Where did all the trees come from, and how did they build a massive boat without modern tools or technology?
The biggest wooden ships ever built in modern times are under 500 feet so that is pretty amazing!
According to specs in the Bible it was around 450 Feet long making it one of the biggest wooden ships in history.
How did primitive man have the ability to build such a massive boat in the middle of the desert?

I don’t think that’s the most ridicilous part of the story.
I think the most ridicilous part, is that 10,000,000 species of animal would fit in that boat.
So 20,000,000 animals in total (without counting reptiles, insects, or freshwater fish)
The largest zoo in the world (in Germany) is 100,000 metres by 100,000 metres, and only fits 1,500 species of animals.
So this boat that is only 138 metres long, is supossed to fit 20,000,000 animals?
you think cavemen built Noahs ark?
Builded it with babbies.
Except for bible worshipers it is agreed that the first eleven chapters of Genesis is a collection of ancient Hebrew mythology.
It would have had to of been a lot bigger than that to get all the creatures that we have in the world inside it
Noah’s ark is a fictional story. There is no modern or historical evidence that it ever existed outside of the bible.
Noah was not a cave man! Have you ever seen the pyramids or the ruins in Greece, just to name a few?
Primitive man? well according to bible he’s clearly not a primitive man (if you’re going to cite the bible)
Also have you ever heard of baalbek stone blocks? the ancient men weren’t so primitive after all. . . . .

Perhaps the lumber and technology came from the same aliens who helped the Egyptians build the pyramids?
we do not know where specifically noah was from, so i could have been a fairly wooden area, especially back then. . he had quite a while to build the ark. imagine how much you could accomplish in a life 600 some years long.
He may have not been so “primitive”, just because it was long ago. knowledge and insight have no bounds of time, even the Bible said the earth was round years and years before man figured it out. whether you consider it divinely inspired, or not.
the ark could very well have fit every species. . seeing as how you wouldn’t need wolves, dogs, foxes, etc. just a common ancestor. animals do adapt over time. if it can breed with another, its considered a “kind” so a tiger, panther, lion, etc could have just been from one ancestor brought onto the ark.
Thats not the worst part, think of all the poop after a few weeks, everyone man and beast would get diseased. Highly impractical
God gave him all instructions, as you can read in genesis. Woods for sure wouldn’t miss. It’s easier to miss woods for us than for them since we’ve cutting it all off without replanting it.
It is amazing isn’t it.
But not to hard considering the teacher was God.
B. t. w. Noah was not a caveman. lol.

There are many illustrations & explanations on the entire ark, animals, etc.
god built it?
it is totally ridiculous, the maximum size limit for a wooden ship is about 300 feet, not 450. some ancient greek triremes approached the 450 foot mark but they were heavily reinforced with steel (a wood only hull would shatter until the stresses) 1. there is no indication that Noah had a steel mill on his front door step, and 2. the steel bracing on greek triremes required constant maintainance from highly skilled teams of probably a couple of hundred men.
I don’t kind of think that christians will accept theirs Noah to be an Ape and all his pets are listed as the Big Dino (dinosaurs).
for their believe is that their ancestor have the name of Adam and Eve not Homo sapient (wise-man) nor homo Neanderthalensis.
If I not wrong, Noah his grand father already living in tents or houses,rearing cattle and tilting grounds, so building an Ark to accommodate animals and fowl but not including aquatic fishes back then a big deal?
For your information there seem to have of records that stated in around 625 – 525 B. C. Merchant ships ranged all over the Mediterranean and the Black Sea.
Before letting your imagination stray. . . Please check the date of this event happened.
Good question.
First, it wasn’t a boat. “Ark” means “box” or “chest. ” Since it was to be divided into compartments and thus honeycombed, it was well reinforced.
Second, 10,000,000 “species” were not needed, since, for example, “Darwin’s finches” are divided into separate species based on trivial differences in beak size and shape, etc. , yet all can interbreed, and so obviously came from a common ancestor.
All that was needed was a pair of the common ancestor, a “mongrel” finch. Even separate lions and tigers were not needed, since the “liger” proves that they can interbreed, hence they came from a common ancestor. So all that was needed was a mongrel pair of cats.
What do you mean, “Where did all the trees come from?” Surely you’re not saying that there were no trees 4,000 years ago. Interestingly, one of the oldest trees known is a 4,000-year-old Douglas fir in one of the western states.

noah used a dead wale and covered it with wood sticks
it was pretty clever from him
it was not a wooden boat nor was it 450 feet long.
the remains were found in 1948 near nisir in turkey resting on mt. al-judi 1 of the mts. or the ararat range.
what was found was decomposed concrete which apparently had been used to cover a reed matting mold much like the idea of making a fiberglass boat.
the dimensions are;538 feet long by 138 feet wide at its widest point.
it was shaped like a huge egg .
ventilation was provided by a hull pool -an opening in the bottom in which the wave action acted as a pump to suck air in and out of the “windows” openings at the top of the hull.
It is pretty ignorant to say caveman. Neanderthals were cavemen and were not even our ancestors. CroMagnon man built their own dwellings. There were huge trees as tall as sky scrappers. Have you ever seen giant redwoods. A hole cut through one is big enough to drive a car through. There were plenty of tall trees back then.
We have this idea that humans gradually increased to the pinnacle of technology where we know are. That is impossible as the 7 wonders of the ancient world prove. There was knowledge equal to our own in some areas back then, but not in the area of technology. Mathematics, astronomy, alchemy, and architecture were advanced. It was all destroyed in the flood, similar to the Atlantis story.
