Noah’s Ark

The most terrifying detail about Noah’s Ark isn’t the size of the flood. It is the design of the boat.

If you look closely at the blueprints God gave Noah in Genesis 6, He was extremely specific.

He gave the exact length, width, and height. He specified the type of wood and the pitch to seal it.

In my little years, I have never thought of this!

But God left out one crucial component.

There was no steering wheel, no sail, and worse still, there was no engine. Think about how scary that is.

Noah was building a massive vessel to survive a global storm, but he had zero control over it, or over where it went.

He couldn’t steer it away from rocks. He couldn’t turn it into waves. He couldn’t aim for dry land. He was completely at the mercy of the water.

The Ark was not designed for navigation; just for floating.

Noah’s job was to be the Passenger, not the captain.

God was the captain.

This is a picture of your life right now.

You are trying to put a steering wheel in a boat that God can control, if you let Him…

This is another story I have copied from Facebook. Be careful if you publish it there. Guys like me can borrow it, and they can put their own names on it. I don’t do that. I would like to add a bit of my own commentary.

I have expressed my feelings about the time Noah spent constructing this craft. My belief is that they were not the primitives that we think they were. Billy speaks of the materials that were used, but when you read the original Hebrew, the translation of the words for these materials is not definitive.

It is possible that Noah used technology that, for the last four thousand or more years, has not been known. At least until around one hundred years ago. Tell me about your opinion on this theory and this article in the comments. Thanks for reading.

There is nothing new under the sun

This statement is made in the book of Ecclesiastes in the Old Testament of the New International Version of the Bible. This is one verse that many say is not one hundred percent true. We all know that since this was written, many new things have come about. Or have they?

We have recorded history that tells of the technological progress that we have had in the last five hundred years or more. Over two thousand years ago there was no electricity, gasoline, steam power, or so many of the things that even our great grandparents had.

No indoor plumbing. Fireplaces heated homes and were used for cooking. They had not improved much from the previous two thousand years in the necessities of life. Animal power had been the modern technique to travel and farm or move equipment.

The problem is that we only have records of how things were in the last four to six thousand years. We are told our world is millions of years old. Is it possible that other cultures progressed to where we are today and then were destroyed? We have theories about what happened to certain types of animals that no longer exist.

Some say a worldwide flood. Others believe there was a catastrophic collision with a comet or meteor. Still others have speculated that civilization collapsed due to other circumstances. I would like to look at possibilities to see if the flood is a possible explanation.

The Old Testament of The Bible says that Jehovah asked a man named Noah to build a boat. He wanted all the land and air creatures to survive this flood. Stop and think about it. If there was even only one type of dog, cat, horse, cow, bird, or other animals that we currently have, the size of the vessel to transport a pair of animals is huge.

Today we know how to do this. Who is to say that at some point in the past we have not progressed as far as we have in the last few thousand years. Prehistoric may not mean that there was no technology. Things may have caused us to start over again.

I personally wonder about where the pyramids and many other structures that were built which archeologists can’t explain how they were created at that time. Easter Island and other ancient structures seem to have been created by someone who knew things that were only learned a few hundred years ago.

Some scientists believe that ancient astronauts came here and made these areas. I think if they did, we would have found proof of this somewhere in our universe. My theory is that all the flood stories in all the cultures in our world must have a common source. This event caused us to start over again at least once in all those unrecorded years.

Solomon could be correct in his assertion that there is nothing new under the sun. If they made it to a point where Noah or some other ancient man could build a ship to survive a devastating flood, what was destroyed by that tragedy? Don’t discount the Biblical account just because you don’t want to believe in a creator God. Use the brain you possess to decide if this could be possible, even if He did not give that mind to you.
