What did Noah do for fresh water on the Ark? It didn’t rain and he was on a sea of salt water for a Year.?

It is a fable. Realism is not required in fables.\n\nBut, for the sake of the discussion, had enough water fell from the sky to cover the highest point on Earth in 40 days, or if features such as the Grand Canyon were carved by the turbulence as is claimed by religious zealots, Noah would have been sitting on a mass of very turbulent thin mud similar to surfing on a mudslide.\n\nIntersting how Creation "Scientists" never try to determine the amount of water needed or the thermal and kenetic effects of the impact of that many raindrops.

Sheryl is wrong. Methuselah lived to be 969 and it took noah 40 yrs to build the ark. Noah only lived to be 6 hundred and somthin.

Searching for the Ark\n\nSince the 19th century, there have been numerous attempts to find the ark on the mountains of Ararat. These mountains have two prominent peaks, one 16,950 feet [5,165 m] high and the other 12,840 feet [3,914 m]. The higher of the two is perpetually covered by snow. Because of the climatic changes that followed the Flood, the ark would soon have been buried by snow. Some investigators firmly believe that the ark is still there, buried deep in a glacier. They claim that there have been periods when the ice melted sufficiently to permit part of the ark to be exposed temporarily.\n\nThe book In Search of Noah’s Ark quotes George Hagopian, an Armenian, who claimed that he climbed Mount Ararat and saw the ark in 1902 and again in 1904. On the first visit, he said, he actually climbed on top of the ark. “I stood up straight and looked all over the ship. It was long. The height was about forty feet [12 m].” Regarding his observation on his subsequent visit, he said: “I didn’t see any real curves. It was unlike any other boat I have ever seen. It looked more like a flat-bottomed barge.”\n\nFrom 1952 to 1969, Fernand Navarra made four efforts to find evidence of the ark. On his third trip to Mount Ararat, he worked his way to the bottom of a crevasse in a glacier, where he found a piece of black wood embedded in the ice. “It must have been very long,” he said, “and perhaps still attached to other parts of the ship’s framework. I could only cut along the grain until I split off a piece about five feet [1.5 m] long.”\n\nProfessor Richard Bliss, one of several experts who examined the wood, said: “The Navarra wood sample is a structural beam and impregnated with bituminous pitch. It has mortise and tenon joints. And it’s definitely hand-hewn and squared.” The estimated age of the wood was set at about four or five thousand years.\n\nAlthough efforts have been made to find the ark on Mount Ararat, the definite proof that it was used to survive a cataclysmic deluge exists in the written record of that event in the Bible book of Genesis. Confirmation of that record can be seen in the great number of flood legends among primitive peoples all over the world. \n\nThe ark had a carrying capacity equal to that of 10 freight trains of about 25 American boxcars each!

I dunno.  \n\nWhat kind of wood did God tell Noah too make the Ark out of?\n\nThere is a reason it took so long too make it. Why?

The first thing Noah did after the flood was to get drunk. No it didn’t work.\n\nGod wiped out every evil on the planet with a great flood, or did he?..\n\nWell somehow evil managed to slip through. Was it a stowaway? Maybe Mr. evil was hiding among the giraffes and hippopotamuses.\n\nAnyway God did make a few mistakes…\n\n1) Created man (he repented for that one in Genesis and I forgive him)\n2) Caused a worldwide flood (surely there must have been a few babies among all the evil people. He hasn’t repent for that one so I can’t help him)

Gen. 7:14\nFrom the foregoing, it becomes apparent that Noah could get all the necessary animals into the ark for preservation through the Flood. The Bible does not say that he had to preserve alive every variety of the animals. Rather, it states: “Of the flying creatures according to their kinds and of the domestic animals according to their kinds, of all moving animals of the ground according to their kinds, two of each will go in there to you to preserve them alive.” (Ge 6:20; 7:14, 15) Jehovah God knew it was necessary to save only representative members of the different “kinds,” since they would reproduce in variety after the Flood.\n\nFollowing the recession of the floodwaters, these comparatively few basic “kinds” emerged from the ark and spread out over the surface of the earth, eventually producing many variations of their “kinds.” Although many new varieties have come into existence since the Flood, the surviving “kinds” have remained fixed and unchanged.\n\nCould the Ark Have Held All the Animals?\n\nThe “kinds” of animals selected had reference to the clear-cut and unalterable boundaries or limits set by the Creator, within which boundaries creatures are capable of breeding “according to their kinds.” It has been estimated by some that the hundreds of thousands of species of animals today could be reduced to a comparatively few family “kinds”—the horse kind and the cow kind, to mention but two. The breeding boundaries according to “kind” established by Jehovah were not and could not be crossed. With this in mind 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. Others have been more liberal in estimating that 72 “kinds” of quadrupeds and less than 200 bird “kinds” were all that were required. That the great variety of animal life known today could have come from inbreeding within so few “kinds” following the Flood is proved by the endless variety of humankind—short, tall, fat, thin, with countless variations in the color of hair, eyes, and skin—all of whom sprang from the one family of Noah.\n\nThe ark had a carrying capacity equal to that of 10 freight trains of about 25 American boxcars each!\n\nAt Genesis 6:14, the Hebrew word qin·nim′ (“nests”) is translated “rooms” (KJ, RS), “cabins” (AT), and “compartments” (NW). Evidently these were relatively small compartments in the ark built by Noah and, similar to birds’ nests, served as a protection and shelter through a critical time when men and animals were otherwise helpless.

In Genesis 8, Noah offered up sacrifices to God.  He could do that because he had brought some animals aboard the ark in larger groups than twos (Genesis 7:2).  Then in Genesis 9, God put the fear of man in the heart of every animal, so that they would be hard to catch, and then He said to Noah that they were to be food for him as well as the plants.  Apparently there was enough time for the animals to reproduce because we've been eating them for centuries, and we still have enough to eat.

yes he did split the red sea\nExodus 14:16\nBut lift thou up thy rod, and stretch out thine hand over the sea, and divide it: and the children of Israel shall go on dry ground through the midst of the sea. \n\n\nExodus 14:21 \nAnd Moses stretched out his hand over the sea; and the LORD caused the sea to go back by a strong east wind all that night, and made the sea dry land, and the waters were divided. \n\n\nExodus 14:22 \nAnd the children of Israel went into the midst of the sea upon the dry ground: and the waters were a wall unto them on their right hand, and on their left.

Moses didn't take any animals on the Ark :P

Here's something to think about.\n\n1) How could he have possibly fit 2 of every animal and insect on an ark that size?\n2) How did he control the situation of having animals that are natural enemies on a boat together?\n3) How did he feed all the different animals when some can only eat specific food from their region (other animals or region specific plants)?\n4) How did he fit a months worth of food on the ark with the animals?\n5) What about the specific climate needs of each animal?\n6) How did Noah and his family repopulate the globe with different races of people?\n7) Who the hell cleaned up all the shit?!?\n\nI could really go on and on - THINK!

1.  God did not command Noah to take 2 of EACH kind of animal.  Noah was commanded to take 1 male and 1 female of each unclean kind of animal, and 7 males/7 females of each clean kind of animal.  See Genesis 7:2-3.\n\n2.  Because God wished to continue the animal life He'd  already created. \n\n3.  Why not?  Asexual reproduction was not a factor in God's decision.\n\nPeace.

First off it was a local flood. So not every specie was in that area. They could have been infants. \n\nNoah’s deluge. To understand you have to start with Gen.6:1.\nGen.6:1 And it came to pass, when men began to multiply on the face of the earth, and daughters were born unto them, \nThe word “men” is Heb. (ha-adham) means “the man Adam” or his progeny. The word “them” is referring to Adam and Eve. The scripture is talking about Adam and Eve’s clan and not mankind. Mankind a subject for another time. \nGen.6:2 That the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they were fair; and they took them wives of all which they chose. \nThe term “sons of God” means angels or fallen angels. The word “men” again means Adam and Eve’s progeny or clan. Satan was trying to corrupt God’s plan. That is, from umbilical cord to umbilical cord would come Christ. This is why Eve is called “the mother of all living”.\nGen.6:9 These are the generations of Noah: Noah was a just man and perfect in his generations, and Noah walked with God. \nThe word “perfect” Heb. (tamin) means “without blemish as to breed or pedigree”.\nGen.6:17 And, behold, I, even I, do bring a flood of waters upon the earth, to destroy all flesh, wherein is the breath of life, from under heaven; and every thing that is in the earth shall die. \nThe word “earth” Heb. (erets) means “land”, not the whole earth. Besides God says, “to destroy all flesh” in Adam’s clan.\nGen.7:24 And the waters prevailed upon the earth an hundred and fifty days. \nGen.8:11 And the dove came in to him in the evening; and, lo, in her mouth was an olive leaf pluckt off: so Noah knew that the waters were abated from off the earth. \nIf the entire globe had been under water 150 days, where did this olive leaf (pluckt off) come from.\nGen 9:11  And I will establish my covenant with you; neither shall all flesh be cut off any more by the waters of a flood; neither shall there any more be a flood to destroy the earth. \nRemember what God said in Gen.6:17, “to destroy all flesh”. Here God makes a covenant with Noah and his sons. Neither shall all flesh be cut off any more. Neither shall there any more be a flood to destroy the earth. Two floods. One for flesh, Noah’s deluge. One to destroy the earth back in Gen.1:2. The global flood is a subject for another time.\nSome consider the plateau of Pamir to be the original Eden. This probably was the homeland of Adam's descendants up until the time of the Flood. Today it’s known as the Tarim Basin or Eastern Turkestan. This region is surrounded by a ridge of very high mountains forming a gigantic basin in the midst of them. It measures 1,000 miles long and is about 350 miles wide.  \nUssher’s Chronology says 2348 B.C., Davidson says November 2345 B.C. to November 2344 B.C. for Noah’s deluge.\nRecords of the Sumerians in Mesopotamia., their King Lists date to about 3350 B.C., and show an ongoing civilization well through the period of the flood. Egypt felt nothing of the deluge, they had an uninterrupted succession of Dynasties. China's civilization during the Yao Dynasty (between 2400 B.C. – 2200 B.C.) with no record of a cataclysmic interruption. \nSo Noah’s deluge was a local flood. But there was a global flood in Gen.1:2. Study II Pet.3:5-7,  Jer.4:23-27.\nPsa.104:6 Thou coveredst it with the deep as with a garment: the waters stood above the mountains. Psa.104:7 At thy rebuke they fled; at the voice of thy thunder they hasted away. \nGen 1:6  And God said, Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters.

It is a matter of faith really, I like to believe he actually walked on water but I don't think we will ever know for sure. Still, I think any rsearch on the topic is a complete waste of money and time. After all, it is impossible to try and correct the Bible given faith is not something you can scientifically prove.
