Swiftboy: Which of God's work's explainable?lol is it a fairytale that the sun burns in space and has never quenched? Do you need explanation how it started burning? What or who caused the big bang? Do you know ocean can cover the whole earth because of its depth? Can you imagine how big the universe is? Do you know that in the face of the universe,the solar system's like a bulb lightening dust particles moving around it? Oh no all that are all lies if I tell you there are billions of such in our milky way alone and Hundreds of millions of galacy in the universe! Lies huh? How dare you argue about the story that's inspired by the one who made all that! And if you doubt HE's the one who made them all,you need to ask for the evidence! So by faith we know those things happened...evidence of faith? Well faith is an evidence all by itself!

adexsimply:
Can you imagine? It's not sure

Mr Aboki:


Now this is getting ridiculous..

Archeaologists and Scientists that have discovered these ancient Pyramids and dated them using Carbon Dating (the most accurate form of dating available to mankind) have come out with their findings and you still dont agree..


The Bible which was written by unknown people, with outrageous stories, no present evidence to back it up, never been verified AND then compiled by the Catholic church under the orders of a King who was trying to use religion as a form of control says it... You dont ask for Dating or proof, you just agree..

O now I believe you... I never considered the water beneath the earth... DAMN YOU UNDERGROUND WATER...

phuck_NL:

Why wouldn't they lie is my question!!!!!!!
Ancient man has been known to lie on so many issues.
They used fear back in the days to control people. From the Egyptians to the Roman empire.
What makes this any different. I have read it several times. What I am basically telling you is that I don't believe what they compiled that they lied.

What if I told you that I believe that ODUDUWA came from the sky. What would you say?

OLAADEGBU: At first Noah's wife thought that her husband was just trying to tell her that he wanted a boat.

Joshthefirst:

Joshthefirst: why would they lie and risk their lives? How did they exploit and control? Read about the journes of paul and his troubles, and read about how the christian society was organized with a view of even caring for the poor and widows, in love and peace in the bible. Read and stop forcing yourself to doubt. How can they lie about prophecies we see coming to pass before our very eyes? Prophecies so improbable?

Mr Aboki:


And because you dont understand any of the things you wrote in your post, you simply take the lazy mans option oof attributing it to God instead of researching it further to unravel the mystery..

And did you know that Bruce Gernon's story was never verified by anybody but himself?! And that He also claims to have seen several UFOs..
And the Indian guy you spoke about not eating is Prahlad Jani.. His claims have also never been independently verified by Medical Scientists.

Never heard of the electrocution guy, but its possible..


So much for Logic indeed..

phuck_NL:

We have ships that can house every animal in the world today. CHINEKE!!!
I have died. If you really believe what you posted, then this argument is futile

adexsimply:
That was sarcasm

Hope you had a good laugh like I did..

adexsimply: I don miss

phuck_NL:

What is this one saying? Abeg park well. Stop contradicting yourself. We know about the universe and other solar systems because of science. Where in the Bible did you read about Mars and the millions of stars in the universe. Abeg educate me oh.
Anyway, the question still is the "genuineness of Noah's Arks tale. No one is answering that.
We know we cant explain a lot of things - fact
We know there are tons of unexplainable things happening - fact
We know MAN wrote the Bible - fact
We know MAN lies - fact
So why is it implausible to state that MAN may have lied about the Noah's ark story?

adexsimply:
I'd assume he chose to "bestow his secrets on you", could you please explain the "secrets" behind "Noah and the ark" then? Then you could kindly tell me how I can be a partaker of the "secrets" too..Thanks

OLAADEGBU: Nests in the Ark

"Make thee an ark of gopher wood; rooms shalt thou make in the ark, and shalt pitch it within and without with pitch." (Genesis 6:14)

Details surrounding the story of Noah and the Flood have long caused laymen and theologians alike to stumble and compromise.

None could argue that the wording was not clear.  God had commanded Noah to build a wooden boat of huge dimensions and to take on board representatives of land-dwelling, air-breathing animals.  The Flood, Scripture reveals, devastated the entire world.  But nineteenth-century theologians, pressed on by Hutton, Lyell, and others proposing the new uniformitarian interpretation of earth history, became convinced that the scriptural account must be understood in a figurative sense.  Their twentieth-century counterparts repeat this error, promulgating the non-biblical idea that the Flood was only local.

Some have wondered how Noah could gather all the animals, but the Bible simply says they "went in two and two unto Noah into the ark" (7:9), evidently migrating to the location on God’s command.

Their care while on the Ark has also been raised as a problem.  But, in all likelihood, the animals entered a state of semi-dormancy, as nearly all of their descendants do today when faced with danger over which they have no control and from which they cannot flee.

Scripture supports this idea in our text: The word "rooms," which is more properly translated "nests" everywhere else in Scripture, implies a small place to sleep or nestle, rather than a large cage.  The job of caring for the animals may have been difficult, but our gracious God would have seen to it that it was possible.  Questions like these are no cause for compromise.

Godbest: Evil brain and the likes i seriously pity ur ignorance of THE WORD OF GOD THE BIBLE. Believe it or not d Bible is 100% accurate and correct.. It because of ur evil mind that y d truth is not know to you.. In Gen 6:7 the bible said that the main purpose of d flood was to destroy d wicked generation And God did that by his Ever great mighty Power. In Gen6:19 God told Noah to take just Two of every flesh and fowls male and female.. Food = Gen 6:21 tell us dat ALL FOOD were gotten 4 event. As of Hiv it is a punishment from God upon man in our generation. It was not in their generation. Pls remember He is God he know how to preserve the righteous from His punishment toward the sinner. And all those science lie that you are believing will put your life in danger...

peterphd: I don't understand all you said about numbers.

1.The tower of babel was built about 100 years after the said flood.Are you saying only six people ( Noah and his wife didn't have any more kids) reproduced enough to build a tower that threatened the bible god in 100 years?

2.If the global flood is true, who built the pyramids
because they were built at that period.

3.Tell us how six people gave birth to all the races in the world today.

please don't try to discredit radio-carbon dating.If you've got a better method, get into the lab and show us and maybe win a Nobel.by the way, how do I share a link here?

Evil Brain: How did Noah fit 2 million insects (1 million species x 2) into the ark? And how did be manage to fit 12,000 amphibians, 20,000 birds, 11,000 mammals, 16,000 reptiles and god knows how many crustaceans, arachnids and mollusks into a boat that must have already been overflowing with insects? Where did he find space to keep a years worth of food for all those animals? How did he keep the meat for the Lions, tigers and other carnivores fresh for a whole year? Why did he take mosquitoes, tapeworms, guinea worms and the HIV virus aboard the ark? Did he infect himself with all those parasites, or did he force his wife and children to carry them? How come all the animals didn't freeze to death at 9,000 metres altitude (the height of Mount Everest which must have been underwater) Where did they find oxygen to breathe at that height? What did all the animals eat after getting off the ark? All the plants must have died after a year underwater, and all the animals would have drowned so no food for herbivores or carnivores. How come all the fish in the ocean survived? Saltwater fish can't survive in freshwater and the ocean would have been massively diluted with all that rain. Or did the ark also have a salty fish tank with space for 60,000 fish (30,000 species x 2)? And how did he feed all those fish?

Not that I'm doubting this ark story mind you. Its in the Bible after all, so it must be true. I'm just curious about a few technicalities. I'm sure you have good explanations for all of them.

AjaoMT2: The bible account is not the only account of Noah's flood.

An analysis of some 600 individual Flood traditions reveals a widespread concurrence on essential points:
the prior corruption of mankind,
a Flood warning unheeded by the masses,
A flood warning by the masses
a survival vessel,
the preservation of up to eight people with representative animal life,
the sending forth of a bird to determine the suitability of reemerging land,
significance in the rainbow,
descent from a mountain, and the repopulation of the whole earth from a single group of survivors.
Especially remarkable is the persistence of that biblical name Noah. And this is particularly so when you consider the ultimate language differences between peoples, and the extreme local distortions which developed in Flood legends.
Yet the name survived virtually unchanged in such isolated places as Hawaii (where he was called Nu-u), the Sudan (Nuh), China (Nu-Wah), the Amazon region (Noa), Phrygia (Noe) and among the Hottentots (Noh and Hiagnoh).
Think about this. Did each of these nations independently concoct the same name for its flood-surviving ancestor? Or did these widely separated peoples refer back to the same family of survivors?

Sarassin:

I think you missed the boat...no pun intended. Most of the other traditions about the great flood precedes biblical accounts in most cases by a millennium.
