabricated and tested metal brackets and fasteners. Plastic plumbing, electric lighting and modern HVAC. Supported by reinforced concrete pillars on a solid cement base. The whole thing wrapped in Tyvek. No live animals. Nowhere near water. Ken single-handedly proved the Ark could never have existed.
So you think people lived for 1,500 years or 2,000 years or so before the flood building cities and yet still only had primitive tools? And primitive transportation?? Each person lived far longer than now days. So each person had more time to invent and develop, and share knowledge. Knowledge would have been great and scientists and schools prolific. Since they lived far longer they alsomwould reproduce far longer having massive families/tribes. There would have been billions of people building cities and schools and universities. They also had become skilled in evil, corrupt, violent and likely at war with each other. Completely lacking in morals. Theirs thoughts evil, even from their youth up. All knowledge of right and wrong squelched and reasoned away, mocked and called archaic; Everything subjective, innocence stolen and seared consciences. Everybody doing what is righting their in their own eyes and survival of the fittest. Lawless. That is why they were destroyed.

I was encouraged to hear someone else talk about the likely degeneration of man (and creation) since the fall and the likelihood of the pre-flood world being one continent. These are two ideas I thought were in keeping with my study of the Bible (as a possibility) but have not heard anyone else present. Obviously this cannot be dogma but it is a concept that seems fitting with Scripture. I’ve been seriously ridiculed online the few times I suggested sin may have affected us even genetically over time.

If that's inconvenient then they say they simply do not know, but it takes faith to believe either one, and they would rather have no morals and live in wickedness than serve a God with hope.
@@andysmith-vi1bo Simply telling something and twisting facts is not the truth. It's a lot more intelectually honest to say you don't know something when you don't. Instead of blindly accepting something by faith. Also why would anyone who doesn't believe in a God have no morals, and are biblical morals any better? I'm willing to bet that there are as many wicked "believers" as "non-believers". Now I believe in what the evidence or data shows, not a book that was written down ages after the events it describes. Most Christians also accept Evolution, and since the bible loves to be vague about things it does not interfere with their religion. Also thought Christianity revolved around forgiveness but somehow they always seem awfully judgemental.

Actually one has to ignore biology and geology to accept the Big Bang or evolution. DNA science has shown us that there is no natural path for evolution from a simple cell to complex life as mutations almost if not always leads to death and destruction of dna. No mechanism of adding information to DNA. There is no natural mechanism to take matter and it turn to life. Zero. Life is devolving not evolving. Nor is there a single example of one kind of animal changing to another kind.
@@Jewonastick yes, of course, people believe it because we’ve actually studied the subject. Unlike people that are just opinionated without any further investigation. Take yourself, for example could you name even a single current prediction of our model? That is probably asking even to much. Let’s use baby steps and start with the most basic of questions: Do you even know how we explain the diversity of life? No. No you do not because if you did you would know even more about the subject.
Even if all the animals of the world were rounded up no one dares talk about how much food were required let alone the specialist food. Bamboo for pandas and gum trees for koalas, for example. Let someone work out how all this was done and jammed into a craft. When this story was told people only had a limited understanding of their world.
The animals could have been in a hibernation mode during their time on board the ark, which would have solved the problem of needing to be fed. There's nothing too hard for God!
Pandas are apart of the bear kind, it could be that pandas were not on board the ark at all but rather a different bear like the black bear. so no need for specialized food.
FYI: Bamboo and eucalyptus are not the natural diet of pandas and koalas. The other two answers are also good, but do yourself a favour and visit Ark Encounter. When you see it's immensity, you'll grasp how probable the storing of sufficient food was. And because the animals were juniors, their diet would've been considerably less. And yes, the issue of food storage was tackled at the exhibit.
@@alfyr.e.meyerakaa.r.e.m.4434 Well you try and feed Pandas without 99% of their diet.However their digestive system is typical of a carnivore, so the remaining 1% of their diet can include eggs, small animals and carrion. Koalas eat a variety of eucalypt leaves and a few other related tree species, including lophostemon, melaleuca and corymbia species (such as brush box, paperbark and bloodwood trees)
young animals would be easier to keep them from attacking each other also,as hunting etc needs to be learned first.Of course God kept all peaceful also.
For all we know, the animals may have become quite docile and in a state of low energy, hibernation like state through the year of darkness and rocking in the ark.
Yes, the explanation that "the animals came to him" solves the problem of how Noah got animals from around the world onto the ark. Now we have a whole new set of problems as a result. It is 1000 miles of ocean from Australia to mainland Asia. Koalas can't swim. And from there another 7000 miles over land to the Middle East. How did they navigate? We know they had no compasses. The overland trek would have taken 6 or 7 years. Koalas would have died before completing the trip. And then there is the matter of food. Koalas eat eucalyptus leaves exclusively. There are no eucalyptus trees on the way. And any 9 year old koala that happened to make it to the Middle East and survived the flood had another 8000 mile, 7 year journey return trip back.
@@calvinsmith7575 The point I was making appears to have been lost on you. The point was that people make up reasons to explain something; their explanation is not only unsupported by any evidence, but it leads to even more things that now need to be explained. You are making up the point about Australia not existing. There is no proof of that and lots of proof that it has existed for millions of years. So now explain how Australia came about in the last 4000 years. - The aboriginal people have lived there continuously for at least 40,000 years. Explain this anomaly. - There are rock wall paintings that are 35,000 years old. Explain this anomaly. - Animals like marsupial tigers, kangaroos, koalas and quokkas have not spread out from Australia to mainland Asia, which they would be expected to do if Australia was attached to Asia, but which is expected if they were separated from Asia for millions of years and evolved independently. The same thing happens in islands all over the world like Madagascar. Explain this anomaly. - Plate tectonics does not support Australia being joined to Asia any time in the recent past. To separate that quickly would have caused enormous volcanism, tsunamis and earthquakes, none of which is in the bible record or the natural record. Explain this anomaly.
@@mmaimmortals To assume that a koala could make it to the Middle East and back would require logic underpinned by unwarranted assumptions, such as that the koala would live long enough, that it could physically accomplish the feat, and that it would be able to eat along the way. Here are the things you consider "unwarranted assumptions " but which you did not research yourself before saying that: 1. Sea distance: Koalas live in northern Australia. From Somerset on the northern tip of Queensland to the nearest part of the Asian mainland (Singapore) is 4400 km or 2732 miles (I was being very generous saying it was 1000 miles). Wildcare Australia says this regarding koalas’ swimming ability: “Although koalas can swim, if there are no assisted ways for a koala to climb out they will drown.” Koalas sometimes die when they fall into swimming pools because "if there are no assisted ways for a koala to climb out they will drown.” 2. Land distance: I said there was another 7000 miles to the Middle East. The distance from Singapore to Jerusalem is 7761 miles. 3. Time to take to get to the Middle East: Koalas are slow. From the Queensland Department of Environment and Science: “When koalas are on the ground, they walk slowly as they are poorly adapted to walking on the ground.” In addition, koalas sleep 20 hours a day. If a koala were to walk for 2 hours at 2 miles per hour and spend the other 2 hours looking for food and eating, then they would travel 4 miles per day. It would take 2000 days for a koala to walk 7700 miles, or 5.5 years, close enough to my figure of 6 years. 4. The matter of food. Koalas eat eucalyptus, and very occasionally, when eucalyptus is not available, will eat lophostemon, melaleuca, or corymbia. - Eucalyptus are found in Australia, with a very few in New Guinea and Indonesia. There are none on the Asian mainland. - Lophostemon are limited to a small area in Western and Northern Australia. There are none on the Asian mainland. - Melaleuca are found on the east coast of Australia and New Guinea. There are none on the Asian mainland. - Corymbia is found in Australia and a few surrounding islands. There are none on the Asian mainland. A koala would starve on the way. 5. Making the trip out and back. I said “...any 9 year old koala that happened to make it to the Middle East and survived the flood…” A koala would not be able to make it to the Near East as a newborn joey, as it takes one year to mature. So if one started out as a one-year old, it would be 7 years old when it got there. After a year on an ark, it would be 8 years old. Koalas live to be 10 to 12 years old. With the return trip taking about six years, the 8-year-old koala would be 14 by the time it returned. It would die before getting back. That is just koalas. Ringtail possums, quokkas and tasmanian devils live shorter lives, and tasmanian devils would have an even longer trek than koalas. Please, please, please consider thinking critically about things like this.
@@donlimoncelli6108 Those details are not what I was referring to as unwarranted assumptions. Calvin already pointed this out, but you’re mixing IC’s from your world view with the IC’s of the creation position. That is not how to make a valid argument against a model. People have been moving animals all over the planet for thousands of years. Will you tell me I have no evidence for this? The reasons are quite varied. Domestication, agriculture, food supply, commercial trade, gifts, hunting, war, study, clothing, tools, medicine, accidental passenger, and on and on. Your unwarranted assumption is that Australia was 4400 years ago where it is today. The secularists have the continents all together at some point in the past, and so do many (not all) creationists. You’re also assuming the Ark started in the ME. But there is no Biblical text or any other line of evidence to indicate this is true. The Bible doesn’t say where the Ark started, only (approximately) where it ended. If the continents were all together pre-Flood, and people moved animals all over the planet pre-Flood like they do today, then there is no way to know how far any particular kind of animal had to travel to get to the Ark. Post Flood is a different story. But, by actually reading the Genesis text, you might find that it implies that people were instructed to assist the animals in their dispersal. By all means, think critically. And avoid the unwarranted assumptions.
did you know the poles do change direction and negative becomes positive and vice versa. This fact would account for the water moving due to the electrical magnetism shift of the poles.
Sandy, You can see the scar and the matching contours on google earth. It’s quite precise. The Bible doesn’t give many clues about the earth after the Flood, but some basic physics can help clarify some things. There was almost certainly a global wobble from the land masses moving over 2000 miles from their original location.
I prefer to think that God made what are misleadingly called the Laws of Nature, and is logical and far-seeing enough to have arranged that he doesn't _*ever*_need to break them. So don't ask god to let you go faster than Einstein's 'c', nor I'm sorry to tell you, does it make sense to suspend gravity so Jesus can walk on storm-tossed water. "Misleadingly"? Human laws can be broken and sometimes the Breakers are punished. The Regularities of Nature, some of which remain to be observed, by definition can *_not_* be broken.

The only reason we exist, is cuz Noah did what AlmightyGod told him too. Without Noah and his boys, ALL of Earth would have been destroyed. Of course, you have to understand what exactly was going on in the PreFlood era, that led up to the Flood. Probably less than 10% of the citizens of Earth, understand that; yet, it is no secret, for it is published in the Bible, and expounded on in the book of Enoch, for anyone to read, who wants to..
None of us, everyone dies. “And fear not them that kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul; but rather fear Him that is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.”
There is truth to what you write. The Earth's geology demonstrates the death and destruction massive flooding is capable of. Those massive layers of water borne sediments teeming with death and destruction is a testament to the destruction the former earth experienced. That world that once was became no more. :/
Well, you have one fundamental problem if not TWO. A) If we're to believe the whole planet is really, "only 6000 years old", then you're putting the flood somewhere around 2348 BCE. There is plenty of historical, archeological and anthropological evidence showing the Egyptian, Sumerian and Chinese civilizations were doing just fine in 2348 BCE. B) The entire Genesis flood story is predated by the Epic of Gilgimesh in which a character Gilgimesh encounters, Utnapishtam, is warned by gods to build a craft in advance of a coming flood and he saves the family livestock.

It says cubits, not royal cubits, so we should assume normal cubits making the ark 450 feet by 75 feet and 45 feet high. It doesn't mention a rudder or a bow, so we should assume that it was shaped like a box. Noah had 120 years to build the ark, plenty of time for him and his sons to build it by themselves. There's nothing it the text to indicate that he used hired help. What? he found people to help him and then he let them drown? People would have either mocked him or believed in the project and want to be part of it- and then would they not want to get on the ark themselves?
Where does it say Noah had 120 years to build the ark? I don’t see that in my Bible. Genesis 5:32 says, “after Noah was 500 years old he became the father of Ham, Shem, and Japheth.” Then in Genesis 6:14 God tells him to build the ark. Then, Genesis 7:6 tells us that Noah was 600 years old when the flood came. So, it sounds to me like he had less than 100 years to build it.

This is truly one of the best videos I have seen on TH-cam in a long time. I would love to sit and debate with yourself, fairly and professionally with respect shown for both sides, as this 18 minute video raised so many contentions that outright show that the ark is nothing more than a man building a big boat thousands of years ago (if it happened at all). Due to the primitive mindset back then, a huge boat would have seemed almost supernatural, and this is to not even involve the sheer space required for these "kinds" of animals. Lastly the term "kind" is so vague as to be irrelevant as most theologians cannot even agree what it means and cannot reliably apply it to life today... so yeah, genuinely any time I would jump at the chance to visit, bathe in the culture that you have built where you are; and to hopefully video debate about this contentious issue.

@@BlackMagicWiccan simply saying the smell would have been similar. And I've never heard anyone dying from bad smells alone unless the smell is also toxic which it clearly wasn't. Also GOD was with Noah & all those on the ark. I've visited the ark Ken Ham created in Kentucky which is a similar recreation Noah made & it clearly shows that there were plenty of areas for waste to be removed from the ark & for food to be stored. Also we are not told every detail that happened during that year. God could have simply caused all the animals to sleep the entire time which would have reduced waste a great deal. Or God could have supernatually taken care of it Himself. In any case there would have been ZERO chance of any of the to die on the ark. God wouldn't save them just to have them die a few days later, LOL.
Sundials use to be referred to as an Arc or “Ark” So lengths of time were being recorded Perhaps for agricultural purposes as well as seasonal awareness
I was once told by a vicar that the term '40' which appears so often in the Bible (40 days and nights of rain, 40 years in the desert, 40 months in the wilderness, etc.) was actually a term which meant 'a long but unknown time', much as we use the term 'umpteen'. Makes sense...
Housing all those animals is one thing, how about a years worth of food for them all, and how did only 8 people care for them all? I pity the person assigned to muck out the dinosaur stalls.😂
Had AIG really wanted to prove their Ark story was true, they could have filled their Ark Encounter Ark with 2 of every "kind" of animal and 7 pairs of every "kind" of clean animal and 7 pairs of every "kind" of bird, put 8 people on board, filled the ark with food and potable water for all crew and passengers and sealed it up for a year and 17 days, "to show how it was possible". Instead they create an expensive boondoggle that proves nothing except that they couldn't build it with only 4 men and 4 women and ancient bronze age tools, and without taxpayer assistance. Point in fact, even if the highly doubtful possibility that they could prove all the "kinds" of animals could board the ship, AND that it could hold enough food and potable water (never mind space in the bilges for all that animal waste, and modern ventilation for all the methane produced). They could NOT show how the crew and passengers could survive AFTER they left the ship and entered a world where ALL LIFE WAS GONE, and the earth was sterile AND there was no fresh water. Nor any sources for fresh water because there was no snowpack to melt and produce it. The world had been covered to 5-1/2 miles deep (Mt Everest plus 15 cubits) with water that lasted the most part of a year and was highly polluted by all the debris of the catastrophic forces. (At a little more than 9 months the Dove could still find no place to land). AND they left the Ark in early spring (2nd month of Noah's 601st year), so no snowpack could even start until the next winter. No fish, no saltwater or freshwater plants, no algae, no insects, no microbial organisms or 'crawly things' to help repair the soil, and NO LISTED "MIRACLES" in the Bible to explain these issues away. The soil would have been contaminated by all the catastrophic turbulence that YECs claim to have happened to explain their make-believe pseudoscience explanations. Life would have lasted long enough for the animals to die of thirst and starvation before any crops could be harvested (or planted for that matter). NO life of any kind for years except just what came off the Ark. The carnivores MIGHT have lived a little while longer than the herbivores, but since YEC insists that there were no carnivores on the Ark, that isn't likely either.
Well, they were able to exist on the ark until the day they opened the door, which means they had everything they needed on it. There is no reason to suspect that they didn't use it for shelter afterward for a while until they got things made that they needed. There's no reason to think that there was no more rain (fresh water) or dew (fresh water) which they could have collected once the stores in the ark were gone.
First, regarding the 5.5 miles deep water, it was briefly mentioned in this video that the Earth's geography was different before the flood. It wasn't fully explained because that's not the topic for this video. In short though, Before the flood, the Earth land masses looked like Pangaea. After the flood they looked like what you see today. The mechanism that caused the flood caused a cataclysmic reorganization of the Earth's geography in a very short time. Basically what I'm saying is Mt. Everest didn't exist before the flood and the mountains mostly likely were not that tall. So the flood waters didn't need to cover all the way of up 5.5 miles deep. There are numerous videos on this channel as well as other channels, and there are numerous books and articles that explain the whole flood mechanism and process. As for the other things you mentioned, this was a survival scenario. It's not farfetched the think that the animals weren't malnourished, but nourished enough to be able to survive. While it's very possible to have animals used as food for carnivores on board, it's also possible for carnivores to survive on a mixed diet. Again they may not have digested all of it properly and may have had some issues during their time on the ark and even shortly after, but again, the ark wasn't a place to thrive and be happy, it was a survival scenario.
@@GhostRyder2008 There’s not one shred of evidence for anything you’ve just said. All of the geological evidence points to vast periods of time within the geologic column and no global flood. The Genesis flood is actually made up from two versions of the same story woven together. That’s the reason for the many contradictions.
Praise Jesus.Blessed are you my Brother. God just didnt give you love for nature but also made you a means by which several today can understand the bible from natures standpoint. Praise God for this gift😊
"understand the bible from natures standpoint" What does that even mean? The Bible is gods word you are literally putting nature before god. If one were to understand nature then you'd know that the physics of hogging and sagging make the ark impossible. The 50/500 rule is an issue which means that you need 500 of 8-16 million (kinds) of animals to fit on the ark. You and how you say things are the reason I started to doubt the Bible, so you are doing work for atheism and don't even realize it. Thank you.
We couldn't fit two pair of every species on the planet on the largest present day ship, much less all the food and freshwater necessary to maintain them all for a month or longer. Also, it takes more than just two pairs to maintain a population of animals because severe inbreeding causes numerous issues with the health of the offspring. Then you have the problem of how Noah got all the animals back to their present habitats. How did he get the koalas, kangaroos, duckbill platypus, etc. back to Australia? You guys really did not think this through, did you?
And obviously it never leaked 🤣. The Wyoming leaked and had to get it pumped out. It had metal struts along the hull to stop it twisting. Christian’s will believe anything that’s written in the bible including talking snake 🤣
I only have one question, how did they all not die within a couple days, only 1 window for ventilation means everything would have died quickly from methane suffocation.
@@Grieves0001 Nonsense. No blueprint of the ark was ever implied. Many, many details of the ark were left out of the narrative including the joinery methods, fasteners used, Iron parts and other metals, lumber sizes, ballast stones, internal bracing for strength, etc. The video correctly shows the inclusion of vents along the top of the ark altho' not specifically mentioned. No big deal. It didn't mention the shapes or existence of a bow or a transom either or how many stalls, cages and other containment areas there were either. Nor how many decks for that matter. I could go on. For all we know the ark had two bows and no transom. So what? Of course ventilation would not have been overlooked. Nor would sleeping and living quarters altho' they weren't specifically mentioned either.

@@cesariglesias297 I take it you can’t make a scientific refutation of the Genesis Flood. As for EoG, the cube described is a very unstable vessel. That’s why ships aren’t built that way. And seven days isn’t enough time to flood relatively low land areas, let alone high hills. And a reed hut doesn’t contain enough wood to build the cubicle described. If it did, it would be called a reed castle.
As far as dogs, cats, horses and the like, they would have been the base breeds that were bred AFTER the flood. Many of the breeds that we have now, did not exist.
how could they breed different animals after the flood , are you suggesting evolution ... either the animals were already there before the flood or someone is lying
@@kawasakikev8905 This guy in the video said there were dinosaurs on the ark...the ark that is clearly way too small to hold two of every animal let alone two of every dinosaur (some of which were nearly as large as the ark itself).
@@diddsdaddiddsdad6865 I wonder if the ship would have been large enough even then? Also, who fed them milk (the mammals anyways) and all that? If this ark was real and this all went down like the Bible says, I'd giving anything to see that feat of engineering and zoo keeping.
The story of Noah's Ark took place during the Neolithic Age, long before the great civilizations of Egypt, Babylon, or early China (let alone Rome). The largest boat built before that time was not more than about 30 feet long, at most. No one had ever tried to build a ship as large the ones described here. There wasn't enough quality wood in that area to begin with. And where could Noah have found enough workers? How did he pay them? It would have cost the equivalent of billions of dollars. Even Elon Musk would have a hard time paying for that. And a wooden boat that size would not be seaworthy. It would have sunk almost immediately. How did Noah summon all the animals from around the world? It's true that many species migrate seasonally between two known points (usually a place in the temperate zones and one in the tropics), but how would they locate the exact spot where the Ark was? Did they have a GPS? Many of the larger ones are herd animals (such as elephants). Could Noah have persuaded a male and a female to depart from the rest of the herd, and to set out for someplace that they had never been to before? How could they have navigated across thousands of miles of difficult, treacherous, unknown terrain, all on their own? As they approached the Ark, they'd be hunting, fighting, and killing each other. That's what animals do. Imagine trying to herd all of them up a gangplank and then inside a strange, dark, wooden structure totally unlike anything that they've ever seen. Good luck with that. Remember, these are wild animals, not domestic pets or livestock. Most large animals need more space than just a tiny cage where they can barely even stand up--and this was for an entire year. Did the Ark have enough grazing land for all the herbivores? Imagine an Ark with a ranch onboard. Animals need room to roam and play. We still haven't identified all the animal species on Earth, but to hold all of them and sustain them, the Ark would have to be at least several miles long and over a mile wide--many times larger than the biggest ship ever built. Moreover, for any species to survive and sustain itself requires more than just one male and one female. This is basic biology. Do Scriptures say that there was only one continent prior to the big flood? If so, then at least 90 percent of all these species simply would not exist. They obviously evolved on separate continents. Most of them would not have survived otherwise. And the Book doesn't explain how the continents all drifted apart to where they are today--a process that takes hundreds of millions of years, not just a few months. How did Noah gather up all the plants? The Ark would have to provide space for every plant species on the entire planet (imagine having a giant sequoia on board). Could the Ark hold enough plants to repopulate the entire world? After the flood ended, and all the animals disembarked, the land would have been totally barren. Did Noah and his sons travel all over the world, transplanting all the trees, bushes, vines, grasses, fungi, and other plants exactly where they should have been? How did they know which plant belonged in each location? Did they have a detailed map of the world? Otherwise, there would be literally nothing at all for herbivores to eat. And when a carnivore ate one of the herbivores (before it had a chance to bear young), then that particular species would become extinct. For example, suppose a lion ate one of the two surviving zebras, leaving the other with no mate. The zebra species would soon have been gone forever. And after disembarkation, how would any animal know where to go? Did someone guide them to their future abodes? If Noah and his family were the only surviving humans, then humanity would have died out, too. The gene pool would have been far too small to keep our species going. Did this one family give rise to all of the humans in the world today? Think of all the different ethnic and linguistic groups of people, from the Inuit to the Aborigines, the pygmies, the Polynesians, the Chinese, the Arabs, the Anglo-Saxons, the Tibetans, the Slavs, the Greeks, the Berbers, the tribes of the Amazon, and the Scandinavians, to name only a few. Were they all descended from Noah and his family? That process would have taken tens of thousands of years. And if we were all Noah's descendants, then all of our languages would be a lot more similar than they are today. This is a children's fairy tale. It may be plausible to a five-year-old kindergarten kid, but I don't know how any educated adult could believe it.
Spot on with your summary. Let's not forget the copious amounts of shit that had to be cleaned up on a daily basis, and deposited all thru just "one" window. Yep, great story for 5 year olds. Amazing that grown is still believe it!
No one knows what wood or quality was available preflood. All trace of that world was completely destroyed. All that's left are fossils in layers of water sediments. Regarding a boat of that size, the Chinese had built war ships that size which were seaworthy.
5:12 we gatta stick to what the Bible says. So I don't think we can just assume he hired workers. Plus this was a secret between him and God So it's not really the same as Solomons temple.
How did all the animals bugs and everything else get to the countries that they could survive in? Did someone sail around the world dropping them off with a few ants worms and all types of other critters?
They did the same thing people did: crossed the ice bridges during the ice age or floated on forrest debris which would have been around for hundreds of years.
It takes a tremendous amount of faith to believe life and all the complexity/diversity of it started on it's own . Look around you at life, REALLY LOOK. It becomes very very obvious that a Creator is the only truly logical answer .
Saying "I don't know how it all happened, therefore God must have done it!" is not remotely logical. In fact, it is actually just a very lazy "God of the gaps" answer.
Noah & his family built the ark, they were much bigger & a lot more intelligent than us, the measurements come from mosses using the egyptian cubit, noah was told to build the ark 120yrs before the flood !!!!! There was only one land mass before the flood so it was easy for the right animals to get to the ark ! The ark was found over 50 yrs ago & proven to be just that !!!
*Great commentary!* I have been awarded a "Hon. Doctor of Divinity" title, having traveled extensively into 92 countries and studied many publications in Arabic as well as English, inc. Islalm's Noble Quoran. ذَٰلِكَ ٱلْكِتَـٰبُ لَا رَيْبَ ۛ فِيهِ ۛ هُدًۭى لِّلْمُتَّقِينَ
Its got me thinking about the Grand Canyon, I remember a documentary talking about how the erosion of sediment did not occur over “millions” of years, that it happened in a very rapid manner. I got the chance to see the Grand Canyon in person and pictures do not do it justice. It was a very humbling experience as it threw my depth perception out the window. But after watching this with the great flood makes me wonder how powerful the water must have been carve out the Grand Canyon. And then it reminds me yet again we serve a mighty God!
Or during the flood event there were massive electrical discharges that tore out huge sections of the earth. Look at the GC from satellite images and compare them to electrical discharge images. This effect was created in a lab with astonishing results. The erosion theory falls apart rather quickly when you look at the observable facts. There is a river that flows through my home town. While hiking along the river bank you can see rock formations, they are perpendicular to the flow of the water. This river is depicted in ancient maps so its not something man made. So its been flowing for a very very very long time yet the rock formations are sharped edge stone with no indication of erosion. There is another area, the ridge road. It has a body of water on each side with a 100ft ridge in the middle. They say the glaciers carved it out. Yet on each end it stops, so where did the glacier go. It was most likely during the event the electrical winds blew sediment over the earth and the oppsosing electrical field attracted the charged particles collecting on this ridge. Thing of sand and gravel pits. They tell you glaciers ground up the material. Thats bull. It was the charged wind and sediment that collected in these areas. In many places you can see the sediment layers as the material was blown around during these biblical storms.
Noah's ark is found. The inside is covered with pitch and the wood is perfectly preserved in the ice on Mount Ararat. This is not a hoax. Search: Noah's Ark has been found with high probability on Mount Ararat
I don't see why that would be the case. The ark would be the only source of wood for some time. The family would likely have disabled the ship for structures.
I have a particular loathing for the thumbnail of the "ark." God did not include in His instructions to Noah on how to build the Ark, a means of propulsion. No sails, no screws, to oars. God never meant the Ark to be a sailing vessel, hence no need for a curved hull. God meant the Ark to be a floating box that would hold the survivors of the flood. God Himself would steer the Ark. The Ark symbolizes Salvation, uncontrolled by man, directed by God alone.
Agreed, as an engineer I understand their reason for a ‘sail’ to keep the ark pointing into the waves but we don’t know it was there and a rectangular box is all that is described and would be simple and strong to build and the long sides would also catch the wind. Noah may have interpreted it and added some other features not specified but I’m not sure we should.
It's possible Noah was a shipbuilder, given God had chosen him for the task before he had even been born. God gave him the specific instructions directly but through his life Noah had been instructed in shipwright knowledge.
Genisis6 says they were on the boat for 10 months. Where did they store all the food necessary to keep all those animals alive all that time, and how did the animals survive afterward until food sources returned from the 3/4 of a year under water?

Its crazy how much Christians like me have to explain everything with science when you literally have God watching over them but I think it is explainable there were probably only a few animals because most animals we see came from the originals which would subtract a huge margin
@@KobeBryant-m9y That could be a theory that explains one aspect of the huge lie. How did the animals either get from other continents before the boat ride, or to other continents, with separate lineage between the locations? How did so many animals magically appear on the horizon in the few thousand years since the boat ride if that was the case? The Great Magician is popping out new animals every couple years? With close but decidedly different dna lines to animals in other locations? There are hundreds of serious questions that would come up with that thought process. And when you add up all those questions in makes almost zero sense. Except magic.
@@KobeBryant-m9y There is likely more physical evidence supporting evolution than any other scientific idea, and you complain that we want evidence to support you idea. What are "original" animals. Also, where do you get the genetic diversity needed for the "non-originals" to come from? This channel doesn't believe in evolution, so please also explain how that would have happened. None of you explanation contains science, which is probably why you believe as you do...
If you read the bible, Noah didn't find/gather them, God directed them to the ark. So you LITERALLY have to believe in magic to make the story work. All of the creationists' attempts to try to crowbar the logistics of the story into reality fall flat on this point. No logic, no reason, just "God did it with magic!".
@cbdwarfer9492 I did read it. A long long time ago Maybe I forgot that part. But even if you believe in magic it makes no sense. The animals are from all over the globe
Well that's the easiest part. God led them there. Ever noticed how animals have an amazing sense of direction and even know which direction to go away from a storm before it even hits? I'd imagine God just gave some of the animals the instinct to travel towards Noah. I get how it sounds "dumb" to an atheist, but the fact we exist at all is even crazier, so you must remain open minded if you are to arrive at truth. If God can create us, I'm pretty sure He can guide a few animals to a boat in the middle east.
@TrevoltIV I never said I'm an atheist. I said how did land animals travel to him from all over the world ? How did giraffes and kangaroos and polar bears get to him. It doesn't add up

i am wondering why Noah's Ark had the shape of a ship. The Ark did not need to sail from A to B and thus it did not need to be streamline. Building a rectangular box is much, much easier than building a ship with curves.
A rectangular Ark would have held many more animals, too. There were huge anchors found by a site in Turkey, which appears to be where the Ark is today (Dogubeyazit). The huge anchors would have been used to give the Ark stability in rough waters.
Why would the ark have used an anchor! , is the anchor mentioned in the scripture, if so, then OK, but anchor in that situation would be not required,, huh? ? ?

The OP also brings in a red herring and says, "Atheists marvel over ancient things like the pyramids." By saying that, he is equating something tangible (the pyramids) with something that does not have a shred of evidence for it ever having existed. Disbelieving in Noah having built an ark does not depend on faith, as if "atheists would believe if only they had enough faith." No, disbelieving in Noah and his boat depends on there being zero evidence for their existence, unlike the pyramids.

Where did God come from and what existed before God? Did God come from nothing, or something. Was God created , or was he the product of evolution. Was there an even greater God who created your God?

I just want to say, I am a shipbuilder of 16 years. The longest vessel we've built was 800+ feet long. Constructing something that size from wood is astronomical! God's time is different, we have thousands of people building these ships. Noah and his family are a true inspiration.
God’s time is here with us and his time will follow us wherever we go.
If I'm not mistaken, it took him decades to build it
How do you think it took Noah and his family to build it?

I always wonder about Jesus simply saying "Follow Me", and then the apostles one by one would drop everything and followed him. I found this amazing article and I was balling my eyes out, because it gave me a whole new appreciation for His love for us. 😥😇😥💕
It's called: "MAY YOU BE COVERED WITH THE DUST OF YOUR RABBI"
In the New Testament a Rabbi would call a new disciple by saying, “Follow Me,” it meant from that time forward their life would change drastically as they would be dead to their old life and alive to their new life. They would literally leave everything they knew and begin to follow their new teacher.
~If you were called to follow a Rabbi, you would be taking their set of rules and their teaching upon you, with the idea that one day you would perpetuate their ideas to future generations. A Rabbi’s set of teachings in that day was called their “yoke.” This is what Jesus was talking about when he said, “Come unto Me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for … For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light” (Matthew 11:28-30). The Rabbis of Jesus’ day put a heavy yoke loaded with burdens on men and did not help to lift them.
~Around the age of 14 or 15 years old, the young men would finish their schooling and the Rabbis would go to these schools and question these young men. They would then choose the best of the best to be their disciples and would call them using the same phrase that Jesus used, “Follow Me.” The Rabbi wanted to find out if you had what it takes to spread his yoke. The new disciple would then leave his hometown and everything he knew, and would follow him everywhere, giving his life to be exactly like his Rabbi. The student would follow the Rabbi and literally imitate him in every way, especially his teaching and mannerisms.
~As one would leave and begin to follow, others would say to him, “May you be covered with the dust of your Rabbi.” The students followed him so closely that the dust from the road that came from the feet of the Rabbi would cover the disciple. That should be the desire of every disciple of Christ, to walk so close to him that we would be covered with his dust.
~If a young man was rejected by the Rabbi, he would say to him, “Go home, have children, and pray that they may become a Rabbi. Go home and ply your trade (go home and learn the family business).”
~Matthew 4:18-22 describes Jesus calling four of his disciples to follow him, “And Jesus, walking by the sea of Galilee, saw two brethren, Simon called Peter, and Andrew his brother, casting a net into the sea: for they were fishers.
~(Why were these men fisherman, because they were not chosen to be a potential Rabbi; they were plying their trade.) And he saith unto them, Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men. And they straightway left their nets, and followed him. And going on from thence, he saw other two brethren, James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother, in a ship with Zebedee their father, mending their nets; and he called them. And they immediately left the ship and their father, and followed him.
~Jesus calling these young men was just the same as saying, “I believe you can be like me and I believe you have potential, you have what it takes. I believe God can use you.” This was one of the greatest privileges in their culture.
~Imagine you were on the shore when this scene unfolds. Jesus walks by and calls James and John, the sons of Zebedee, they drop everything and immediately begin to follow Jesus. I would have thought that their father would have said, “… you kids now a days, running off, leaving me with all this work, where do you think you’re going.” Nothing like that was spoken. I imagine that Zebedee ran home and said something like this, “The boys aren’t with me mom, a Rabbi, Jesus of Nazareth, came along and called our boys, and he thinks that they have what it takes to be a Rabbi someday.” Maybe the next morning, he sees the usual men preparing for the day’s work that is ahead of them and he can’t wait to brag on his sons. I assure you that this became the talk of the town, Zebedee’s family stock soared that day, and this is what every father dreamed of for his son.
~I often wondered why Peter would get out of a perfectly good boat in the middle of a storm. His Teacher was not in the boat and he wanted to be just like him, so he stepped out and walked on the water. Peter would rather be surrounded by the waves and be with Jesus than to be in a safe boat without him. Peter wanted to be covered with the dust of his Rabbi, to follow Him. What Jesus did, Peter wanted to do, where Jesus was, Peter wanted to be.
May you be covered with the dust of your Rabbi!
~I was just thinking about how Jesus washed His dust off of the feet of his disciples. They were dirty, because they followed so closely behind Him. It was now time for them to step up, and have the world follow what they have to say about Jesus! Yet Judas was covered in that same dust, but he decided to betray him like billions of so-called Christians today that do not obey Jesus, but are still choosing to obey their flesh!

I was in church for 50 years and I never read my Bible and then 5.5 years ago I almost killed myself, and then Lord reminded me that it only takes 1 Day to Listen to the dramatized New Testament Bible. Ever since then I've been reading/listening to my Bible cover to cover every single month.. While I drive, walk, work, clean, bathe... So who needs TV or social media when we've got The Word of God that sets us free. I suddenly had a radical conversion and surrendered my ENTIRE life to Christ...after I read 1st JOHN 3:9-10, it Absolutely scared me too the core and I stopped making excuses for my sin. I was kidnapped for sex trafficking the very day that I ran away from home after my mom had murdered my twin baby sisters she said she was going to murder me. After God saved my soul that day, Now I truly love God with all my heart, all my mind, all my sou, andl all my strength. He healed my Mind Body Soul and Spirit.. Ever since then I've never experienced anger, fear, unforgiveness, guilt, shame, rejection, bitter, lustful thoughts, loneliness, worry/stress, lying, gossip, etc 🎉 I can't believe that I used to think I was Born Again, not even close, but more like a Foolish Virgin. When I go out and evangelist I just ask people to Push Play and let the TRUTH set you free!!! The area I live in is filled with so many lukewarm Christians it's heartbreaking, but Jesus said it would be this way in the last days.

I really enjoyed this video. It covered a lot of the history of the Ark, as well as answered sceptics questions. I would suggest however, leaving out the background music as it distracts from the speaker, and makes listening very difficult.
It didn’t cover the history it tried to fill in some gaps to try and explain the unexplainable . It was presented by a condescending t“@t.
Captions help pick up words said covered by music, and background noises, even in those with the heaviest of accents. FYI: "sceptics" is a stinky way of spelling "skeptics." 😎🤗😉

Noah could build and bring all those animals and birds and whatever God told him because God made him to do. Everything is possible for God.
I really wish everybody who wants to draw a so called Noah’s Ark, would READ AND FOLLOW Genesis 6:15-16. The Ark “only” needed to float, NOT steer!
How about feeding a starving child ?
Also Noah lived 950 year. If he spent half his life buiding the ark with his sons it could be done. At that extended lifespan anyone could accumulate great technical engineering skill, 10× a Leonardo Da Vinci. Think about it, it took 500 years to get from the middle ages to where we are now.
@@toldyouso5588 Are you serious? If you "think about it" you come to the inescapable conclusion that humans have NEVER lived to an age of 950. In the whole of history hardly anyone has lived beyond 100, let alone spend decades hard labour building an ark half the size of the Titanic with basic tools at that age.

You have rebuilt the ark. Take 8 volunteers, the appropiate number of animals and food and lock them up on the ark to prove that it works. That would be creation science.
I do not think it would pass the ethical review board that ensures proper animal handling and care.
Noah has 100 years to build the ark. He also very well may have paid people to help, and we don't know what technology they has before the flood.
some people think it was like a few weekends project, but it took years. (edit: the area of scripture shows how much geography has changed is the four rivers that branched from [Eden, Tigris, Euphrates, Pishon, and Gishon] in Genesis 2 and compare that today where the two known rivers are, the Tigris and Euphrates) look at some of histories heaviest rainfalls and then work that out for even a week which wouldn't be unrealistic by todays standards that we've seen
Hey dax, if every proto Greek civilization was wiped out in the flood, then why do we use the Greek names for the Tigris and Euphrates rivers? The Hebrews already had named them: the Tigris was called the Hiddekel, the Euphrates was called the Perat. How the hell can you get Greek names for anything if Noah and his ilk didn't speak Greek? The Greeks just weren't around back then.
@@JB-yb4wn The geeks came around 2000-3000 years after Noah's arc. Noahs arc was around 5000 BC and the earliest Greek civilization was around 2200 BC. I don't understand why you have a problem with the rivers names being greek though so you gotta elaborate.
@@rushzei
FFS there were no civilizations around in 5000 BCE, Mesopotamian civilization didn't start until about 4000 BCE, Egyptians, 3000 BCE, Indus Valley 2500 BCE. The idiots who made this video say that the flood occurred in 2348 BCE, so we go from there, OK?
The first Greek culture were the Minoans who were around the same time as the Egyptians, about 2800 BCE.
So, braintrust, here is how it works. The Minoans were the first Greek civilization, they lived on Crete. You wipe them out, you wipe out the Greek language, the only survivors of the laughable flood were 8 Jews who already had a name for the Tigris and Euphrates river. We should know those rivers by their Hebrew names, not by their Greek names because there are no Greeks around, no Greek language.
You guys ever Google stuff up? Or do you like being ignorant?
@daxconnell7661, Yes that's a good argument. In fact, the Middle East does seem to be the general area of Eden going simply by the genetic markers of how humankind spread across the Earth from that general area. Check out the book "Traced" by Dr. N.Jeanson. Also it was not merely rain that caused the flood but, the great fountains or water reservoirs of the deep, underground were broken up and spewed forth into the atmosphere. Rain cannot occur without a tiny drop of dust for the water molecules to form around. There was volcanic activity and dirt/smoke released into the air, possibly produced by meteors or a huge earthwide earthquake. The resulting dust and heavy tropical vapor in the air turned into rain. Between the underground water and the water coming down from the sky every hill was covered. The mountains such as the Alps or the Rockies formed as a result of tectonic upheaval and magma spread. If you look at the topography under the oceans you can see where the earth literally was split apart. It was a truly cataclysmic event. Amazing the human race and the animal ancestors survived at all. The Ark was massive and masterfully engineered by God.
Today's post flood world is nothing like the pre-flood world. The world that then existed was destroyed. We have little idea but imagination what it might have looked like.
all renderings of the ark show it to be wood colored but scripture says that noah coated the ark inside and out with pitch (genesis 6:14) to waterproof it, so the ark would actually be black as tar , i bet it was a very eerie looking vessel indeed
Ooooh
The questions I ask are:-
If “god” is so powerful, knowledgeable, so clever that it can (supposedly) create the universe and everything in it..including all the various life forms, then WHY did it NEED a human man, his wife, three son and their wives, to build a giant ship, fill it with animals (from the largest elephant, to the smallest beetle/ant/spider/worms (whatever animal life was around at the time)), provide all the required foodstuffs and water for each creature, suitable habitat?
Where did Noah and his family get all that timber, how did they cut and shape it? Where did they get all the hundreds of gallons of “pitch” from? Pitch is a product of petroleum, so how did they process and extract it?
Supposedly it then rained for forty days and nights, (murdering uncounted millions of people), meaning the ship had to be sealed against the elements!
Where did those untold billions of gallons of water come from?
So what did they use for illumination, naked flames wouldn’t be advisable, too much flammable material, how did they keep the air breathable, how did they feed all the thousands of animals and get rid of their waste, WITH JUST EIGHT PEOPLE, when, apparently they were confined in an unpowered/unsteered/unstable wooden box drifting on a world girdling ocean, being blown in all directions by wind and tide, for, if the bible is to be believed, about a year!
Then, somehow, all those untold billions of gallons of water “receded (where to)”
And the ship landed on top of a mountain, from which all those thousands of animals were distributed round the world….a world that was WATER LOGGED and basically unusable! So, no access to food or clean water! Mountains of stinking mud and rotting flesh and vegetation!
Why do religionists never seem able or willing to answer those and other relevant questions with anything other than a variation of “it’s “god’s”will”!
The religious don’t need evidence or science because they just simply believe the god can do anything because he’s god. Crazy reasoning
The World is not what science tells us it is. The flood began and ended when 'The Fountains of THe Deep" opened and closed. Where does all the water go when you empty a pool? Its a similar concept.
The water rushed in from 3 places. Rains, Fountains, and the Windows of Heaven. God has told us numerous times that there is water all around us surrounded by a Firmament.
@@sharpuslfwhere is this fountain of the deep?
It's great to have questions but as much as archaeology and history may try, much facts of the past is unknown. All anyone can do is speculate as is the case with any unknown event(s) from the past. One is left to his or her speculations and many have been proffered. For example, you ask, where did the billions of gallons of water go? This answer is clear. Pay a visit to an ocean. It's still there! Seventy-one percent of the Earth's surface is covered with water. In fact the Titanic ship is nearly 5 Km deep in water off the coast of Newfoundland, Canada. If the land masses today were levelled off and filled all the ocean trenches, the water would cover all land to a depth of nearly 1 Km. This is one of your questions answered. The "untold billions of gallons of water receded to" fill the oceans which exist to this day.
@@mckillalaberry Its under the earth. THe Firmament is surrounding us and protects us from the waters above and below us.

Who gathered all the food for the animals? And who cleaned up after them? Have you ever been to see animals in cages after a month in captivity? With 8 humans on board? And 6 thousand species?
No one, because they all would have died from scurvy within about two months, as hundreds of thousands of sailors did in long periods at sea beginning in the so-called Age of Discovery.
It's why it's a story and never happened. Basic logistics for a group of 8 would have prevented them from ever sleeping. And with the claims God took care of them is just the religious person's answer to we don't know so god did it. Science has already thrown the ark story out the window for being absolutely bs.
Typical bs answer from blind faith believers who don't have a logical argument.
@sterlingduprejr237Nice cop out.
What did the carnivores eat AFTER the alleged flood? For example, the lions, coming off the ark, would have quickly killed and eaten the gazelles (that being the nature of carnivores). It takes time to repopulate near-extinct species, and they have to eat in the meantime. "God did it" is not an answer.
Amen !!!! GOD IS GOOD

This was well put together, but I didn't hear any answers to the questions he said that skeptics would have. Yes, how did all the animals and living creatures fit in the ship? He said it was 500 plus feet by 85 ft by 51 ft? Or somewhere around there. How many animals can fit in that, and what did the carnivores eat? You know, like the lions and the T-Rex? Where did the animals go to the bathroom during this year? Also, with a pair of every single creature or species sitting inside, did they not move for a year? He said the Ark was about the size of a midsized cargo ship, but a midsized cargo ship is filled up with cargo from one small place transporting to another. During the year journey, did the animals not reproduce? If every living thing on land died, then there was no vegetation. What did the plant eating animals eat when they got off the boat? When the meat eaters got hungry and ate a cow or a chicken, wouldn't they be effectively wiping out an entire species? I'm confused. Can you please answer these questions I have? I would love to understand, but I can not just believe it because someone wrote it in a book. I would honestly love to be educated on this and find common ground. Thank you for your video and time.

I'm not saying that there can't be some type of "God". There probably is even from a scientific stand point.
My point is, most of the Bible stories are clearly wrong and made up.
Like Zeus, or and other God stories.
Science proves they are wrong.
We evolved and the earth is over 5 billion years old. That's a fact.
So start there.
Not that many life forms were on the arc and the really big ones were small juveniles. These would have been the prehistoric ancestors of all animals today. For example a pair of grey wolves from which all dogs descended from. The many species around today were not around then. Back then people and animals were vegetarians so a significant part of the arc was for storing hay, grasses, etc for the animals. A smaller area was for the human food like beans, lentils, grains, dried vegetables and fruits. In cold countries cows don't leave the barn for half the year but they still survive. Noah and the seven others were very busy taking care of all the animals. This all is common sense and faith isn't required to figure things out.
Great video! High quality and thorough
Actually China in the 1300's & early 1400's did build ships of the size of the ark (even before that but the previous ones were river going vessels for war)... but they did use massive bamboo. When the sea disaster struck and destroyed the Chinese world exploration & tribute fleer, that event caused the priests to tell the rulers to isolate from the outer kingdoms of the world, the remaining ships were destroyed and were never built again.
Probably a lot of big boats even Vikings found the way to America's first
No they did not, sorry. The largest wooden boat in history was the Wyoming, built in Maine to run coal. It floundered and sank after 11 years of sporadic service in which the pumps had to be run constantly

Great video. I agree with you 100%. You’re so right. The problem for most people not believing is that they have no knowledge who the GOD of The Bible really is. If you are the type of person who says to yourself “that’s a lie because there’s no GOD”.
So, of course; you’re going to doubt everything you hear about GOD, but for those that believe it is the power of GOD. Just because an animal was huge (like the host said), he could’ve brought aboard young ones or the eggs. For all of us that believe, there’s nothing impossible for GOD. Yes, The Bible is full of silly and unbelievable stories, and GOD knew this; but HE made them like that to confound the wise. For those who read this comment I’m going to write down a Chapter and verse in The Bible so you can read it, because my time is limited, but read it so you can understand GOD better. The Apostle Paul wrote this in - 1 Corinthians 1: 27-29.
This is for those who question GOD. I know the young man (host) that posted this, does believe in The GOD of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob (Israel). May THE LORD GOD and HIS SON JESUS CHRIST bless you, your family, and all your viewers. I’m asking GOD for a very special blessing for those that still don’t believe in THE LORD. My friends, time is running out, and whether you believe GOD or not; HIS SON JESUS will be coming very soon to take to Heaven those that do believe. You don’t want to be left behind. I’m pleading with you. If you would only put down your skepticism and your pride, you can also meet HIM, and not be left behind. I don’t know who you are, but if you’re human; JESUS came and die for you on the cross, so you could be saved and not be sent to hell for eternity. Sounds hard right? But GOD is HOLY my friend, and nothing around HIM can be dirty or sinful. This war with ISRAEL was prophesied a long time ago and it signals the beginning of the end. You still have time. May JESUS open your heart. Amen!!!

@@ort8410 It's only "not even a mildly tough question" if you are too incredibly lazy to think about the logistics. I suggest you think just a LITTLE harder, then come back and reassess your opinion. Here's a couple of facts to help you along:
1. There were a maximum of 8 people on the ark for an entire year.
2. Every single species of animal was also on the ark, many with very specific dietary/care requirements if they were to survive the conditions on board.
3. According to the bible, the ark had ONE window.
4. One pair of elephants (male and female) produces roughly 100 tonnes of excrement per year.
So do some maths, and let me know how difficult the task would be based on your calculations. Or of course you could simply admit you're too lazy to bother with actual facts and would rather entertain a fantasy that is not remotely concordant with reality.

The ark refutes itself (as the replica it's not ark, it's a building). And Ken didn't get himself and a few of his friends, 8 in total (all unskilled in boat making) to build an actual ark using the primitive tools of the time period it was supposedly built. Nor is it actually filled with millions of live species of animals and the different foods to feed them with 8 people actually feeding them.
Ken Ham's Ark:
Designed on _scientific_ computers. Built by a 1000-person skilled workforce, using power tools. All materials delivered by gas-engined vehicles over paved roads. Held together with factory-fabricated and tested metal brackets and fasteners. Plastic plumbing, electric lighting and modern HVAC. Supported by reinforced concrete pillars on a solid cement base. The whole thing wrapped in Tyvek. No live animals. Nowhere near water.
Ken single-handedly proved the Ark could never have existed.

So you think people lived for 1,500 years or 2,000 years or so before the flood building cities and yet still only had primitive tools? And primitive transportation??
Each person lived far longer than now days. So each person had more time to invent and develop, and share knowledge.
Knowledge would have been great and scientists and schools prolific. Since they lived far longer they alsomwould reproduce far longer having massive families/tribes.
There would have been billions of people building cities and schools and universities. They also had become skilled in evil, corrupt, violent and likely at war with each other. Completely lacking in morals. Theirs thoughts evil, even from their youth up.

You have to no absolutely NOTHING about our biodiversity or biology as a whole to believe in the flood myth..
Actually one has to ignore biology and geology to accept the Big Bang or evolution. DNA science has shown us that there is no natural path for evolution from a simple cell to complex life as mutations almost if not always leads to death and destruction of dna. No mechanism of adding information to DNA. There is no natural mechanism to take matter and it turn to life. Zero. Life is devolving not evolving. Nor is there a single example of one kind of animal changing to another kind.
@@Jewonastick yes, of course, people believe it because we’ve actually studied the subject. Unlike people that are just opinionated without any further investigation.
Take yourself, for example could you name even a single current prediction of our model? That is probably asking even to much. Let’s use baby steps and start with the most basic of questions: Do you even know how we explain the diversity of life?
No. No you do not because if you did you would know even more about the subject.
Even if all the animals of the world were rounded up no one dares talk about how much food were required let alone the specialist food. Bamboo for pandas and gum trees for koalas, for example. Let someone work out how all this was done and jammed into a craft. When this story was told people only had a limited understanding of their world.
The animals could have been in a hibernation mode during their time on board the ark, which would have solved the problem of needing to be fed. There's nothing too hard for God!
Pandas are apart of the bear kind, it could be that pandas were not on board the ark at all but rather a different bear like the black bear. so no need for specialized food.
FYI: Bamboo and eucalyptus are not the natural diet of pandas and koalas. The other two answers are also good, but do yourself a favour and visit Ark Encounter. When you see it's immensity, you'll grasp how probable the storing of sufficient food was. And because the animals were juniors, their diet would've been considerably less.
And yes, the issue of food storage was tackled at the exhibit.
@@heatherlensink7208 So you believe in short term evolution of species, from time of the ark. I believe God's creation took a lot longer.
@@alfyr.e.meyerakaa.r.e.m.4434 Well you try and feed Pandas without 99% of their diet.However their digestive system is typical of a carnivore, so the remaining 1% of their diet can include eggs, small animals and carrion. Koalas eat a variety of eucalypt leaves and a few other related tree species, including lophostemon, melaleuca and corymbia species (such as brush box, paperbark and bloodwood trees)
young animals would be easier to keep them from attacking each other also,as hunting etc needs to be learned first.Of course God kept all peaceful also.
For all we know, the animals may have become quite docile and in a state of low energy, hibernation like state through the year of darkness and rocking in the ark.
Yes, the explanation that "the animals came to him" solves the problem of how Noah got animals from around the world onto the ark. Now we have a whole new set of problems as a result.
It is 1000 miles of ocean from Australia to mainland Asia. Koalas can't swim.
And from there another 7000 miles over land to the Middle East. How did they navigate? We know they had no compasses. The overland trek would have taken 6 or 7 years. Koalas would have died before completing the trip.
And then there is the matter of food. Koalas eat eucalyptus leaves exclusively. There are no eucalyptus trees on the way.
And any 9 year old koala that happened to make it to the Middle East and survived the flood had another 8000 mile, 7 year journey return trip back.
Why are you applying the geography of the planet after the flood to before it happened? I.e. Australia didn't exist. 2 different worlds...
@@calvinsmith7575 The point I was making appears to have been lost on you. The point was that people make up reasons to explain something; their explanation is not only unsupported by any evidence, but it leads to even more things that now need to be explained.
You are making up the point about Australia not existing. There is no proof of that and lots of proof that it has existed for millions of years. So now explain how Australia came about in the last 4000 years.
- The aboriginal people have lived there continuously for at least 40,000 years. Explain this anomaly.
- There are rock wall paintings that are 35,000 years old. Explain this anomaly.
- Animals like marsupial tigers, kangaroos, koalas and quokkas have not spread out from Australia to mainland Asia, which they would be expected to do if Australia was attached to Asia, but which is expected if they were separated from Asia for millions of years and evolved independently. The same thing happens in islands all over the world like Madagascar. Explain this anomaly.
- Plate tectonics does not support Australia being joined to Asia any time in the recent past. To separate that quickly would have caused enormous volcanism, tsunamis and earthquakes, none of which is in the bible record or the natural record. Explain this anomaly.
@@donlimoncelli6108
Your logic is underpinned by a lot of unwarranted assumptions.
@@mmaimmortals To assume that a koala could make it to the Middle East and back would require logic underpinned by unwarranted assumptions, such as that the koala would live long enough, that it could physically accomplish the feat, and that it would be able to eat along the way. Here are the things you consider "unwarranted assumptions " but which you did not research yourself before saying that:
1. Sea distance: Koalas live in northern Australia. From Somerset on the northern tip of Queensland to the nearest part of the Asian mainland (Singapore) is 4400 km or 2732 miles (I was being very generous saying it was 1000 miles). Wildcare Australia says this regarding koalas’ swimming ability: “Although koalas can swim, if there are no assisted ways for a koala to climb out they will drown.” Koalas sometimes die when they fall into swimming pools because "if there are no assisted ways for a koala to climb out they will drown.”
2. Land distance: I said there was another 7000 miles to the Middle East. The distance from Singapore to Jerusalem is 7761 miles.
3. Time to take to get to the Middle East: Koalas are slow. From the Queensland Department of Environment and Science: “When koalas are on the ground, they walk slowly as they are poorly adapted to walking on the ground.” In addition, koalas sleep 20 hours a day. If a koala were to walk for 2 hours at 2 miles per hour and spend the other 2 hours looking for food and eating, then they would travel 4 miles per day. It would take 2000 days for a koala to walk 7700 miles, or 5.5 years, close enough to my figure of 6 years.
4. The matter of food. Koalas eat eucalyptus, and very occasionally, when eucalyptus is not available, will eat lophostemon, melaleuca, or corymbia.
- Eucalyptus are found in Australia, with a very few in New Guinea and Indonesia. There are none on the Asian mainland.
- Lophostemon are limited to a small area in Western and Northern Australia. There are none on the Asian mainland.
- Melaleuca are found on the east coast of Australia and New Guinea. There are none on the Asian mainland.
- Corymbia is found in Australia and a few surrounding islands. There are none on the Asian mainland. A koala would starve on the way.
5. Making the trip out and back. I said “...any 9 year old koala that happened to make it to the Middle East and survived the flood…” A koala would not be able to make it to the Near East as a newborn joey, as it takes one year to mature. So if one started out as a one-year old, it would be 7 years old when it got there. After a year on an ark, it would be 8 years old. Koalas live to be 10 to 12 years old. With the return trip taking about six years, the 8-year-old koala would be 14 by the time it returned. It would die before getting back.
That is just koalas. Ringtail possums, quokkas and tasmanian devils live shorter lives, and tasmanian devils would have an even longer trek than koalas. Please, please, please consider thinking critically about things like this.
@@donlimoncelli6108
Those details are not what I was referring to as unwarranted assumptions.
Calvin already pointed this out, but you’re mixing IC’s from your world view with the IC’s of the creation position.
That is not how to make a valid argument against a model.
People have been moving animals all over the planet for thousands of years. Will you tell me I have no evidence for this?
The reasons are quite varied.
Domestication, agriculture, food supply, commercial trade, gifts, hunting, war, study, clothing, tools, medicine, accidental passenger, and on and on.
Your unwarranted assumption is that Australia was 4400 years ago where it is today.
The secularists have the continents all together at some point in the past, and so do many (not all) creationists.
You’re also assuming the Ark started in the ME. But there is no Biblical text or any other line of evidence to indicate this is true.
The Bible doesn’t say where the Ark started, only (approximately) where it ended.
If the continents were all together pre-Flood, and people moved animals all over the planet pre-Flood like they do today, then there is no way to know how far any particular kind of animal had to travel to get to the Ark.
Post Flood is a different story.
But, by actually reading the Genesis text, you might find that it implies that people were instructed to assist the animals in their dispersal.
By all means, think critically.
And avoid the unwarranted assumptions.
Is there anything in Genesis about what the land was like after the waters receded? It sounds like a pole shift and crustal displacement.
did you know the poles do change direction and negative becomes positive and vice versa. This fact would account for the water moving due to the electrical magnetism shift of the poles.

Of course, you have to understand what exactly was going on in the PreFlood era, that led up to the Flood. Probably less than 10% of the citizens of Earth, understand that; yet, it is no secret, for it is published in the Bible, and expounded on in the book of Enoch, for anyone to read, who wants to..

None of us, everyone dies. “And fear not them that kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul; but rather fear Him that is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.”
There is truth to what you write. The Earth's geology demonstrates the death and destruction massive flooding is capable of. Those massive layers of water borne sediments teeming with death and destruction is a testament to the destruction the former earth experienced. That world that once was became no more. :/
Well, you have one fundamental problem if not TWO. A) If we're to believe the whole planet is really, "only 6000 years old", then you're putting the flood somewhere around 2348 BCE. There is plenty of historical, archeological and anthropological evidence showing the Egyptian, Sumerian and Chinese civilizations were doing just fine in 2348 BCE. B) The entire Genesis flood story is predated by the Epic of Gilgimesh in which a character Gilgimesh encounters, Utnapishtam, is warned by gods to build a craft in advance of a coming flood and he saves the family livestock.
Thoth wrote the emerald tablets in Atlantean and fixed the atoms and cellular structure of them so they never decay or rot, something we cannot do today, 38000 years ago. We are backwards as a species thanks to religions.

I think you're doing a great job for the most part but that in some cases you're reading your own ideas into the text. It says cubits, not royal cubits, so we should assume normal cubits making the ark 450 feet by 75 feet and 45 feet high. It doesn't mention a rudder or a bow, so we should assume that it was shaped like a box. Noah had 120 years to build the ark, plenty of time for him and his sons to build it by themselves. There's nothing it the text to indicate that he used hired help. What? he found people to help him and then he let them drown? People would have either mocked him or believed in the project and want to be part of it- and then would they not want to get on the ark themselves?
Where does it say Noah had 120 years to build the ark? I don’t see that in my Bible. Genesis 5:32 says, “after Noah was 500 years old he became the father of Ham, Shem, and Japheth.” Then in Genesis 6:14 God tells him to build the ark. Then, Genesis 7:6 tells us that Noah was 600 years old when the flood came. So, it sounds to me like he had less than 100 years to build it.

I would love to sit and debate with yourself, fairly and professionally with respect shown for both sides, as this 18 minute video raised so many contentions that outright show that the ark is nothing more than a man building a big boat thousands of years ago (if it happened at all). Due to the primitive mindset back then, a huge boat would have seemed almost supernatural, and this is to not even involve the sheer space required for these "kinds" of animals. Lastly the term "kind" is so vague as to be irrelevant as most theologians cannot even agree what it means and cannot reliably apply it to life today... so yeah, genuinely any time I would jump at the chance to visit, bathe in the culture that you have built where you are; and to hopefully video debate about this contentious issue.

@@dennisbabian2161 One can survive horrible smells.

@@BlackMagicWiccan simply saying the smell would have been similar. And I've never heard anyone dying from bad smells alone unless the smell is also toxic which it clearly wasn't. Also GOD was with Noah & all those on the ark. I've visited the ark Ken Ham created in Kentucky which is a similar recreation Noah made & it clearly shows that there were plenty of areas for waste to be removed from the ark & for food to be stored. Also we are not told every detail that happened during that year. God could have simply caused all the animals to sleep the entire time which would have reduced waste a great deal. Or God could have supernatually taken care of it Himself. In any case there would have been ZERO chance of any of the to die on the ark. God wouldn't save them just to have them die a few days later, LOL.
Sundials use to be referred to as an Arc or “Ark”
So lengths of time were being recorded
Perhaps for agricultural purposes as well as seasonal awareness
I was once told by a vicar that the term '40' which appears so often in the Bible (40 days and nights of rain, 40 years in the desert, 40 months in the wilderness, etc.) was actually a term which meant 'a long but unknown time', much as we use the term 'umpteen'. Makes sense...
@@SonyaPorter-n9q 40 days and 40 nights of rain in the desert could take a few decades
Atleast 😶
Housing all those animals is one thing, how about a years worth of food for them all, and how did only 8 people care for them all? I pity the person assigned to muck out the dinosaur stalls.😂
Had AIG really wanted to prove their Ark story was true, they could have filled their Ark Encounter Ark with 2 of every "kind" of animal and 7 pairs of every "kind" of clean animal and 7 pairs of every "kind" of bird, put 8 people on board, filled the ark with food and potable water for all crew and passengers and sealed it up for a year and 17 days, "to show how it was possible". Instead they create an expensive boondoggle that proves nothing except that they couldn't build it with only 4 men and 4 women and ancient bronze age tools, and without taxpayer assistance.
Point in fact, even if the highly doubtful possibility that they could prove all the "kinds" of animals could board the ship, AND that it could hold enough food and potable water (never mind space in the bilges for all that animal waste, and modern ventilation for all the methane produced). They could NOT show how the crew and passengers could survive AFTER they left the ship and entered a world where ALL LIFE WAS GONE, and the earth was sterile AND there was no fresh water. Nor any sources for fresh water because there was no snowpack to melt and produce it. The world had been covered to 5-1/2 miles deep (Mt Everest plus 15 cubits) with water that lasted the most part of a year and was highly polluted by all the debris of the catastrophic forces. (At a little more than 9 months the Dove could still find no place to land). AND they left the Ark in early spring (2nd month of Noah's 601st year), so no snowpack could even start until the next winter. No fish, no saltwater or freshwater plants, no algae, no insects, no microbial organisms or 'crawly things' to help repair the soil, and NO LISTED "MIRACLES" in the Bible to explain these issues away. The soil would have been contaminated by all the catastrophic turbulence that YECs claim to have happened to explain their make-believe pseudoscience explanations. Life would have lasted long enough for the animals to die of thirst and starvation before any crops could be harvested (or planted for that matter). NO life of any kind for years except just what came off the Ark. The carnivores MIGHT have lived a little while longer than the herbivores, but since YEC insists that there were no carnivores on the Ark, that isn't likely either.
Fill it full of creationists and seal it shut.
Well, they were able to exist on the ark until the day they opened the door, which means they had everything they needed on it. There is no reason to suspect that they didn't use it for shelter afterward for a while until they got things made that they needed.
There's no reason to think that there was no more rain (fresh water) or dew (fresh water) which they could have collected once the stores in the ark were gone.
@@ORSkie
There’s no reason to think any of it is true. In fact, Noah’s flood story is two similar stories woven together.
So it definitely isn’t true.
First, regarding the 5.5 miles deep water, it was briefly mentioned in this video that the Earth's geography was different before the flood. It wasn't fully explained because that's not the topic for this video. In short though, Before the flood, the Earth land masses looked like Pangaea. After the flood they looked like what you see today. The mechanism that caused the flood caused a cataclysmic reorganization of the Earth's geography in a very short time. Basically what I'm saying is Mt. Everest didn't exist before the flood and the mountains mostly likely were not that tall. So the flood waters didn't need to cover all the way of up 5.5 miles deep.
There are numerous videos on this channel as well as other channels, and there are numerous books and articles that explain the whole flood mechanism and process.
As for the other things you mentioned, this was a survival scenario. It's not farfetched the think that the animals weren't malnourished, but nourished enough to be able to survive. While it's very possible to have animals used as food for carnivores on board, it's also possible for carnivores to survive on a mixed diet. Again they may not have digested all of it properly and may have had some issues during their time on the ark and even shortly after, but again, the ark wasn't a place to thrive and be happy, it was a survival scenario.
@@GhostRyder2008
There’s not one shred of evidence for anything you’ve just said.
All of the geological evidence points to vast periods of time within the geologic column and no global flood.
The Genesis flood is actually made up from two versions of the same story woven together. That’s the reason for the many contradictions.
Praise Jesus.Blessed are you my Brother. God just didnt give you love for nature but also made you a means by which several today can understand the bible from natures standpoint. Praise God for this gift😊
"understand the bible from natures standpoint"
What does that even mean? The Bible is gods word you are literally putting nature before god.
If one were to understand nature then you'd know that the physics of hogging and sagging make the ark impossible.
The 50/500 rule is an issue which means that you need 500 of 8-16 million (kinds) of animals to fit on the ark.
You and how you say things are the reason I started to doubt the Bible, so you are doing work for atheism and don't even realize it.
Thank you.

@@CowboyPants-h5p You apparently don't know about the donkey that spoke to its abuser. Ironic for you. 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Animals have instincts as well. No one knows the mechanisms by which animals were directed toward the ark nor when they started the migration.
@johnc.8298 There are verses stating that God spoke to animals for different purposes (the donkey, the lions, whale, etc)
We couldn't fit two pair of every species on the planet on the largest present day ship, much less all the food and freshwater necessary to maintain them all for a month or longer. Also, it takes more than just two pairs to maintain a population of animals because severe inbreeding causes numerous issues with the health of the offspring.

@@Grieves0001 Nonsense. No blueprint of the ark was ever implied. Many, many details of the ark were left out of the narrative including the joinery methods, fasteners used, Iron parts and other metals, lumber sizes, ballast stones, internal bracing for strength, etc. The video correctly shows the inclusion of vents along the top of the ark altho' not specifically mentioned. No big deal. It didn't mention the shapes or existence of a bow or a transom either or how many stalls, cages and other containment areas there were either. Nor how many decks for that matter.

@@did_I_hurt_you_feefees No. To get around that argument,they were all babies
@@diddsdaddiddsdad6865 I wonder if the ship would have been large enough even then? Also, who fed them milk (the mammals anyways) and all that? If this ark was real and this all went down like the Bible says, I'd giving anything to see that feat of engineering and zoo keeping.
The story of Noah's Ark took place during the Neolithic Age, long before the great civilizations of Egypt, Babylon, or early China (let alone Rome). The largest boat built before that time was not more than about 30 feet long, at most. No one had ever tried to build a ship as large the ones described here. There wasn't enough quality wood in that area to begin with. And where could Noah have found enough workers? How did he pay them? It would have cost the equivalent of billions of dollars. Even Elon Musk would have a hard time paying for that. And a wooden boat that size would not be seaworthy. It would have sunk almost immediately.
How did Noah summon all the animals from around the world? It's true that many species migrate seasonally between two known points (usually a place in the temperate zones and one in the tropics), but how would they locate the exact spot where the Ark was? Did they have a GPS? Many of the larger ones are herd animals (such as elephants). Could Noah have persuaded a male and a female to depart from the rest of the herd, and to set out for someplace that they had never been to before? How could they have navigated across thousands of miles of difficult, treacherous, unknown terrain, all on their own? As they approached the Ark, they'd be hunting, fighting, and killing each other. That's what animals do. Imagine trying to herd all of them up a gangplank and then inside a strange, dark, wooden structure totally unlike anything that they've ever seen. Good luck with that. Remember, these are wild animals, not domestic pets or livestock.
Most large animals need more space than just a tiny cage where they can barely even stand up--and this was for an entire year. Did the Ark have enough grazing land for all the herbivores? Imagine an Ark with a ranch onboard. Animals need room to roam and play.
We still haven't identified all the animal species on Earth, but to hold all of them and sustain them, the Ark would have to be at least several miles long and over a mile wide--many times larger than the biggest ship ever built. Moreover, for any species to survive and sustain itself requires more than just one male and one female. This is basic biology.
Do Scriptures say that there was only one continent prior to the big flood? If so, then at least 90 percent of all these species simply would not exist. They obviously evolved on separate continents. Most of them would not have survived otherwise. And the Book doesn't explain how the continents all drifted apart to where they are today--a process that takes hundreds of millions of years, not just a few months.
How did Noah gather up all the plants? The Ark would have to provide space for every plant species on the entire planet (imagine having a giant sequoia on board). Could the Ark hold enough plants to repopulate the entire world? After the flood ended, and all the animals disembarked, the land would have been totally barren. Did Noah and his sons travel all over the world, transplanting all the trees, bushes, vines, grasses, fungi, and other plants exactly where they should have been? How did they know which plant belonged in each location? Did they have a detailed map of the world? Otherwise, there would be literally nothing at all for herbivores to eat. And when a carnivore ate one of the herbivores (before it had a chance to bear young), then that particular species would become extinct. For example, suppose a lion ate one of the two surviving zebras, leaving the other with no mate. The zebra species would soon have been gone forever. And after disembarkation, how would any animal know where to go? Did someone guide them to their future abodes?
If Noah and his family were the only surviving humans, then humanity would have died out, too. The gene pool would have been far too small to keep our species going.
Did this one family give rise to all of the humans in the world today? Think of all the different ethnic and linguistic groups of people, from the Inuit to the Aborigines, the pygmies, the Polynesians, the Chinese, the Arabs, the Anglo-Saxons, the Tibetans, the Slavs, the Greeks, the Berbers, the tribes of the Amazon, and the Scandinavians, to name only a few. Were they all descended from Noah and his family? That process would have taken tens of thousands of years. And if we were all Noah's descendants, then all of our languages would be a lot more similar than they are today.
This is a children's fairy tale. It may be plausible to a five-year-old kindergarten kid, but I don't know how any educated adult could believe it.
Spot on with your summary. Let's not forget the copious amounts of shit that had to be cleaned up on a daily basis, and deposited all thru just "one" window. Yep, great story for 5 year olds. Amazing that grown is still believe it!
Bravo 👏 Well said.
No one knows what wood or quality was available preflood. All trace of that world was completely destroyed. All that's left are fossils in layers of water sediments. Regarding a boat of that size, the Chinese had built war ships that size which were seaworthy.
5:12 we gatta stick to what the Bible says. So I don't think we can just assume he hired workers. Plus this was a secret between him and God So it's not really the same as Solomons temple.
How did all the animals bugs and everything else get to the countries that they could survive in? Did someone sail around the world dropping them off with a few ants worms and all types of other critters?
They did the same thing people did: crossed the ice bridges during the ice age or floated on forrest debris which would have been around for hundreds of years.

Its got me thinking about the Grand Canyon, I remember a documentary talking about how the erosion of sediment did not occur over “millions” of years, that it happened in a very rapid manner. I got the chance to see the Grand Canyon in person and pictures do not do it justice. It was a very humbling experience as it threw my depth perception out the window.
But after watching this with the great flood makes me wonder how powerful the water must have been carve out the Grand Canyon. And then it reminds me yet again we serve a mighty God!
Or during the flood event there were massive electrical discharges that tore out huge sections of the earth. Look at the GC from satellite images and compare them to electrical discharge images. This effect was created in a lab with astonishing results. The erosion theory falls apart rather quickly when you look at the observable facts. There is a river that flows through my home town. While hiking along the river bank you can see rock formations, they are perpendicular to the flow of the water. This river is depicted in ancient maps so its not something man made. So its been flowing for a very very very long time yet the rock formations are sharped edge stone with no indication of erosion. There is another area, the ridge road. It has a body of water on each side with a 100ft ridge in the middle. They say the glaciers carved it out. Yet on each end it stops, so where did the glacier go. It was most likely during the event the electrical winds blew sediment over the earth and the oppsosing electrical field attracted the charged particles collecting on this ridge. Thing of sand and gravel pits. They tell you glaciers ground up the material. Thats bull. It was the charged wind and sediment that collected in these areas. In many places you can see the sediment layers as the material was blown around during these biblical storms.

I have a particular loathing for the thumbnail of the "ark."
God did not include in His instructions to Noah on how to build the Ark, a means of propulsion. No sails, no screws, to oars.
God never meant the Ark to be a sailing vessel, hence no need for a curved hull.
God meant the Ark to be a floating box that would hold the survivors of the flood. God Himself would steer the Ark.
The Ark symbolizes Salvation, uncontrolled by man, directed by God alone.
Agreed, as an engineer I understand their reason for a ‘sail’ to keep the ark pointing into the waves but we don’t know it was there and a rectangular box is all that is described and would be simple and strong to build and the long sides would also catch the wind. Noah may have interpreted it and added some other features not specified but I’m not sure we should.
salvation is a choice
@Craig Stevens and so was choosing to build the ark and listening to God and accepting His invitation of salvation.
It's possible Noah was a shipbuilder, given God had chosen him for the task before he had even been born. God gave him the specific instructions directly but through his life Noah had been instructed in shipwright knowledge.

It could be possible, but since it is not specified in Scripture, it is better not to read into Scripture that which isn't implied.
Genisis6 says they were on the boat for 10 months. Where did they store all the food necessary to keep all those animals alive all that time, and how did the animals survive afterward until food sources returned from the 3/4 of a year under water?
Maybe they were put into some type of suspended animation. We just don’t have any facts.
@@billpurves6297 We have enough fact that plainly says a large amount of that book is fantasy. Parts of history were interjected with false statements and fabrications for whatever reason. Thoth is closer to a God than the mythical being people are taught to believe.
Its crazy how much Christians like me have to explain everything with science when you literally have God watching over them but I think it is explainable there were probably only a few animals because most animals we see came from the originals which would subtract a huge margin
@@KobeBryant-m9y That could be a theory that explains one aspect of the huge lie. How did the animals either get from other continents before the boat ride, or to other continents, with separate lineage between the locations? How did so many animals magically appear on the horizon in the few thousand years since the boat ride if that was the case? The Great Magician is popping out new animals every couple years? With close but decidedly different dna lines to animals in other locations? There are hundreds of serious questions that would come up with that thought process. And when you add up all those questions in makes almost zero sense. Except magic.
@@KobeBryant-m9y There is likely more physical evidence supporting evolution than any other scientific idea, and you complain that we want evidence to support you idea. What are "original" animals. Also, where do you get the genetic diversity needed for the "non-originals" to come from? This channel doesn't believe in evolution, so please also explain how that would have happened. None of you explanation contains science, which is probably why you believe as you do...
The boat was never the part i found unbelievable. It was the finding and gathering of 2 of every animal.
If you read the bible, Noah didn't find/gather them, God directed them to the ark.
So you LITERALLY have to believe in magic to make the story work.
All of the creationists' attempts to try to crowbar the logistics of the story into reality fall flat on this point. No logic, no reason, just "God did it with magic!".
@cbdwarfer9492 I did read it. A long long time ago
Maybe I forgot that part. But even if you believe in magic it makes no sense. The animals are from all over the globe
Well that's the easiest part. God led them there. Ever noticed how animals have an amazing sense of direction and even know which direction to go away from a storm before it even hits? I'd imagine God just gave some of the animals the instinct to travel towards Noah. I get how it sounds "dumb" to an atheist, but the fact we exist at all is even crazier, so you must remain open minded if you are to arrive at truth. If God can create us, I'm pretty sure He can guide a few animals to a boat in the middle east.
@TrevoltIV I never said I'm an atheist.
I said how did land animals travel to him from all over the world ? How did giraffes and kangaroos and polar bears get to him. It doesn't add up
@@Cookiepoooo If God can literally create the universe I’m pretty sure he can figure out how to bring a bunch of animals to the boat, just saying.
The Ark Encounter took 7 years to build. With steel cranes, electricity, power tools, hundreds of guys, using precut dimensioned lumber….AND it was not built to float!
It’s just a story.
And it still leaked!
@@ICarus-eu3jv I'm hoping, I mean REALLY hoping, that when Ken Ham tried to claim on the insurance, it was refused on the grounds that it was an "act of God"! 🤣🤣🤣
That "story" certainly explains the absolute devastation of a past world as evidenced by all the fossils/death, destruction, burial of vegetation, trees, massive and multiple layers of water borne sediments and canyons on every continent in the world including antarctica. That world that once existed is no longer. It was destroyed along with all the people, animals, and vegetation with it. A mighty monument and memorial to the destructive forces of water. And that water is all still there to be seen. One need only visit a coastal beach.
Contrary to title of the video, I don't think it will change anyone's mind.
Changing one’s mind doesn’t necessarily imply they will believe the account.
It may simply imply that misinformed people will change their mind about the misinformation they normally peddle.
Why do they even try to justify this myth. We hear all the excuses under the sun about the animals. Just give it up🤣
@@Alwaysatom So you’ve been brainwashed 🤭. You should go to the smithsonian museum it’s awesome and explains everything. Let me ask you this, if this story was in any other book but the bible would you believe it.🤭.
@@Alwaysatom Sorry Rita, I’m having a bad day. So is there nothing about the Noah story that makes you think that it can’t be true. I have loads of questions. I’ve heard all the ones from Ken Ham 🤔. I’ll give you just one example. We’re told about the water from the deep came with tremendous force. It actually carved out the Grand Canyon. So the power of the water was like it’s never been known. Did you know that 22 ships are lost every year to the power of the sea? I mean some really big ships like those massive container ships. Do you think that Noah’s boat could survive such devastating destructive waves? BTW That if there was a boat in the first place.
The term Dinosaur wasn't coined until 1841 by Richard Owen, the first director of London's Natural History Museum prior to this time dragons, griffins, and leviathans were the terms.
i am wondering why Noah's Ark had the shape of a ship. The Ark did not need to sail from A to B and thus it did not need to be streamline. Building a rectangular box is much, much easier than building a ship with curves.
the shape of the hull would be stronger with a curved hull compared to a rectangular box , also a lot more stable because of displacement.
Boxes don't float anywhere near as efficiently as curved hulls, even if they're not going anywhere. Boxes in water are inherently unstable.
A rectangular Ark would have held many more animals, too. There were huge anchors found by a site in Turkey, which appears to be where the Ark is today (Dogubeyazit). The huge anchors would have been used to give the Ark stability in rough waters.
Why would the ark have used an anchor! , is the anchor mentioned in the scripture, if so, then OK, but anchor in that situation would be not required,, huh? ? ?
@@krisdockers2047 stability not as anchor tho as the waters went down at some points the rocks /anchors would eventually drag. The rocks would have helped stabilise the roll of the ark to some degree ,modern ships use a stabilising systems .
I had wondered if Pangea shifted during the flood to where the continents basically are today.
Some interpretations of Genesis 10:25 and 1 Chronicles 1:19 would indicate a post flood division of the earth, others suggest the division was the division of man during the Babel incident.
No, it would create to much heat and destruction. Geologic processes take time. Moving at nail growth speed is enough to cause massive tsunamis.
@@haggismcbaggis9485
Where does this alleged heat come from? I’m really curious.
Eddy,
Yes, the continents shifted during the Flood.
You can actually see the seam from the separation on google earth.
@@mmaimmortals There is enormous friction between plates. There are other energy exchange problem that arise from trying to squish hundreds of millions of years into one. Gutsick Gibbon has an interesting video called Young Earth Creationism is Physically Impossible: The HEAT Problem you may or may not like.
