Noah Built More Than One Ark.

[Yeah_Right]

Where did that much water come from?

And where did all that water go?

It would explain how all the animals were saved, and it would explain why there are flood myths around the world. Search for "Noah's Ark, Discover the Science of Man's Oldest Mystery" on Amazon.

The title would be better rendered as 'Noah's Ark, Discover the "Science" of Man's Oldest Mystery'.

Though one could as easly put the last three words in quotes as well. All men know that "Man's Oldest Mystery" is actually why women find us attractive. In comparison to that mystery, an old myth about a boat is a minor issue.

Of course he used more than one ark! How else would he deliver all the presents?

 

[Elizabeth I]

Well, you have to admit: This ground-breaking hypothesis would at least explain why the ark was found multiple times already.

You may be on to something! Using your theory, and extrapolating from the number of pieces of wood sold to gullible tourists, there were at least 400,000 "true crosses" assembled.

On a related note, I have always wondered why God had to flood the world anyway. Couldn't he just exterminate the offending organisms with the touch of a button or something ?

Or just hit the "reset" button.

Thanks for the messages. Sorry for the advertising thing, I would have liked to link to my YouTube videos that show the satellite images, but I have to post 15 times before I can do that. If anyone wants to check that out, search "Noah's Ark, Amazing" on YouTube and you'll find them.

For those of you who think the Noah story is ridiculous, so did I a year ago. But now I believe there is a basis of truth that the bible preserved in written form... other cultures around the world preserved similar flood stories as oral myth. Check out Graham Hancock's "Underworld" to learn about civilizations flooded by Ice Age melting. What changed my view are the 9 arc-shaped plateaus I found. All of these have more or less an arc-angle of 120 degrees. Four of them are at the geographical center of continents. The Asian, Australian, and American arcs have possible links to ancient blond populations. I now believe the Noah's Ark story is just part of a global undertaking by a seafaring civilization to build a refuge from the 200-foot sea level rise caused by Ice Age melting.

If anyone knows of any more arc-shaped plateaus, let me know. I found nine so far, but I'm sure there are more.

 

[Filippo Lippi]

Arc-angle looks and sounds a bit like archangel. I was skeptical before, but now I think you could be on to something.

Big heap o' cats!

Actually, it was only the unfit to eat that went in pairs. There were more than one pair of all the Kosher animals. Of course, how many of those Kosher animals got off the ark isn't told.

Kosher food has sometimes been accurately described as what is left after the goyim take the good bits.

[pedant]I'd rather see him hock them than hawk them[/pedant]

Ya learn something new every day. Thanks.

Graham Hancock is an entertaining writer. His books are fun to read and imagine what life might be like if it where true. Hancock is more a science fiction writer than he is a scientific writer.

Fixed.

Anyway, mister Moen, if you think the name of someone trying to keep alive the Atlantis myth - remember, Atlantis was first simply mentioned in a tale, and all evidence points to it simply being just that, a tale with a moral to it. Just like Aesop's fable contained talking animals to bring home the point of his morals better. - then I'm afraid I still won't take your claims seriously. He simply doesn't have any scientific credibility, and he certainly hasn't brought any indisputable evidence for his many silly claims.

But hey, here are a couple of links to help you understand just why the entire flood couldn't possibly have happened if it had to stay consistent with the laws of physics. In particular, I suggest the parts about how the rain would crush anything, how the vapour would have steamed everything to death, how such a large boat (or even several smaller boats) with so many animals would need a lot of caretakes, etc. etc:

http://www.talkorigins.org/faqs/faq-noahs-ark.html

In short, the whole Noah story goes entirely against pretty much every scientific branch there is. Geology, biology, physics, and also against common sense, for that matter.

All true, but interestingly (and irrelevant to your point, I know), I have read elsewhere that whoever wrote the story knew a little bit about boat building, and gave us a neat insight into early uses of natural polymerization.

Wouldn't at all surprise me. Most authors who write fiction stories that take place in "our" world usually tend to do at least some basic research about that kind of thing to keep the susension of disbelief intact.

And where did all that water go?

In the original cosmology, Yahweh created the Earth as a pocket separating the waters of chaos into two halves: the land, and the firmament, a dome above the world.

Upon the flood, Yahweh opens up windows above and breaks up the fonts below, so there's plenty of water, and it floods up from below as much as rains down from the sky.

This much is in the Bible. We now know that cosmology is incorrect. Therefore the Bible is false, unless you re-interpret this as allegory.

 

[Kopji]

Silly unbelievers.
All of this is easily explained:

I just love them. Without a hint of irony they come up with gems like this:

Genesis 2:5 tells us that there was no rain before man was created. Some have suggested that there was no rainfall anywhere on the earth until the time of the flood. However, the Bible does not actually say this, so we should not be dogmatic.

 

[NobbyNobbs]

If 'god' had his hand in this my didn't he just conceive the females magically, then only 1 of each animal be needed, or he could just create them again? The story makes no sense no matter which way you look at it.

Alternatively, just take the male of each species onto the ark, and after things dry up, put them to sleep, remove a rib.....

 

[Sunstealer]

I'm familiar with Hancock and his books along with the controversies, however, one thing that is agreed upon is that sea level has risen 130m (over a period of roughly 10,000 years) since the end of the last ice age 18,000 years ago. Bearing in mind that the majority of the worlds population then as now, lives in coastal regions it's not too hard to reason that a) populations are susceptible to flooding and b) previously occupied lands with civilisations are now under water.

I don't find it hard to believe that flood myths are found in all cultures nor do I find it hard to believe that remnants of civilisations are found in current coastal waters. Like most true stories that are transferred orally they become twisted as each orator adds/subtracts from the story and links the story to cultural beliefs of the time. After a period no-one knows what the original story was.

Unfortunately alot of normally rational people suspend all disbelief or questioning of a story simply because it is written in a book or told by a preacher of that book. They are akin to small children who haven't learnt how to ask "why?" or "how?" yet.
