Does anyone believe the story of Noah's ark?

7 of every clean land animal (cows and such), 2 of every dirty animal. (Pigs and such).
Was the ark big enough in the first place?
The animals had only 7 days to cross continents to get to the ark to board it.
Am I expected to just believe that every species successfully repopulated the world again?
Could a family of 5 people care for every breed of land mammal in the world?
How can anyone actually truly believe this?
The ark with other ships for scale.

It's totes true.
Listen bubb, you can't just pick and choose what you're gonna believe from the bible.
Its all or none.
So if you don't believe in Noah and the Arc, you don't believe in the bible.
And if you don't believe in the bible, you're going to hell.

For a global flood to have happened, all the land masses of the earth would had to have sunk. There simply isn't enough water frozen at the poles for a world wide inundation even if every ice formation melted.
Interestingly, the flood myth may have originated from a natural event that took place some 9,400 years ago.
All myths grow with time so it's reasonable to think, as the story was told and retold, it covered all the earth's surface. Also, every story needs a plot and heroes, so Noah building an ark that banked starter lifeforms for post-flood earth made for an enthralling tale.

The ancient flood that some scientists think gave rise to the Noah story may not have been quite so biblical in proportion, a new study says.
Researchers generally agree that, during a warming period about 9,400 years ago, an onrush of seawater from the Mediterranean spurred a connection with the Black Sea, then a largely freshwater lake. That flood turned the lake into a rapidly rising sea.

Does anyone here believe that you can get something from absolutely nothing? Now that would take a great deal of faith.

If your thrust is to incriminate the scientists who deduce a "something from nothing" origin to existence, then you're a bit off target. The term "absolutely nothing" is not scientific.
Rather, "nothing" is generally used as a term for "that which is not yet detectable." The prevailing consensus amongst scientists who study the subject is that existence has no beginning.

Yes
The animals had only 7 days to cross continents to get to the ark to board it.
You assume the continents looked the same as they do now and that animals were where they are now?

Lots of evidence to support the notion of the story of Noah and the flood.
Here's an article about Robert Ballard's research, he of Titanic fame. Not a Biblical website.

According to a controversial theory proposed by two Columbia University scientists, there really was one in the Black Sea region. They believe that the now-salty Black Sea was once an isolated freshwater lake surrounded by farmland, until it was flooded by an enormous wall of water from the rising Mediterranean Sea. The force of the water was two hundred times that of Niagara Falls, sweeping away everything in its path.
Fascinated by the idea, Ballard and his team decided to investigate.
"We went in there to look for the flood," he said. "Not just a slow moving, advancing rise of sea level, but a really big flood that then stayed... The land that went under stayed under."
Four hundred feet below the surface, they unearthed an ancient shoreline, proof to Ballard that a catastrophic event did happen in the Black Sea. By carbon dating shells found along the shoreline, Ballard said he believes they have established a timeline for that catastrophic event, which he estimates happened around 5,000 BC. Some experts believe this was around the time when Noah's flood could have occurred.

That's ridiculous. Big bang cosmology rules the roost and that's what the evidence supports. The universe had a beginning.

much of what we take as 100% fact in history and science is based on conjecture and faith, not hard facts, a lot like religion.
for someone to believe he or she knows enough history and science to 100% disprove God, is a foolish arrogant notion.

I think the exact opposite. For anyone to say they know God's real is a foolish arrogant notion. How can you? I'm not talking about believing he's real. Knowing. And you can't know. Everything we know of God was told to us by people with no more experience in the afterlife than any one of us in this thread.

Maybe for you, but most of what I know about God is based on personal experience

Unless he was physically here when you were with him that's not gonna hold water in this thread.

shite I have an aunt who believes her husband's still alive and with her. He died 12 years ago. She feels she experiences time with him everyday. But she doesn't. Because he's not there.

What did my oatmeal taste like this morning? I experienced it but by your logic you should Know everything about it.

I believe that it's a legend that was derived from the Epic of Gilgamesh:
A lot of the stories and fables told in the Old Testament are loose adaptations of even older Mesopotamian legends.
quote:
"Utnapishtim explains that the gods decided to send a great flood. To save Utnapishtim the god Ea told him to build a boat. He gave him precise dimensions, and it was sealed with pitch and bitumen. His entire family went aboard together with his craftsmen and "all the animals of the field". A violent storm then arose which caused the terrified gods to retreat to the heavens."

Your oatmeal is real. I don't doubt your experience eating it.
