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.
do di do di do di do di do di dooooo
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 But, but
What about the finding of the late great nurse

🤑🤑🤑🤑🤑
@@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.
As a builder it is common for people to say we built a house rather than we had a house built
Exactly.
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?
@@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.
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.
@@elegantwriting But he doesn’t really does he. He just denies the science and hopes people like you take it without checking the real answers.
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.
@@diddsdaddiddsdad6865 read the Bible!
@@diddsdaddiddsdad6865 The irony is that if you actually looked at the science yourself instead of blindly believing someone that you assume is telling you the truth you'd know that science actually does corroborate scripture. You cannot find any apparent contradiction to science and scripture that does not require a misinterpretation of one or the other.
He did a great job of not understanding modern science and showing that the emotionally unstable god you've been conditioned to believe in is more violent than Hitler himself.
As Pastor Joe Foche always says, "'In the beginning, God. . .' If you can get past that, the rest is easy!"
Yes, if you can accept first sentence as true without having any actual evidence, then you will swallow any crap you get.
Yeah, the famous 'leap of faith'. It's called 'faith' for a reason.
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.

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."
This shouldn't be a problem for you, any "box" that contains living creatures and floats on water is by definition a boat.
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.
@@diddsdaddiddsdad6865 if you would quiet your mind, he would reveal himself to you in supernatural ways, like miracles or in dreams, but you think only of yourself.

They can’t all be right but they can all be wrong. I remember what this atheist said once and it stuck in my mind ,she said the difference between me and your god is that if I was all powerful and I could stop something from happening I would. Just think about that. Think about parents that are religious and watching their children dying of cancer. Don’t you think they are praying for a miracle 🤔. Do you think a god is listening or is he just being mysterious.
It didn’t change my mind I believe in the Bible, I don’t need any scientific proof of any of it by faith I choose to live, because I know what’s in my heart is real 🙏
But not necessarily based on common sense.
So, you believe in the bible...a book penned by men, many of which were bent on creating a new religion. Don't you think they might have stretched the truth a bit?
@@blackholeentry3489 Not when so many people, most of which didn't know each other made such an accurate depiction of everything with no contradictions whatsoever to speak of. Its hard for a group of 3 to decide where to eat for lunch but yet so many authors can create a masterpiece such as the bible because of the holy spirit working through them. Heres an interesting fact for you. Even though most people who wrote the Bible didn't know each other. In the original language, Hebrew, In the first two books of the bible every 50 letters spells the word Torah. And in the 4th and 5th books of the bible they spell the word Torah backwards as if it's pointing back. If you look at the third chapter in the middle of this every 50 letters spells out YHWY which is Gods name.
@@johngodley256 If it was common sense it wouldn't be supernatural? If everything God did was natural or according to common sense it wouldn't be God like.
@@rushzei God has a LONG list of names he'll respond to, depending on which of the 2500 identified religions on this ole earth you opt to associate with. Arthur C Clarke once wrote a story entitled, "The Nine Billion Names of God."
I'm always glad to see just how many comments.thete are from trolls. It reminds me of Jesus when He said: "Seek me and you will find me".
They also cannot comprehend that faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.
Blessings to all.
So everyone with a different opinion than you as a troll? And every scientist who clarifies it’s not possible to have had, the appropriate number of animals is a troll? And every person who asked how kangaroos hopped all the way to Australia without leaving a single remain is a troll.
And every historian who clarifies that there were civilizations with written history that existed throughout the period the grade flood was supposed to have happened as a troll?
It sounds like you are not able to receive new information and change your beliefs. If that’s true, I would much rather be a troll than that.
…there is no evidence of a global flood. Flooding leaves behind very distinctive evidence. It never happened.
Faith is just another word for delusion. I prefer actual evidence. So I guess I must be a troll??
@@JohnsAircraftWalkarounds
In general, a lot of actual evidence turns out to be false over a period of time. The Theory of Evolution is a prime example of this. Good luck with that. Cheers.
false over time.
But you won't find me on the ark! Fools.
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 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.
Except providing enough food for everyone
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.
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." 😎🤗😉
Sceptic is the same as skeptic. It just depends on whether you are British or American.
Septic is the stinky word you're thinking of.

God speaks to animals. He directed them to the ark.
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 !
I’m a carpenter and I’ll tell you this, the amount of work that can be done in 8 hours is unbelievable.
So you work with wood and you don’t see a problem with the size and the stresses
How could Noah roundup all the animals, come on seriously! The CREATOR of the UNIVERSE and ALL MANKIND gave Noah the blueprint on how to build the ark! With those things in mind gathering all the animals needed would be nothing for God to accomplish. If you don't believe what the bible says in its entirety then you're calling GOD ALMIGHTY a liar, I'd rethink that and repent. The question of God creating the universe or everything just popping up out of nowhere and in PERFECT ORDER out of chaos (Big Bang) is an easy choice, GOD. I can see that we live in a created world and Universe, especially now that we've studied things unseen with microscopes and high powered telescopes . We CANNOT CREATE one SINGLE THING WITHOUT the materials that GOD GAVE US! Sure both are unimaginable for our tiny minds, however the bible does say “The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of his hands” (Ps. 19:1). It is impossible to live on this planet without recognizing God, as nature and the heavens are proof to His existence. You'll be held accountable whether or not you say nobody told me about God. Explain why the world's oceans have boundaries and don't completely flood the world, you can't because God Almighty put them in place.
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.
What a convoluted post...
I pray you gain wisdom in the art of "the gist of it"
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...

God bless you, sister! Thank you for your beautiful testimony. Jesus Christ is truly a savior in every way.🙌🙌✝️
I loved the comparison about being chosen, it's always fascinating to find out more under the surface, thanks for posting.
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.
Love the video! So informative.
Where did you get that Noah's Ark model?? I've been looking for one just like that.

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?

The Bible is trust worthy and reliable ✝️
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.

Married to a worldview that only supports material, natural, scientific explanations for biblical history the scoffer cannot imagine a world that operates outside of their limited knowledge and experience - what they can see and touch. A Sovereign Transcendent God authored the natural, physical laws. The physical, natural law is subject to Him, He is not subject to the physical, natural law. He can step into human history any time and in any manner He deems necessary or appropriate. We are, however, subject to the physical, natural limitations within our finite universe. From our limited vantage point it is foolish to declare that we possess the knowledge that denies God. The scoffer cannot countenance that because the physical natural world is what is transcendent and unalterable to the materialist. The materialist worldview that nothing begot everything is as foolish to the believer as the “fairy tale” of the ark is to the scoffer. One of them is right. The other is a fool.
@@johnhuval8165 Bible skeptics are not so much married to naturalism, but rather it is a conclusion based upon the world around us. The New Testament has demons everywhere that we do not see today. We know that the ancient world was full of magical thinking. The major problem with the ark story is that God hid all of the evidence that it happened and managed to fool all of the geologists, archaeologists, paleontologists, biologists, dendrochronologists, marine engineers and many more researchers. That is the real miracle. I don't think that materialists think that nothing begot everything, at least that is not what cosmologists propose.
its probably one of the most metaphorical stories since the Epic of Gilgamesh , any literal interpretation of it must reconcile with the ludicrous belief that it was 500 feet long and held two of every significant animal/reptile/avian all on one 500 foot long canoe...
theres only one name for something like that....mythos
Anti science lunatics. Magic isn't real. Flood myth isn't real. Dinosaurs went extinct 65 million years ago. Flood myth 2,400 Bce. Chinese dynasties kept going from before your Flood, no interuption.
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.

So God made the universe with life but couldn't make a boat but depended on a man to do something impossible like make that...how did he collect animals From different continents like Australia????
Indeed! Why would this god command someone to build an ark, and then flood the Earth? Why wouldn't it just smite every living creature except Noah's family?
You have a very finite and limited view of GOD.
because every continent was connected and there was only one as the video says
@@pfwag And you have no comprehension about consequences of inbreeding
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.
If facts are important considers this: throughout the Middle Ages under the Byzantines, people built replica Arcs to celebrate Noah, the flood and what they called “God’s Salvation” of Noah and family. Mt Ararat had many Arcs built, therefore they are not difficult to find. It is in the history books, not a matter of faith.

Where are the humans fossils alongside all he other creatures killed in the supposed flood?
Probably under an incredible amount of mud. Dinosaurs ran uphill where most are found. I think many people are a.k.a. Diotomaeous earth. Depending on conditions is how they would decompose.
Because most of the humans died in the flood as well as most of the animals.

@@d.montana6454 human bones are different from being fossils and we wouldn’t find them in a cavern.
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.
My Sunday School teacher told me that Moses wrote Genesis. She went on to say that Moses couldn't go into the promised land because he didn't pray in Jesus name.
The flood story comes from Genesis (6-9). The Church used to think Moses wrote Genesis. Most pastors understand now, that a few people wrote the Torah. There is no evidence of a Man named Moses. Belief in the Inerrant Word of God is problematic from Genesis 1.
There was a similar story written about a thousand years earlier.
“I am Sargon, mighty king, king of Akkad. My mother was high priestess; my father, I did not know; my kin live in the highlands. My city was Azupirani, on the bank of the Euphrates River. My mother, the high priestess, conceived me; in secret, she bore me. She placed me in a basket of bundled reeds and sealed the opening with tar. She cast me onto a river from which I could not climb out.
But the river bore me up, and it carried me to Akki, a water-drawer. Akki the Water-drawer lifted me out while dipping his bucket; Akki the Water-drawer raised me himself as an adopted son; Akki the Water-drawer put me in charge of his date cultivation…”
I believe there is a God. I wish my Christian friends would learn who God is. Belief in the Errant Bible is a problem if you lack understanding and you live your life by Faith.
If I could, I would shatter your faith in Moses, the Church and the Hebrew Scriptures. I hope you will learn who God is and what he wants you to do. This is my prayer for you.
Your Sunday school teacher was off her meds apparently...
The toughest question is "where did the poop from all of the animals in a sealed vessel go?"
if you believe in GOD you don't want to ask a question about it, don't you think GOD could take care of that
How difficult would it have been to just muck out the stalls and toss it overboard? Not even a mildly tough question.
All the Christian ate it,that's y there full of shit..haaaa haaa haaa
@@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.
@@randybird9979 Jesus??
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.
@@kriegjaeger
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.
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.
Bravo 👏. Don't facts get itself way of feelings.
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.
God gave the instructions. God Himself closed the door of the Ark. How dare we question that GOD would not divinely protect and sustain Noah, his family members and the variety of animals He instructed be put aboard the Ark? God is omnipotent, omniscient, and tells us what is required for salvation; that’s really all we need.
That's right, I too believe that God held the ark together and kept everyone safe after all he holds our bodies together.
Noah obeyed God he trusted him and did what he said to do for salvation
then God did his part and held it together just like he does with our soul salvation
we do what he says believe the gospel trust in Jesus's finished work on the cross
then he does the rest it's all about Jesus. 🙋♀️

What about the carnivores? How do you manage their feed (gots for example) and feed them aswell for a year?

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!

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.

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
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.

This is the fallacy of personification. Rock formations do not “conclude and show,” nor do they “refute” (i.e., they cannot think). This is falsely applying human-like attributes to something inanimate. From a logical perspective, this is absurd and fallacious.
James Hutton mistakenly interpreted these formations as evidence of long ages. However, others, such as creationists, have interpreted them from a different perspective-the Flood-in light of what God says on the subject in Genesis 6-8. Such rock layers were formed, deformed, tilted, and eroded, and more sediment came and covered them. Such can easily be explained by the catastrophic Flood without appealing to millions of years of slow processes. Keep in mind that not a single experiment has been run over millions of years. But there are observable scientific examples of rapidly formed rock layers and sedimentation, rapid rock cementation, rapid canyon formation, etc. within short periods of time (see The New Answers Book 2: “Are Millions of Years Required for Geological Processes?”). passage from answers in genesis

Word of advice. If you want to know about the possibility of a global flood 4,000 yrs ago, as a geologist who has studied the evidence. Also, The Egyptians were building the pyramids right through your flood timeline.
Where’s the advise?
If Noah had 2 of every animal what did he feed them for all to stay alive?
Well according to Sheldon’s mother, the carnivores were fed on the floating bodies of drowned sinners!
Most of these animals, could've been babies of its kind.
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.
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 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.

It's so incredibly braindead, aren't you ashamed?
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.

You need to expand your vision of GOD. If you REALLY want to be educated, I suggest reading the books:
Case for Christ by Strobel
Evidence that Demands a Verdict by McDowell
@@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.
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)
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!!!

No, we don't believe because we aren't indoctrinated morons, that's why.
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.

Is there anything in Genesis about what the land was like after the waters receded? It sounds like a pole shift and crustal displacement.

@saintnash1 My heart goes out to you, man. No one seeks for God, especially if you don't think you need him. Our life expectancy is roughly in the range of 70 to 100 years. Death is wages. We are being paid in death for our natural sin against a Holy and righteous God because of our decisions in this life. Jesus came to suffer and die for you, my friend. The last words Jesus said on the cross was, "it is finished." You dont have to earn your way into heaven because the debt had already been paid for you. All you have to do is repent and believe that God in the flesh came down to reconcile himself to us so that we may be saved. Our God died for us. That's how loving and compassionate he is. I believe the Bible is the word of our God because it is a collection of historical documents written down by eye witnesses during the lifetime of many other eyewitnesses. Plus, the thousands of prophecies that have come to pass historically. History is not repeatable, nor observable, and not repeatable. On top of all of that, i was spiritually dead inside before i was saved, i was living my life how ever i wanted and I didn't think I needed God to save me. But God did save me and supernaturally changed my hardened heart to a heart of flesh and into a loving and kind person that still struggles with sin every day. I don't know why God uses such a sinful man like me to convey this message to you but thats just how our God works. I am praying right now that you will get revelation in Jesus's name. Amen.

@@NoGMOGod Now let's see, the bible is supposedly the word of God and the authors were inspired by God to write the truth, Well God didn't do a very good job of proof reading because there are a lot of outright lies and stories that just don't stack up.
For example, Samson was bound by ropes and as he was delivered to the Philistines he broke his bonds and grabbed a piece of bone using it as a weapon, he then set about slaughtering 1000 armed and trained Philistine soldiers by himself, this is incredible because even if he was super strong and he killed two or three it would be possible, but to believe that he was surrounded by 1000 armed men and he killed them all is just a blatant lie, maybe God helped him and if that was the case why didn't God just kill them himself and spare Samson the trouble? but apparently God didn't intervene just as he's not going to intervene if you are ever in trouble.
The jaw bone of an ass that Samson used as a weapon would have been worn out and broken after the first 100 kills and Samson would have looked like a porcupine covered with spears and arrows, how long did it take him to finish the battle? killing 1000 soldiers must have taken a long time, possibly weeks of constant battle without a rest. This old time Superman story might have been believed by people living in the dark ages but it stretches credulity to the limit today.
The story of Samson is a lie, just as the story of Jonah is a lie, he supposedly lived inside a fish for three days before being vomited up on the shore, the only fish large enough to swallow a man whole is a whale and if that happened he would have been drowned in the whales stomach almost immediately, After three days the whale swam to the shore to deposit Jonah on dry land, very convenient. If it had ejected him in deep water he would have been fish food, Oh well, blind faith covers everything.
Now let's get to Noah, if there was torrential rain for forty days and nights the sea levels around the world would hardly rise at all (Google-Physics 333 Noah’s flood) hardly enough to get the Ark afloat and there would still be plenty of dry land, The Ark floated around for the best part of a year yet there was enough food aboard to feed 500,000 animals, the animals traveled back to their own countries after the cruise finished, the story of Noah is another lie.
Now let's talk about Moses, NO let's not talk about him because his stories are more incredible and unbelievable, The tower of Babel NO, Sodom and Gomorrah NO, Jesus feeding the multitude with a handful of fish and twelve loaves of bread NO, walking on water etc. etc. NO, we should leave these fanciful stories to your common sense, Gee I'm asking a lot to expect common sense from Christians.

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.
It seems to me that, Noah didn't go out and gather the animals, but oversaw their entrance into the ark. So if Father called them through the spirit, then it's fare to claim that he called the ones he wanted to call.
The only problem with that is that the land would have had to move during the flood.. That would create it so much friction that the water would have started to boil and nothing would have survived.
@@defenestratefalsehoods if you read scripture, you'll know that the waters came mostly from under the earth. And if you look on Google earth, you can see where there was more dry land connecting continents, as a result of lower sea levels.
@joshuabrown9413 to cover the highest mountain at that time, 3x the amount of water on the entire earth would be needed. 20,000 feet of water.
Also how do you account for the people who didn't know they drowned. I look into real human history show the Egyptians had a thriving civilization 4300 years ago. We know who was Pharaoh at that time before, during and after the flood. The Aboriginal Australians have over 50,000 years of history on their island and didnt know they drowned. The indus valley civilization and Mesopotamia civilization all had thriving governments. How do you account for the people who never drowned?
The great step pyramid and sphinx as well as Stonehenge predate the flood and show no sign of water damage. How do account for that?
How do you account for the large meteor that struck the earth millions of years ago killing most of the life on earth.
I'm sorry, the bible with its 6300 year old universe dont add up to proven earth and human history. Unless you have some evidence that say otherwise.
What boats did the animals sail themselves in to get from places like brazil Australia etc to the middle east ? because theres no proof the land was one mass like some like to put forward.
@@joshuabrown9413 ,this lower land connecting the continents is total bull,....also i didn't realise they had google in Noah's time 😂
So when there are questions that can't be answered by any logical reasoning (of which there are MANY) it's just...god did it. Super great arguments 🙄
'Hey, kids! We're going on vacation to an exciting theme park!'
'Oh wow, Disney World?'
'No, even better! The Genocide of all Living Things by Drowning Park!'
'Oh, OK... great.'
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..
God takes lives every day my man. This is nothing new. None of us are getting out of here alive.
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.”
My mom cross stitched a beautiful Noahs arc scene for me.

great addition to the conversation here. thank you for your valuable input.

@@dankmatter3068 You threatened this gem:
"Repent or burn"
You just have to love that Christian hate.
Actually, it is nasty unkind people using an old crappy book to hate on others.
So apart from the fact that Noah was well aware of the reason for the Ark, he also used people he knew God would kill. So he was using the sinners for the labour to build the saviour of the animals.
He promised to pay them when the construction was complete.
@@beepbop6697 Don't you love it?
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.😂
This certainly changed my mind, I am even more convinced of my Atheism.
@ralphsimpson5230
Can you please explain?
Meant respectfully.
I really pray you keep an open mind and get to know Jesus.
At least you put it in writing. It’ll make the prosecution’s case much easier.
You do realize that God created you with a self-destruct mode right? the button is called, aptly enough "atheism." You are never more than about Seven minutes from death, could be mere seconds, but the slowest, besides sickness, disease, or infirmity, and barring accidental death, is about seven minutes.
But my God has promised me, 70 years, 80 if by reason of Good Health; and then, in the Bible, He publishes exactly how to get and keep your good health. Having recently turned 70, I am now walking down the backside of the curve of life, as healthy or better, than I ever was. and I have no so-called family doctor, and take no meds of any kind, nor do I eat particularly healthy, nor do I exercise;
I'm what you call, blessed! Thanks be to AlmightyGod, YHWH is His name.
The thing is, among the Believers, God plays no favorites; anyone of the Believers could be living under the same blessing. That they are not, is to their ignorance or to their shame.
If you are painting all Believers with the same brush, that is to your everlasting ignorance or shame.

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.
As the carnivorous animals exited the ark they were hungry and ate rest of the herbivores 😂
Great point but this will go right over their heads. Their intellectual dishonesty keeps them forever ignorant.
Would the lions have eaten all the rabbits and sheep? Probably, but my understanding is; Consciousness is fundamental and our finite and limited minds use stories as metaphors to understand the infinite.
No jokes, but what is your understanding of the human experience?
@@83Bongodon’t we all have some belief-related* untruths.
I’m not saying what you believe is wrong, we just need to allow others the room and place to fit “it” into a context that fits their worldview.
Before you attack me, ask me questions about what it is you think I am saying. Thanks, Tony
* (Intellectual implies the ability to understand the world around me. Maybe, I’m the dumb one to your intention or meaning. If I don’t unquestionably believe what you believe, or the Bible, as it is written without question, then I lack intelligence)?
@@tonyg.emmijr.6521 "Intellectual dishonesty" Intentionally disregarding, avoiding, twisting, ignoring the truth that don't align with your beliefs. Christians are experts at this. Blissfully ignorant.
@@83Bongo Yeah because if there was an infinitely powerful being he couldn't keep them from being hungry? You're assuming a God that is all powerful can't do something.
I wish I could have been there when Noah's neighbors complained about the Ark blocking their driveways. Hey Noah, can you get that thing out of my driveway. I have to get the chariot into the garage man.
The HOA fined him
Except you would not be invited into the Ark.
Old idea man. Bill Cosby did a routine that included this many years ago.
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 whole two of every animal kind of throws you off, especially considering there were more species of animals alive than than there are now, but there are flood stories all over the world on every continent so that definitely speaks to something
There are more species now than there were kinds of animals on the Ark, but less kinds of animals left today than were on the Ark. Kinds does not equate to species...
Don't confuse 'kind' with species. He would only need 2 equines, not 2 donkeys, 2 mules, 2 horses, 2 zebras. Same with big cat-maybe it was the lion, from them the tigers, jaguars, cougars came about. It's not hard to fathom at all.
@@e.witover4222 but then all those other species all go extinct
@@magicpyroninjayeah and new onea re-emerge
@@magicpyroninja Correct, but the ones needed to re-populate the Earth were saved. And from their DNA species from the 'kind's were born according to their climate, etc.. Plus if you read Genesis 6:4 about the giants, they corrupted the beasts too, hence the hybrids of legends. Perhaps those were the ones left to drown-abominations.
The hull was made from woven bark strips and pitch. This method is used in fibreglass hulls today. The superstructure was made from Cypress .
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 🤣

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.
Warm regards either way,
