When Did Noah Build His Boat?

[calamity]

OK, one does need to ask? When exactly did Noah build that Ark?

Well, we know it could not have been before this.

The oldest recovered boat in the world, the Pesse canoe, found in the Netherlands, is a dugout made from the hollowed tree trunk of a Pinus sylvestris that was constructed somewhere between 8200 and 7600 BC.

And, that immediately creates a problem of Biblical Proportions (note the pun).

Why? You ask.

Well, it's a problem because we know exactly what has happened to the planet from 8200 BC until today. And, guess what.

There was no global flood during that time period. Nor was there a mass extinction event like the one described in Genesis. No rebirth of all the earth's living creatures from pairs of two---none of it appears in the fossil record, DNA analysis or any of the million archeological digs mankind has performed since the days he learned to make shovels and better understand things and quit falling for BS tall tales.

Hence, the Biblical flood story has been proven false....call it a "Global Fart."

So, it looks like that book they call infallible is...well, fallible--or is that a fable?

When God told him to?

Maybe that wasn't God. "Old man listening to clouds talking back to him" sounds more believable to me.

Well, it's a problem to even make such a claim but you already know that...man does not know everything, not by a long shot...

I think most Christians accept that the flood story isn't literally true. Some might and will weigh in shortly no doubt.

But the evidence is irrefutable - there was no flood, there was no mass extinction, the animals that existed at the time could not have fit into the Ark.

Since we're all building an imaginary Kingdom, I have no problem with a Scripture in which you need to divide the truth (2 Tim 2:15).

With Noah, minor impacts are common and also common is someone ready with an ark, and to show how common, God put it in the minds of all different cultures that wished they had an ark about 2807 B.C., when the three mile wide comet hit the Indian Ocean, to make such stories.

For the Bible, Samuel is the first Book of accurate historical record, we can't tell if Daniel is real, but Christ is. No Moses or Abraham, the Lord chose up a people out of the fallout of Jericho and those other cities with Indian Priests.

The end times are such:

Samuel upon seeing the record before him of Judges and the other books, he wrote the short fictional love story "Ruth"and then began his record.

The important thing was that the Lord was coming and that some believed.

There's a large fault in your logic. The quote is:
The oldest recovered boat in the world, the Pesse canoe, found in the Netherlands, is a dugout made from the hollowed tree trunk of a Pinus sylvestris that was constructed somewhere between 8200 and 7600 BC.

Noah's ark has not been recovered, so the Pesse canoe does not necessarily predate it. There's no way to tell how old the Ark is. Or if it actually existed.

I don't know that the author(s) of that story even expected anyone to believe it to be the literal truth. Might is simply have value as a parable? Or is there no lesson to be learned from it, other than that an old man can build a boat big enough to take mating pairs of every creature on earth?

Quite the opposite .
Same story/legend round the globe and possibly around 10--12, 000BC .

Dozens and dozen of books on the subject if it floats your boat . But don't ask for sources as it was a long , long time ago .
Possible Enlil was responsible for the Flood , fighting against his brother Enki . Good legend -- see Annunaki for a quick overview .

We know. There is very little grey left on the history of the earth over the past 10,000 years. Fact is, there was no global flood during that time.

There were no boats 12,000 to 10,000 BC. They weren't invented until 8200 BC.

Try again.

Anyone who thinks the entire “Noah and the Ark” fable is a factually accurate record of actual historical events needs to get some serious professional help.

Oh, you mean besides the evidence of fossils of sea creatures high above sea level due to the ocean waters having flooded over the continents or the evidence of the rapid burial of plants and animals or the evidence of the rapidly deposited sediment layers spread across vast areas
or evidence of sediments being transported for long distances or the evidence of rapid or no erosion between strata or the evidence of many strata laid down in rapid succession...you mean besides those evidences?

fossils of sea creatures high above sea level

There’s a perfectly valid and sane scientific reason for “fossils of sea creatures high above sea level” that has ZERO to do with god, floods, the Bible, or anything remotely religious at all.

 

[Underestimated]

Maybe that wasn't God. "Old man listening to clouds talking back to him" sounds more believable to me.

Perhaps it was the voices in his head. According to the story, he was happy he listened to them.

I will try again. Just because the oldest RECOVERED boat dates to 8200 BC, doesn't necessarily mean that there were no boats before 8200 BC. If Noah's ark was made in 12000 BC it's not surprising that a wooden boat has rotted away without a trace after 14,000 years.

So it rained 40 days and nights. Noah, his Family and all the pairs of animals were on the ark for a year untill the water receded? To where? If the entire planet was covered in water, then the water evaporated, then it would of gone into clouds and recycled. Not just magically disappear. So did the water recede? Or did the continents rise up above water level? What makes more sense is that it's simply a fictional story... Like Aesop's Fables.

There is, of course, the fact that the design described in the story is no seaworthy with wooden construction. Never let facts get in the way of a good story!

Yes, it's terribly inaccurate fiction, and no modern publisher worth his/her salt would ever allow garbage like that to go to print without serious clean-up.

God can make anything he chooses sea worthy.
