Is Noah's Ark a true story???

[Gravel PitParticipant]

I agree with Roadmaster that the Ark is possible, including an impressive assortment of animals (not all animals…) It was probably some farmer who literally put all his animals on a wooden boat. The boat was not that big, Ive pulled tape in a group to size it before.

But I disagree that Pumapunku and its ilk are anything beyond man’s reach. They embellish the sh!t out of those sites. Its the same kind of “mystery” worship I was talking about before. People absolutely lose their sh!t and go obnoxious over this crap, inventing all sorts of wild fantasy.

I think I accidentally deleted a post on this this morning, ironically we were both thinking Pumapunku cause I was about to refer to it before you did! lol.

Pumapunku used to intrigue me. Then I realized its not impossible to cut those blocks and drag em across a high desert. Whats impossible is that ET crossed a dozen lightyears and did it. Thats the Occums Razor blunt truth. I mean come on bro, look around this blue dot we’re on. Who the fvck else could have built Pumapunku? It was man made bro, and well after old JC was nailed to wood too, so its not even mysterious in an ancient kind of way.

They pretend that these sites are “ancient” yet 1900-4000 years ago is like yesterday. Humans had finally learned to build with ROCK. So the ROCK era passed and that was that. For the preceding 30,000 years they were building empires with wood, thats why theres no trace. Prior to that, we hung out in caves because it was too cold to care.

The rock age lasted from circa Stonehenge and Sumarian times all the way to Medieval Castles. Once metallurgy caught hold, we moved on.

I’m posting the video from the OP here again. I’m guessing that you and Roadmaster might have missed it the first time. ‘Noah’s Ark’ is just a ridiculous embellishment inspired by stories of actual, known floods…

Is it possible to fit out a small vessel with enough food and space, to survive a couple weeks, to house 7 people and two of each of these few animals: cows, goats, chickens, dogs, cats and maybe a dozen other animals crucial to ranching. The answer is an emphatic yes.

Now, a story like that gets embellished like all Fishermans stories… all the sudden the flood endless, the rain never stopped, a couple weeks turns into over a month and Lions and Tigers and Bears…

We know its silly but it was inspired by some some real life event where someone was pretty damn apt to save his livestock from drowning. Is that really too hard to swallow, no. Is the embellished Bible story total fantasy? yes

Whew! I’m just glad to hear you say that. You had me a little worried at first when you said that “the Ark was possible”…

Ken Ham’s ‘Ark Encounter’…

(Evidently Noah had dinosaurs on-board also)

Science vs The Ark Encounter

I think ‘Noah’s Ark’ is an absolutely fascinating examination into the inner workings of the human (Theist) mind. We have some Christians who say that the Ark story is just an allegory and isn’t meant to be believed literally. We have other Christians who will try to twist ‘science’ in an effort to validate a profoundly ridiculous story. And now we have Ken Ham who thinks that there were dinosaurs on the Ark.

Dawkins was asked during a Q&A following an interview with Penn Jillette how “Educated, seemingly intelligent and otherwise rational people could hold such absurd and bizarre beliefs?” Dawkins replied only that he was “baffled”…
