[Azu]

Do you know that Ron Wyatt found Noah's Ark in Turkey?

Indeed, scientists believe that there are no enough proofs for this to be Noah' Ark but I am just leaving this here for further thinking. xD

I believe it happened, and it's a pretty good story too ^^

 

[paratise]

Isn't it essentially a Sumerian epic? I believe some catastrophes happened in human history several times in levels that would make humanity "restart" so something similar to Noah Ark story (albeit less exaggerated than religious scripts) could have happened. I view religious books as more of historical/cultural scripts which are partly accurate and exaggerated.

The ark have been found in the Mount Judi -the mountain that Noah and his crew came after flood- in Turkey.

PS: I did not post it as a "legimate proof" on Noah's ark, but religions tell some stories (yes stories) which may take the reality of things on other levels. The thing they '"found" is not really suppose to be Noah's ark to begin with unless. they really prove the whole story in the way some religions present.

The truth of things is not suppose to be either "it does not exist at all" or "it does exist in the way the religions suggest".

or kill him
and where did he find all those animals and when did he find the time do it?

some bible stories have some truth, but are hard to believe
they're probably exaggerated

Noah probably built a small ship and took 2 sheep with him

If it was true, he took 14 sheep.

 

[Callypigia]

It might be true on the most basic level: guy built a large boat and put a few animals from his region of Mesopotamia in it during the great flood that hit about 10,000 years ago. I doubt it though. It's most likely just a parable about the great flood, which actually did happen when the Tigris and Euphrates flooded. There may have also been flooding from the polar ice caps.

Uhg, another one of your types today.

I want to know what makes people believe such a story. It has nothing to do with my religious view. I'm not validating some kind of agenda. I'm actually playing Fast & Furious Legacy on my iPhone Lol. Anyway; why comment at all if you're just going to dodge the question? You could have just not said anything and no one would have questioned you.

I know why you commented though(I'm going to use your broken logic). You felt threatened by my OP and felt the need to defend your religious belief. Instead of discussing the topic, however, you took a neutral-aggressive stance by attacking my OP but stating you don't want to talk about. Well let's talk about it? Why not give your 2 cents?

What does play Fast & Furious Legacy have to do with anything? lol You're trying to read too much into my inaction. I know how you think and what your stances are. Us butting heads on an anime forum isn't going to change anyone's minds, so there's no point for a meaningless debate over "literal or figurative," or anything else pertaining to the Biblical story. I didn't dodge the question, and I don't feel threatened at all. lol I didn't defend my religious belief (you're assuming I have one. You shouldn't assume.) at all. I simply said that I'll pass on answering the question while giving a good enough reason to do so. Are you some kind of psychologist? Because it seems like you try to find something that isn't there and are trying to explain my behavior.

Lol

Anyways I do belive in noah's ark

 

[Bronze]

Yes. The Quran, word of God, said so.

 

[Kuroh]

Yes I do.

 

[Punk Hazard]

so how'd the story go?
i thought he made an ark and took lots of animals with him for a long time and there was a flood because too many people were sinning. then the flood dried up and god said there won't be another flood

Yeah, that pretty much sums it up

OT: Nah

 

[YowYan]

The whole bible is symbolic. As for the flood, who knows. Maybe it's scientifically possible.

 

[NaNaNaaaaa]

The bible is part truth, (depending on your belief), part symbolic, part ancient propaganda, that's the problem

I'm not saying thats a boat but if a scientist didn't discover it, they will say its fake or their ego can't take it=D

Looks like a rocky outcrop though

Belief doesn't make it truth though. But I have no problem with there being some historical facts in it.

Same goes for the supposedly butthurt scientists. Their ego has nothing to do with it, they simply go by facts. No idea on how the research at that site in Turkey has progressed but if they have legitimate results, why would scientists be butthurt about it? Butthurtness is something of the religious community only.

 

[Transcendence]

No, not a chance. Bill Nye already completely disproved the possibility of that in his debate with Ken Ham.

EDIT: Here's the video. If you still believe Noah's Ark is possible after watching this, I feel sorry for you.

There are several times which people have stated they found Noah's arc -from Mount Ararat for ex., another place stated to be where ark landed- i don't know why this later edition of claim would be more believable. There is always same photo of place. Even it does exist there are a lot to further prove.

Playing Fast & Furious Legacy was me saying I threw this thread up and completely forgot about it Lol. Anyway.

@Bold, More of this? Simply put, you don't know my stances and you don't know my way of thinking. We can prove that you don't by using common talking points if you want but I doubt you want to be proved wrong so easily. If you want though you can throw up a few predictions about me and I'll tell you my stance on them.


@Second bold, I'm glad you noticed my broken logic(I literally called it broken logic). I was just mocking you, I'm sorry.

Anyway you claimed you didn't dodge the question and you still have not elaborated on your view point of the OP. So right now you're just lingering in a thread you have no business in. If you aren't going to contribute then don't post; simple as.

When Bill Nye brought this out I was like

In my opinion Nye bodied Ham but others will tell you differently and I completely respect that. Bill Nye was definitely more 'charismatic', for lack of a better word.

 

[Alice in Noodleland]

NOAH'S Arc is debatable. And as a Catholic myself I have doubts about this matter.
But the flood is legit if we consider how earth became the earth we know Volcanic eruptions, Meltdown etch.

P.S. I dont use this website for any study of genesis (nor should you). BUT it did raise some serious objection to bill nye's debate

 

[Aya San]

No .

 

[Cornson]

No, it's a fictional story, the boat never existed.
