It is beautiful how presentations on God's Word mostly attract atheists. They are inherently drawn to Him even though they deny Him.

Huge respect for the editor. I have no idea how long the original was but this final product was packed full of info in under 22 minutes! Well done!

One thing you are forgetting is that water has different characteristics. There is salt water which is common in the oceans. There is fresh water that occupies lakes and rivers and there is also brackish water that is found in bays and river outlets into the ocean that has a lower salt content than the open ocean. These different water types support different types of types of marine life that would not survive in other mixtures. Many water dwelling creatures feed near a shoreline which would have been gone for 10 + months. With a flood that covers all mountain tops, all plant life would have died as well , so where did the dove find an olive branch?

"How many people built the Ark? We just don't 'Noah' " (know)! 😄 Anyone else catch that? All joking aside, this is a wonderful clip, and I agree wholeheartedly with this speaker!

Jeremiah 32:17 ‘Ah, Lord God! It is you who have made the heavens and the earth by your great power and by your outstretched arm! Nothing is too hard for you. God reassures Jeremiah (32:16-44) After buying a field, Jeremiah began to have doubts. It seemed to him almost too much to expect that God could allow such an unfaithful the people ever to return to their land. He therefore prayed to God (16), seeking to reassure himself that nothing is too hard for a God who is so loving and powerful (17-19). He reminds God of his steadfast faithfulness and miraculous power, which had saved his people in the past (20-22). But the people have been disobedient and have now brought this justly deserved punishment upon themselves (23). With the enemy siege machines battering the city walls, Jeremiah fears that Jerusalem’s end has come. He wonders whether, in buying the field, he has correctly understood God’s will (24-25). God replies that nothing is too hard for him. Certainly he will destroy Jerusalem (26-29), for this is a judgment on the nation because of its idolatry (30-31). Kings, administrators, priests, prophets and common people alike have turned from God and followed pagan religions (32-35). However, after God has disciplined his people in foreign lands, he will bring them back to their land (36-37). He will do a work within them so that they will know him in a more spiritual relationship than they have previously experienced. They will have a renewed devotion to God and a fresh experience of God’s blessing (38-41). Jeremiah need have no doubts about the wisdom of buying the piece of land from his relative. The day will certainly come when this piece of land will be returned to Jeremiah’s family. In fact, throughout the country people will buy and sell land as they did before (42-44). The Lord has shown his faithfulness and power many times throughout history. Why would these things be too difficult for the Lord?

1 Thessalonians 2:13 And we also thank God continually because, when you received the word of God, which you heard from us, you accepted it not as a human word, but as it actually is, the word of God, which is indeed at work in you who believe. In this verse Paul expresses his unceasing gratitude that the Thessalonian Christians had responded with faith when he preached to them. They accepted what he said as God's Word and not the word of men. Paul understood that the Word of God had taken hold of their lives and was bearing spiritual fruit. This comment expands on the remarks made by Paul at the start of this letter, when he also referred to his "constant" mention of the Thessalonians in his prayers. Psalm 1 illustrates the power of God's Word in the life of the person who gives it a warm reception. It causes that person to be "like a tree planted by streams of water that yields its fruit in its season" (Psalm 1:3). This acceptance is not meant to be blind, or foolish, however. The Bible specifically commends those who seek to confirm the truth of what they hear, even from someone like Paul (Acts 17:11).

Do you think it possible that perhaps gopher wood was a tree species that existed before the Flood but was wiped out and became extinct because of it? Perhaps that's why we don't really know what it is ?

I am so happy that we have man like this in the world, because when it comes to factual truth, the Lord leaves no stone unturned, which reinforces my Testimony of the truth of God's written word. This is the standard and definition of research.

I love Tim's passion and his clear and concise answers.

1 Thessalonians 5:21 But test everything; hold fast what is good.

A HYPOTHETICAL - Just suppose the Ark met with stormy weather and sunk, half a million animals and eight crew drowned. This could have happened because apparently the Ark was afloat for about a year and they were bound to meet some heavy seas at some stage, imagine the workload on the eight crew, feeding and attending to 500,000 animals and all the problems that would entail. Anyway the Ark sinks and every person and animal dies, the fish swimming around would be the only creatures left, gradually the water dissipates and land appears once again, (who knows where the water dissipated to) the fish gradually develop limbs and begin to breathe air without gills and they slowly turn into small land animals, as they evolve their size increases and over the next few million years we see a myriad of animals including dinosaurs inhabit the Earth, Can you see where this is going? Meanwhile old God is sitting on his cloud wondering where he went wrong, he murdererd the entire population of the globe and created an environmental nightmare just to prove some obscure point and now we are right back where we started from. Satan is not a happy chappie either, he has to wait millions of years until humans reappear so he can begin to teach them his evil ways again. If God is infallible then what went wrong, did he just prove to himself that he has the same small brainpower as man, who he created in his own image, and he's not as smart as he thought he was, what is the point of having super powers if he hasn't got the ability to look into the future and correct all the mistakes he's going to make because his brain power is limited? There are a lot of questions about this fishy bible story but Christians shouldn't think too much about all the details because blind faith covers everything.

A few quick questions, did they put freshwater fish on the ark? Since freshwater fish would have all died if the world flooded, and how did the kangaroos get to the ark? Did they ride on the back of whales to get there?

10:52 Maybe he said Make me an Ark, "NOW GO FOR" wood. 🤣🤣🤣🤣

That's why I love this organization because they truly defend the origins of the earth, in relation to proving the veracity of God's Word.

The Argentinosaurs trying to get its fat body into the ark with Noah and a mammoth trying to push it in like a luggage case in a plane storage made me choke 😂

1) Dinosaurs perished in the flood. 2) Noah didn’t need to bring full sized adult animals.

4:03 my native language is not English or Hebrew, but when I see the phrase "seven seven, a male and his female", I automatically know that it means "seven pairs consisting of one male and one female each." Well done.

WELL DONE!! Thank you!!

Okay, your first statement about sea creatures already derails your entire angle. Anyone who's ever owned fish would know that you can't just simply dump any fish or other marine animals into the ocean and they'll be perfectly fine. Freshwater fish tend to shrivel and die in salt water, while saltwater fish usually swell up and die in freshwater. Secondly, the ocean isn't all one temperature. It's far warmer and cooler in different places just the same as land. Saying you wouldn't need the sea creates because they already have the ocean in just silly.

The assertion that biblical "Kinds' are roughly equivalent to "Family" level is a claim without any supporting evidence. This voids the rest of the video.

Matthew 19:26 says..... But Jesus looked at them and said, “With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.” Now this scripture,in particular, is talking about salvation and how to get to heaven but God gives a very important biblical principle here. That nothing is impossible with God. Surely if he can save anyone, God can perform the miracles that occurred during the flood. Where is your faith? Do you have any? The disciples' jaws may have dropped when Jesus said it was easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich person to get into the kingdom of God. Their culture thought of rich people as favored by God and able to accomplish anything. When Jesus says the rich can't attain heaven, it would have left them wondering how anyone, at all, could hope to attain salvation. Christ responds with another shocking remark, one that might have been confusing at first. The disciples likely expected Jesus to say that only those who are truly humble or poor in spirit can be saved (Matthew 5:3). Or, that only those with childlike faith and dependence on God can be saved (Matthew 19:13-15). He says none of that. Instead, Jesus agrees with the disciples that it is impossible- "with man"-for anyone to be saved. This expands on Jesus' earlier statements about how difficult it is for the wealthy to be saved (Matthew 19:23-24). In human terms, no one can achieve salvation (Titus 3:5). This goes back to Jesus' conversation with the rich young ruler who discovered his own goodness was not so good, after all (Matthew 19:16-22). Jesus had said that only God is good with the implication that only the good can be saved. So not just the rich, but the poor and the middle class and the religious and sinners are all in the same boat. It is impossible for human beings to do any good thing to secure eternal life with God in heaven. That's not the end of Jesus' statement, though. He says that with God all things are possible. He does not close the door on human salvation, but He does declare that God must bring it about. He does not, at this time, explain how God will bring it about: through His death on the cross for the sins of humanity.

I don't normally complain, but the jump editing is rough to watch.

Skeptics do not care if you watch this video. They are not that small-minded. And they are always open to real evidence. Emphasis on REAL.

I really like the way this one moves!! I saw the original which is much longer and offers more details and explanation. I personally liked that one more, but this one would be terrific for a younger bunch I think. Or maybe just a more impatient bunch! Love this!😊

Thank you thank you for ending with a clear expression of THE DOOR, and why Jesus identifies himself and the only door to the Father. Oh Amen Amen. Maranatha!!!

I really like this quick editing style. Fun.

A most excellent video and very well edited. Just like my first ride on Big Thunder RailRoad in Disneyland. Grab ahold of something and hang on tight. Scream and holler to the finish then jump back in line to do it again cuz you didn’t catch it all the first time. Loved AIG’s presentation.

Why would any skeptic not want people to watch this video? It does a good job demonstrating how a literal reading of Genesis is so indefensible, this is how bad an attempt to defend it comes across. You basically admit that the ark would have been too small for every animal by lumping together different species, genera, and even families to make broad "kinds" (that we can observe don't exist), meaning you need super-hyper-mega-uber-evolution to get all the species we have today, and you still need to go to the baby animals argument, which ignores the fact that it would take a lot of time to care for a baby animal, and it would put your labor needs on the arc way above 8 people. He then falsely claims that AiG uses inter-fertility as a criteria for "kinds" even though different genera of the same family often are not interfertile. He then says they err on the side of splitting when they don't know if groups are inter-fertile, which he knows isn't true because AiG regularly lumps non-interfertile groups into the same "kind." Why would skeptics not want people to watch AiG making a fool of itself?

I appreciate the time and effort you put into your work AIG. As a believer myself it's nice to see the Bible come to life and this greatly encourages our faith. It's a much needed ministry and you are appreciated. Thank you.

Thank you for your time in making this video

Great job on this video "Answer"ing common questions. Looking forward to spending time with y'all in less than 2 weeks - November 3-6. Look forward to our annual recharge.

FUN FACT: Before the flood, Ham was born. BTW, Ham (Cham in Hebrew) means "hot, heat". Why did Noah call his second son that? Did a global warming/climate change happen when Ham was born? Who knows? 🤷

THANKS FOR SHARING THIS GOD BLESS

2:55 and that's why there's so many dinosaur fossils. Also, notice how any time you find road kill the carcass is completely torn apart by the birds? Yet these fossils are perfectly preserved. Increasing the likelihood of a great flood. Nice video!

I love 💗 your explanation of this. Thank you! Amen

Can you guys do this for the Nathaniel Jeansen videos on genealogies?

You mention a part of the debate with Bill Nye(which was a great debate by the way I think anyone should watch the whole thing with an open mind). In another part of that debate he speaks about the speed at which the roughly 6000 kinds of animals on the ark would need to evolve at to create what we have now… it was astronomically fast and doesn’t really seem plausible yet we still have all these amazing animals. A similar point was also made with freeze cycles and how we would need hundreds of freeze cycles to get some of observations we currently have. How would your beliefs help explain this?

Yep all those facts are awesome but what it led him to in the end was most important and I'm thankful this video is out there.

Gilgamesh is still laughing.....he should be suing for plagiarism

What about salt water creatures and fresh water creatures? The oceans were initially fresh but became saltier with time due to runoff from salt in the ground. Studies show the oceans are getting saltier every year. Some animals slowly became acclimated to salty water via natural selection (individuals which were tolerant to salt water continued on in the oceans) while other animals remained in fresh water. This is why bull sharks in Nicaragua live in fresh water while other sharks live in salt water.

I tend to accept the hypothetical view of the "water canopy" surrounding the earth; which would have been a crystal-clear ice/water barrier protecting the planet from UV and excessive radiation; it also would increase barometric pressure and allow for a much greater oxygen concentration. That would speak to longer life, larger creature and human size, robust oxygenation of the blood - *and* the possibility of no clouds (rain), as well as no rainbows since the sun's light was diffused within a golden sky (different light spectrum). it's also where the flood waters came from, along with the fountains of the deep.

Grateful. Praise our Lord Jesus Christ.

Fantastic video. At 19:40 he answered why I fit in with those that believe it hadn’t rained before the flood from Hebrews 11:7 *Most of all* he covers the example of salvation. Everything in the Bible points to Jesus.

Yep and I believe in fairies

THANK YOU! Praise be to God!!!

What is important is not the type of wood used BUT the fact that they coated the Ark with pitch which makes it waterproof. Excellent talk.

Thank you keep sharing information, stay strong.

So what was the salinity of the water during the flood? Was it fresh water or salt water? In either case how did sea creatures survive a full year in freshwater or how did freshwater creatures survive in saltwater for a full year? Also how did every animal survive after the flood? All plants have been submerged for a full year so everything would have been dead when they emerged from the ark.

I believe the flood happened science and Archaeology have proven it but The only one question that always pickles me about Noah ark. One group of people was on the ark that wasn’t mixed raced 🤨 Why do we have several different species of man ie. Caribbean. Asian. Chinese. Arabs and whites. It’s a valid question ✌️

This is a smart idea for all AIG’s presentations. Unfortunately, most aren’t willing to sit down for a 45 minute presentation. Around 20 is more manageable for people starting out.

Definitely food for thought. Considering that all the scriptures and holy books are written by man.I believe man created God. Looking at the history of all the trouble and wars caused by religion, I think being a non believer is the best option.

The Ark was a football field and a half long, including the height made it very capable of housing 6,000 animals and Noah’s family. Great explanation of the ark!

A 510 foot vessel isn't all that big. It's less than half the size of an aircraft carrier, and a wooden vessel would require a lot of interior structures and framework, reducing available space. Then there's ventilation. A modern ship has elaborate air circulation systems, whose importance becomes instantly clear when there's a power outage. Then there's illumination, fresh water and waste disposal. . . the list grows. It just isn't plausible, even if you reduce the number of animals down to "only" 6000.

How exactly is a “kind” defined and how would you explain the variety of species that exist today without evolution?

When I get to heaven, there are some documentary movies I want to watch and how the ark, the animals and the flood mechanism all came together is one of them. I don't think there were rainbows before the flood. It would make no sense to have a rainbow, then flood the earth, and then say that the same rainbow is a promise not to flood the earth again. People would not have seen that rainbow as a strong promise if it had been seen before the flood, and it would have left more room for people to say well, He did it before and there was a rainbow beforehand. God made a big deal out of the rainbow that He put in the sky, and to this day, we believe God's promise. God is the God of the weather. He created the whole earth and the universe, and it is therefore not unthinkable that he would have changed the atmosphere to bring about rain for the first time, or to at least change some things so that a rainbow would shine. There is evidence of worldwide flooding - some archaeologists call it a flood while others just say that there used to be seas or ocean in that location. There are whale carcasses that have been found in the Sahara Desert for example.

Well done, my man! Well done!

Thank you for sharing this.

It makes sense: a 600-year-old man built a boat, took 7 pairs of all kinds of animals, floated around for 40 days, then parked his boat somewhere on a mountain , all the animals went home: Australia, North Pole, America: D And we all lived to happily ever after.

Well edited, well articulated, well researched, and gospel presented at the end. Keep it up

Not to nitpick, but I think the royal cubit had a logical basis and the measurement from the elbow to the tip of the middle finger was only an approximation for day to day use for applications which didn't need precision. The royal cubit is 20.5 inches, we think. 1/3600th of a nautical mile is about 20.25 inches (1/60th of a second of the earth's circumference).

There are lots of misconceptions regarding the ark and the building of it. Thinking about it I don't think I've ever heard a sermon on the ark or did a Bible study, so the misconceptions are just taken as fact. Thank you, I learned some new things.

I never had a problem of how Noah fit all the animals in the Ark. Not long before God created a full universe and a new planet with life. He could recreate it at any time he wanted.

The ark was 450 feet long, 75 feet wide and 45 feet high, with three stories and many rooms inside. The ark was a large floating chest not a boat with pointed bow as some suggest. The breeding boundaries according to each specie [“bible kind” ] were not and could not be crossed. Some investigators have said that, had there been as few as 43 “kinds” of mammals, 74 “kinds” of birds, and 10 “kinds” of reptiles in the ark, they could have produced the variety of species known today. All the marine creatures remained outside the ark and the dinosaurs died off.

I love seeing these atheist pose questions rather than just blindly attack. It makes for some cool conversation.

I just found the click-bait title funny. No, skeptics don't care at all if you watch this video. Why would they?

I have a question. Since Every creature regires water for life! If there were +/- 6700 animals alone, 1 gal. average per day = 6700 X 365 = 2,445,500 gals.! Where was this water stored? He had 1 sealed door below water line, 1 or 2 windows, no doors mentioned on deck or top...therefore he had to have on board for daily use before the door closed! Couldn't collect it in buckets held out the windows! Excrements from 6700 animals would have been impossible to deal with! Ark just happened to "rest" on a conveniently flat area 500 feet long...ON A MOUNTAIN?????Door magically opens and 6700 animals calmly walk down a mountain to end up 1000's of miles away in all directions. Millions of corpses everywhere. NO food source would have survived submerged for over a year! Story is a biblical version of the Epic of Gilgamesh in Sumerian times. Earth was NOT completely covered in 5 miles deep water entirely. Not possible. Bible speaks of giants before and after. How is that rational in any way? 8 billion today from 4 sets of parents only 4000 yrs. ago? No! At most 120 generations. example. Each father produces 100 in downline family in 100 yrs. so 100X 4 = only 400 in first 100 yrs. Cannot reach 8 billion in that short span.

I absolutely loved listening to Tim. Watched the full length video and it was packed with so much humor and information at the same time there wasn’t a single dull moment. 👏 Wonderfully presented! 🙂

they will argue still no matter how much detail you try to tell the story. just as God commands us to try and save souls, the story will play out as God has provided.. not many will make it into heaven

😃Nice presentation!!! There's So much factual mathematics n description in the Holy Bible that's commonly considered to be figurative!!!

i believe gopherwood was a laminate different types of wood glued together if your familiar with ron wyatts work i believe he found the location of the ark and he found a piece of laminated timer at the location also he made many more discoveries including saodam and gomorrah location and many more

It's shocking that AIG doesn't have any scientific papers published by now.

Great insights learned a lot thanks for sharing. Only one thing I disagree With your take on the rain You said it might have rain before the flood, because the mist that watered the earth was out of context. To prove that it didn’t rain before the flood go to Hebrews 11 :7 Not Seen YET Waters of flood which in the form of RAIN Genesis 7: 12 Interpretation of waters of flood is RAIN . If Noah saw rain before God wouldn’t have said Not Seen Yet in Hebrews 11.

0:44 172,5 m (565,94488188976377952755905511811 ft) × 28,75 m (94,324146981627296587926509186351 ft) × 17,25 m exactly. Or alternatively 1/7 smaller. 1 cubit = 45 cm (≈ 17,7165354331 in) = 6 hands 1 kingscubit (used for the tent and the temples) = 52,5 cm (≈ 20,6692913386 in) = 7 hands 1:02 Yes, the 20,6692913386 tunnel has a slightly different measurement, but if you measure the templemount, than you get 52,5 cm. And that counts. You can also confirm this in Shīlōh with the holes for the tent pegs and the courtyard walls.

Noah's Ark is a retelling of the Epic of Gilgamesh. For other opinions check out AronRa, Vice Rhino and other for a more realistic view on this myth.

Amazing job. I loved how you wrapped that up by pointing out the connections to Jesus Christ. After all that’s what the entire Bible foretells and testifies of.

That was awesome and helpful! Soli Deo Gloria

In our modern society we take way to many things for granted. For example, the Bible. The Bible is the only book on earth that was written over a period of 4000 thousand years! Beginning with the book of Enoch at approximately 4000 BC pre flood, and leading up to the last book of Revelation by Apostle John the Revelator approximately 100 AD. Noah preserved the scrolls of Enoch on the Ark through the flood. Followed by the Books of Moses, Prophets, Judges, Psalms, and ending with the Apostles. Just imagine the painstaking process of preserving all of these writings by hand over the millennia! All the hard work by candlelight, persecution, war, fire, natural disasters, and erosion. Why would anyone go through such trouble? How is it possible that none of the books contradict each other? If fact the correlation between the first book to the very the last is absolutely astounding! Furthermore it is the only collection of writings on earth that depicts the past, present, and future with dead on accuracy! For the believer it is life! For the mocker it is a scorn! Be not deceived, God is not mocked! He has sustained and kept his laws and precepts available to all whom would seek Him! The pages of scripture are inspired by the Holy Spirit of God himself! The Bible is a supernatural book! Nothing else compares to it. It is God’s instructions to mankind, a manual! Without this information mankind is doomed for all eternity! Some would say, “It’s just words in a dusty old archaic book!” But the wise know that the treasures hidden in the pages of the Bible lead to everlasting life. The Bible is God’s love letter to humanity. It is the most beautiful story of good triumphing over evil, love over hate, life over death! It truly is the greatest story ever told! Powerful, liberating, exhilarating, and the faithful promise of eternal life! Basic instructions before leaving Earth! B I B L E ✝️

How does anyone still believe that the flood and arc were real? There is so much evidence that says otherwise. You have to ignore so much science to still believe this!

I love this thank you so much!

Hello 👋 from Ghana 🇬🇭

we for sure know the babel story is extremely iffy to say the LEAST ( or altered almost entirely ) considering we HAVE found ancient hellenic and ancient egyptian writings and scripts that date at LEAST back to 7.000 - 10.000 BC ( and i am saying at least because there are even more that date even further back to even 15.000BC ) with already different languages spoken even tho the international language at the time was hellenic and in hellenic is how the egyptians would talk to the hellenes , which means at least 4.000 - 5.000 years before babel but alrightie !!!! just saying

The Noah's Ark Replica is the culmination of 40 years of research and 18 months of craftsmanship by master craftsman Dale Muska and his associates using power tools, and a huge work force. Evolution is real and is more aggressive than pokemon games, but only for a short while. Inbreeding is ok (even though cheetahs will soon die from it). The ocean levels rose higher than Mt, Evernest where humans die regularly due to cold and lack of oxygen (which would kill most birds, reptiles and and amphibians). Drinking sea water is safe unless he had a magic filter or stored a +year amount of water for all the animals. As much as 12 U.S. tons of animal waste may have been produced daily and they just cleaned it regularly. Methane and CO2 poisoning didnt exsist. None of the animals had babies (or rations would run out faster) and some lived well beyond their bodies ability. Sunlight just magically filled the ark or the animals were rotated to the top regularly to prevent Vitamin D deficiency. The Berlin Zoological Garden opened in 1844, it covers 35 hectares (86.5 acres) and is located in Berlin's Tiergarten. With about 1,380 different species and over 20,200 animals. Chester Zoo, much smaller) with +710 species, and 9,000 animals has a core team of about 400 people, as well as around 400 who join them on a seasonal basis but Noah and his close family handled it for a year. Also illnesses were gone and predetors just kinda relaxed for that year. Sounds 100% believable, but these are only facts. We all know facts dont belong in religion

What about insects? They could have floated on lots and lots of debris and survived quite well. Insects survive through monsoons, tornados, hurricanes, etc. today while those disaster-affected areas do not suddenly experience insect extinctions. The insects come right back after such disasters. . Ants have been known to "raft" in the open seas on floating debris until they reach an island and only ONE mating couple is required to produce a colony.

Was just at the Ark Encounter/Creation Museum with my church. It was the best. The lemur's at the Ark are so sassy looking and awesome with their tails up like they do. The garden at the museum was also a lot of fun and so pretty.

I'm looking forward to me and my three boys going to Noah's Ark the day after Thanksgiving here in a couple of weeks

And didn't God tell Noah to build it within and without with pitch? If the pitch was bituminous product, it would be like the black asphalt tar that we see today, very waterproof, and over time it could harden. It is very waterproof. I wondered if he glued timbers together with it. Why would you cover the inside of a boat with pitch? Could it be that "inside" could also suggest that the pitch was not just a coating on the outside of the boat, but was actually inside the shell of the boat? I'm just wondering and thinking on this is all, but if you glued two pieces of wood together, laminated them together using a modern day tar or bituminous product, and let it sit a number of years, do you think you could pull them apart? Not likely. I also consider other kinds of fasteners he might have used. Today if I want to build something strong, I will screw and glue it together.

Tim I love that you are so knowledgeable but you talk WAY too fast. Take a breath, slow down.

After visiting the Ark in Kentucky I was amazed at its size, you just can't comprehend how big the Ark was until you go inside. Totally amazing.

Question posed at roughly thirty seconds in: "Why would he have to bring the whales?"Just for those who may not know, whales live in the ocean, which is salt water. Whales depend on the salinity level of the water they live in. Any change in the salinity level would affect the whales, and of course all sea creatures. To say nothing of the fact that several hundred billion animal carcasses, as well as who know how many human carcasses, will be floating around in the sea, rotting. Contaminating the water the whales and other sea creatures live in. The sea creatures, and freshwater fish and mammals needed that ark as much as the land animals did. By the way, most of the plant life on earth would have been killed in the flood as well. Most terrestrial plants don't do that well under water, regardless of salinity content. If the water was saline, they do even worse. If you want to find this out, spray your garden plants with salt water every day for a year. So the flood waters were really a soup consisting of billions of animals and human carcasses floating around, and the residue from billoins of plants adding their own flavours to the mix.

Exciting! Can't wait!

Love Answers! Man you guys are the best. You help me so much discern Bible teaching and contrast a lot of misconceptions, even my own. Thanks for helping me with the hypocracy out there. Atheism and the naturalist views take much more faith. The bias the story telling and self deception in science is insidious without help from knowledgeable people it's hard. Thanks for all your hard work and helping us discern the Bible and science.

Another favourite mistaken ark teaching is th Noah lived in the middle of a desert, which made his neighbours even more astonished that he was building a big boat....

Wooden ships don't do very well when they get over 200 feet long. At 510 feet, it would need constant work from multiple bilge pumps just to stay afloat.

Thank you for this brisk-paced, fast run-through of the facts plus all the indexed answered questions - it's just what I think the skeptics and unbelievers need to keep them from getting bored. So I made immediate use of the link to post to them!!! Very good!

This truly is some next level editing! Amazing video about the truth of the history of the world. Praise Jesus!

* * * I often thought of that ... 10:55 ... where did they start off? I know they did not remain in place all that time ... wind blows ... earth rotates ... there is movement on the water ... etc. ... where they landed might be a totally different place from where they started.

Think about this: If you were instructed to build an ark today because an ELE is approaching, and you were told you could only bring one breeding pair of cats over 18" at the shoulder and one breeding pair of cats under 18" at the shoulder, which species would you choose? The snow leopard and the sand cat? Or would you choose the puma and the house cat? A smart person would choose the latter two, because they're the most adaptable cat species in the world. This means that they have the greatest genetic potential and thus the greatest opportunity to adapt to a post-apocalyptic world. That was what Noah did, and it's why so many species went extinct, and the ones that survived were generalists rather than specialists. Best I can figure out is "gopher," which is actually "kapher," is laminated wood. "Kapher" may have been the word for "laminated." Or maybe it was even a brand name. Given Noah was 500 when Shem was born, I doubt Shem was actually his firstborn. Noah probably lost several children in the flood who did not believe. After all, the second thing he did after leaving the ark was grow a vineyard, make wine and get blackout drunk. Simply surviving the apocalypse wouldn't motivate most people to that level of dedication to drinking themselves into oblivion. But losing a few dozen of your kids and grandkids in the apocalypse certainly would. I always found it most interesting that the further you get from the Middle East, the more similar to the Genesis narrative the local flood legends become. Hawaii is almost as far from Israel as you can get, yet its flood legend is the most similar one to the Genesis narrative that I've encountered. The Bible DOES say that a mist watered the earth before the flood. There's no reason that natural sprinkler system would've stopped after God made Adam. And why use rain if you have cool geysers to water everything? Noah the professional wainwright is a story idea I wish someone would explore.

The Ark described here is about half the size of the USS Enterprise Aircraft Carrier. Do you think that, even if the Enterprise was cleared out of all its weapons, nuclear propulsion units and just turned into an empty floating shell with thousands of various sized box-shelf compartments and at least fifty miles of hallways throughout, that enough appropriate food to feed such a crowd of creatures could be stored in it (using bronze-age technology), and be loaded with a little less than 7000 land creatures (each with their own special diet) for more than a month, with less than 10 people to crew the whole vessel? In that, at its launching, it was already a 75-year (at its foundation construction points) old giant wooden box where at least half of it had been sitting out in the elements for much more than 30 years, if even just 1% of its under-water line region was suffering from any undetected wood-rot, it may have floated for perhaps 10 days. Oh yeah ... I forgot, miracle of this kind do happen (but only in Biblical fantasy-land). The Flood Tale was first composed in the middle Bronze Age when the Earth was thought to be about the size of the much later Roman Empire. The Ark was imagined for a world encompassing a land mass about that size. But that is all it was, a spectacularly imaginative composition of a "space" ship that could float around the cataclysmically enhanced seas of a global water world and save humanity until that ocean subsided. An earliest, proto-science fiction fable. Whoever wrote Gilgamesh was the Jules Verne of Mesopotamia, and Palestine. But now? People are a little more sophisticated, and at least a bit more scientifically literate. This Noah tale is ludicrous when thought of as anything more than a fairytale.
