	Noah's Ark - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Flood stories have been found also in the mythologies of many preliterate peoples, from areas distant from Mesopotamia and the Eurasian continent; the Chippewa Indians legend is one example.
		The flood was sent by Allah in answer to Noah's prayer that this evil generation should be destroyed; yet as Noah was righteous he continued to preach, and seventy idolators were converted and entered the Ark with him, bringing the total aboard to 78 humans (these seventy plus the eight members of Noah's own family).
		Biblical scholars of the time such as Justus Lipsius (1547–1606) and Athanasius Kircher (c.1601–1680) were also beginning to subject the Ark story to rigorous scrutiny as they attempted to harmonise the biblical account with natural historical knowledge.

	Biblical Flood
		The biblical flood story, the "deluge," was a late offshoot of a cycle of flood myths known everywhere in the ancient world.
		Old Testament writers copied other details of the ancient flood myth but could not allow their god to be punished by the Great Whore of Babylon, as if he were a naughty child sent to bed without supper by an angry mother.
		Such a flood may have been identified with the watery Chaos that all Indo-European peoples believed would swallow up the world at the end of its cycle, and out of which a new world would be reborn in the womb of the Formless Mother.

	Winnipeg Bible Students Bible Q&A Biblical Flood
		Up to the time of the flood there had been no rain on the earth -- vegetation was sustained by a mist that arose (Gen. 2:6).
		The waters of the deluge up to that time had constituted a heavy film or envelope which encased the earth and which by divine arrangement broke and descended upon the world partly in heavy rain and partly by a great flood from the two poles.
		Noah's flood was so timed by divine wisdom to meet a crisis in the affairs of mankind by the breaking of the last of the great rings which originally surrounded the earth, after the manner of the rings of Saturn." R.

	Flood Stories Noah Deluge
		These mythologies are the source of such features of the biblical Flood story as the building and provisioning of the ark, its flotation, and the subsidence of the waters, as well as the part played by the human protagonist.
		Jesus also uses the story of the Flood that came on a worldly generation of men 'in the days of Noah' as an example of Baptism, and Noah is depicted as a preacher of repentance to the men of his time, itself a predominant theme in Jewish apocryphal and rabbinical writings.
		The Koran [11:25-48] refers to the same flood event, adding that the earth swallowed the water, the boat came to rest on the mountain Al-Judi, and one of Noah's disbelieving sons drowned in the flood.

	History of the Collapse of Flood Geology and a Young Earth
		After the flood, the air became cold enough to freeze them, and their "bones have lain frozen in the Earth ever since, and so are preserved from Putrefaction till they thaw." Ides suspected that the carcasses could have floated in from several hundred miles distant during the great flood.
		Buckland contended that the flood was sudden, transient, virtually universal, and simultaneous, rushing about with overwhelming impetuosity, but Moses mentioned only the universality of the flood, and if anything the biblical evidence suggested that the flood was slow and gradual, inasmuch as it took forty days for the waters to rise.
		Assuming the universality of the flood to be unproblematic, Simeon was concerned only with the moral and spiritual applications of the flood story to the lives of individual believers and to the life of the church.

	All is How Big, when considering Noahs flood in the Bible account?
		In the flood chronicle of Genesis 6:9 through 8:22 the Hebrew word "kol" or "kowl" (Strong's #3605) is used 46 times and it is translated as all, every, any, or whole depending upon the context.
		And thus the flood story is interpreted to indicate that portions of each of the land animal categories were destroyed, and not total breathing land animal population over the entire globe.
		And the standing flood waters did not totally cover all the global land surface mountains to the tip of Mount Everest, when simple calculations indicate that there is presently not enough water on the earth to do so.

	The Biblical Flood
		It had but to float on the surface until the flood abated; its construction had to be of a type that would withstand turbulent water but it required neither sails, oars nor rudder.
		The legendary narratives however have preserved a vivid impression of the onset of the Flood waters and because they do confirm that the catastrophe was due to an invasion by the sea from the south the relevant part of the account is repeated here.
		In this reference to the flood it is evident that the literal earth did not perish, but rather that the society then existing was destroyed by the flood of waters.

	Davidson, R. M. --- Biblical Evidence for the Universality of the Genesis Flood
		In the Flood account this phrase "under the whole heaven" is part of two forceful verses describing the extent of the Flood: "and the waters prevailed so mightily upon the earth that all the high mountains under the whole heaven were covered.
		The biblical language here simply cannot be explained in terms of a local sky, and certainly cannot refer to the local mountains being covered by snow, as some proponents of a local flood suggest.
		Seventh, the universality of the Flood is underscored by the enormous size of the ark detailed in Genesis 6:14-15 and the stated necessity for saving all the kinds of animals and plants in the ark (Genesis 6:16-21; 7:2-3).

	THE BIBLICAL FLOOD
		In her discussion of the Flood, Howard-Carter starts by pointing out that, “Nearly all the authorities who have attended seriously to the flood question in writings before 1975 are generally proved right insofar as they merely refer to existence of floods in Mesopotamia.
		That the Jews in ancient times were aware of the possibility that the Biblical Flood might have been a more limited catastrophe is evident from the fact that the rabbis, according to the Talmud, were discussing whether the Flood waters had reached the land of Israel or not.
		At the end of the Flood the ark of Noah came to rest “upon the mountains [or, ‘hills’] of Ararat.” (Gen. 8:4) Originally, Ararat was not the name of a mountain, but of a geographical area, which later, in the Assyrian period, was consolidated into a kingdom.

	Hasel, G. F. --- The Biblical View of the Extent of the Flood
		His discussion of the extent of the flood is primarily concerned with "the geographical extent of the flood" which in the view of the writer of Genesis must be understood in terms of "the geographical universality of the flood" (12).
		After the two instances in the flood narrative, the same phrase appears for the last time in Genesis in the story of the Tower of Babel (43) where man is dispersed by God "upon the face of all the earth" (Genesis 11:4, 8, 9) which is a scattering over the whole world (44).
		The writer of the Genesis flood story employed terminology, formulae, and syntactical structures of the type that could not be more emphatic and explicit in expressing his concept of a universal, world-wide flood.

	Fossils from the Biblical Flood
		The Biblical flood was in fact a long-standing interpretation of geologic formations until modern geologists such as Charles Lyell began arguing in the 1830s that the earth had been shaped by slow and gradual forces working over a vast timescale.
		The Bible however, says there was a single event that no terrestrial animal or human could survive without divine intervention, and indeed an event capable of depositing the entire geological column during the course of a year would not be survivable.
		If the flood occurred as described in the Bible, the scientific community could never draw that conclusion because so many animals found fossilized are alive today.

	The Smithsonian's Statement on the Bible
		The Biblical and Mesopotamian accounts differ in important details--The respective boats are of different sizes and shapes; the Biblical boat lands on Mount Ararat, the Mesopotamian boat lands on Mount Nisir--and both stories may go back to a still earlier common source which remains unknown to us today.
		We now know that this flood stratum was deposited by a change in the course of the Euphrates River that meandered rather widely over the flood plain, much as the Mississippi River once did before flood control measures were taken.
		Another difficulty in verifying the Biblical story is that the identification of the particular mountain now known as Ararat goes back to no more than a few hundred years, and, in fact, we have no idea where an ancient Mount Ararat might have been located.

	The horror of the Biblical flood
		The massive destruction caused by the Flood is often not understood.
		All of this left no trace of the land-dwelling, air-breathing creatures and animals in the fossil record at that time.
		At the end of the hundred and fifty days the water had gone down, and on the seventeenth day of the seventh month the ark came to rest on the mountains of Ararat.

	Black Sea Flood
		There is one other fact about the Black Sea Flood which has come to my attention that may lessen the correlation of this event with the spread of farming and the origin of the Noah legend.
		He notes that Pitman and Ryan date the flood to the same radiocarbon age as the first sediments laid down after the flooding, which were fl and organic rich and therefore formed in conditions lacking oxygen.
		Secondly, the Noah's flood hypothesis requires that the rivers which empty into the Black Sea were starved for water between 9 and 7.5 kyr ago.

	The Flood of Noah
		The years before the Flood and the flood itself occupy Chapters 8 and 9, and Chapters 10 and 11 ("The Table of Nations") show the early repopulating of the earth by the three sons of Noah and their descendants from the Fertile Crescent area to the four corners of the earth.
		The purpose of the flood was the punishment of world-wide sin.
		Global Flood legends are found all over the world, and are difficult to pass off as just a lot of different local floods, particularly because, despite real differences, they have remarkable commonplaces which point back to one original event, the story of which got corrupted in various ways in the retelling over time.

	Woolley and the Biblical Flood
		This is overlain by Woolley's flood sand layer which shows up distinctively in several shafts.
		The answer is that the flood did not arise from any remarkable event on the Tigris or Euphrates, but on the Karun River, which joins and partially blocks the lower valley at what is now al Basra (appropriately enough the site of the Tales from the Arabian Nights!)).
		Hence as I show on the sketch it is flooding on the Karun that caused "the flood," wiping out the known cultures in the lower valley.

	Dinosaurs and the Biblical Flood
		Fossil graveyards, petrified forests and the rapid formation of coal all speak of the Genesis Flood.
		Likewise, the dinosaurs were also among the animals spared from the flood along with all others, and lived on earth following the flood with humans for an indefinite period of time.
		It is clear that countless species became extinct as a result of this catastrophe, however pairs of each kind of animal were brought to the ark by God so they would be spared from the flood and repopulate the earth.

		This Black Sea flood and the southern migration, Wilson argues, are the basis for the Genesis tale of Noah.
		Although his theory does not back up a world flood as depicted in the Biblical story of Noah, the theory is none the less interesting and believable.
		He demonstrates that the Biblical account is composed of two different texts that were integrated, texts that he calls J and P. The opening part of original separate strands are displayed side by side.

	Leonardo da Vinci
		Leonardo doubted the existence of a single worldwide flood, noting that there would have been no place for the water to go when it receded.
		He described sessile fossils such as oysters and corals, and considered it impossible that one flood could have carried them 300 miles inland, or that they could have crawled 300 miles in the forty days and nights of the Biblical flood.
		It was possible, Leonardo thought, that some fossils were buried by floods -- this idea probably came from his observations of the floods of the Arno River and other rivers of north Italy -- but these floods had been repeated, local catastrophes, not a single Great Flood.
