Most likely, Noah's Ark never happened.

Thank you for your beginning arguments, Gabe. I will begin with arguments as you have requested. 1. Evidence suggests that Noah's Ark could have been made over the slow and large amount of time (about 75 years) which the Bible says it took Noah and his followers to build. There are multiple theories, but the ones that prove the best evidence are these: A.) A rising Mediterranean Sea pushed a channel through what is now the Bosphorus, submerging the original shoreline of the Black Sea in a deluge flowing at about 200 times the volume of Niagara Falls and extending out for 100,000 square miles. [1] B.) We read in Genesis 7 and 8 that "the fountains of the great deep" were broken up and poured out water from inside the earth for 150 days (5 months). Plus it rained torrentially and globally for 40 days and nights (the floodgates, or windows of heaven, were opened). No wonder the evidence suggests that all the high hills and the mountains were covered, meaning the earth was covered by a global ocean (the world that then was, being overflowed with water, perished, 2 Peter 3:6). All air-breathing life on the land was swept away and perished. [4] 2. There are fossils of sea animals in rock coverings high above sea level. We find marine fossils in most of the rock layers in Grand Canyon. This includes the topmost layer in the sequence, the Kaibab Limestone exposed at the rim of the canyon, which today is approximately 7,000"8,000 feet (2,130"2,440 m) above sea level. Marine fossils are also found high in the Himalayas, the world"s tallest mountain range, reaching up to 29,029 feet (8,848 m) above sea level.3 For example, fossil ammonites (coiled marine cephalopods) are found in limestone beds in the Himalayas of Nepal. All geologists agree that ocean waters must have buried these marine fossils in these limestone beds. The Flood happened before mountain ranges such as the Himalayas were formed, but many of these mountain ranges were pushed up by earth movements to their present high elevations at the end of the Flood. [This is recorded in Psalm 104:8, where the Flood waters are described as eroding and retreating down valleys as the mountains rose at the end of the Flood.] 3. The one thing we have in common with the evolutionary idea here is that the present uncovers secrets of the past, there is obvious facts that pertain the what happened even before that time of the facts discovered. The Chinese language proves this synthetically. The Chinese recorded the past and they now have symbols that tell stories representing the Genesis account. In fact, this is true with nearly all people-group's history record. [5], [6] A.) The symbol for 'large ship' in Chinese is '8 person boat' which directly corresponds with what the Bible says happened. B.) The symbol for 'Noah' is 'promised approved' and 'second' put together. As we look at the etymology of Noah's name, we find that he is the SECOND APPROVED. There are only two men of whom it is had been said in Scripture, he "walked with God." The first to receive such approval from the Lord was Noah's great-grandfather Enoch (Genesis 5:24) C.) The etymology reveals WORDS spoken about a MAN through whom the WEEDS curse would be removed, and LIFE would be restored to the EARTH. Notice, that is the very thing Lamech said in Genesis 5:28-29 when he named Noah. This promise would be fulfilled in Noah, for after the flood, when he and his family had exited the ark. [5] I will now attempt some rebuttals! I may end up referring to the Bill Nye/Ken Ham debate. Pro states "A ship that is longer and bigger than the Wyoming, which is also a wooden made boat. A boat that is described in the Bible, being made by peasants and farmers. Not possible." First, off Noah's Ark was presumably at least 450 feet long (137.16 meters), 75 feet wide (22.86 meters) and 45 feet high (13.716000000000001 meters) according to Genesis. [7] Secondly, why should we assume that Noah and the other 7 people weren't skilled in carpenter and ship-building work? Thirdly, the purpose of the Ark was to preserve life by remaining afloat, while the Wyoming and other ships like it were built to transfer cargo, such as coal, from one place to another, and this changes the supposed "similarities" between the two ships. "All of the birds, animals, lands, and obviously people, are still here... how is this possible?" Some animals became extinct because of the Flood [8], but because God took two of each KIND--take note that it wasn't every specie--on the Ark, many survived when the water dried up. God is not evil because of the Flood. People were evil, so there was a Flood, and the people had plenty of warning that it was going to occur, too. http://lifehopeandtruth.com... Conclusion: My sources explain decently why it is very possible (most likely) that Genesis' account of the Flood and Noah's Ark really did happen, and there is a plethora of evidence to support it.
