Noah's Ark Fact or Fiction?

[Dravin]

IIRC if one goes with the narrative my understanding is earth was a pangaea like state (Genesis 10:25) during all this meaning there wouldn't have been an ocean in the way. Of course that's still a long way to travel outside of your home range Terra Firma all the way or not.

Personally I don't know how to reconcile miraculous happenings and our understanding of how the world works. Science sheds all kinds of doubt on the idea of somebody laying dead three days (not on life support or metabolism slowing temperatures) and coming back to life, not only that but in a body that cannot be killed but I truly believe Christ was resurrected. Its interesting how each of us all draw our own lines in the sand about what is just to big/coincidental/complicated to be true or not.

Of course I truly believe that our belief in the resurrection has significant impact on are state in the next life but our decision on wither the flood is allegorical or literal not so much.

We confirmed a pattern of iron on this large boat shape.

Had to go there myself because there were opinions against the site and opinions for. The opinions against said there was no pattern of iron.

Personally, I believe anything is possible. I think it would be really neat if it were proven true.

You realize that rainbows have always 'existed' right? It's just the refraction and reflections of light off water droplets in the air.

Blessed are those who have not seen and yet believe. I am not concerned to find the spot or the ark.
It is sufficient the the Bible says it happened. I am fine with that. If that didnt happen or if I have to see it to believe it, then what faith do I have. My eyes have lied to me many times. My God has never lied to me.

I hate to bump an old thread, but there was a bit of information that I thought was interesting. I watched a documentary talking about the Earth's underground. They talked about how as you dig deeper, it gets hotter and hotter and how there are tons of species of microscopic organisms living down there. Anyway, to the point. Scientists now believe that there may be more water under the surface of the Earth than there is above it.

Kind of makes you think about Noah's time. If that belief is true, there would be more than enough water to submerge the Earth.

Would there? If that water is above ground.. what would be below it? A cavity of some sort, and if that cavity is not filled.. well.. the water surely isn't going to rise.

They found a fossilized wooden vessel in Iran which fits the age and description of Noah's ark, but in the bible the ark is supposed to represent the fetus and the amniotic fluid in swims in, carrying all the animals "two by two" or genetic chromosomes which went into the ark.
