    If Noah's Ark was found how would that alter the evolution theory? Maybe a better question would be... Would the discovery alter the evolution theory?

      Yes. But not on a belief scale. It would alter it through the animals and plant life associated with it. Dating would be meticulous. Genetic testing horrendous. Just from the scat we could establish what a monkey looked like at that time. Carbon 14 at a minimum would give us perfect timing within a season. Maybe find traces of humans on things like clothe or even retrieved blood droppings.
      But you know what, I do not think it would alter it one bit because it is so vague of a theory. We evolve no doubt but the parameters are yet to be discoverd.

      It would not alter the theory of evolution because there is no way two of every animal and bug alive would fit on any boat and certainly not the size of the boat described, which is about half the size of a modern cruise ship. Even if it were possible the genetic gene poor from two of a species would not be enough to allow the species to survive. Just forget about the ark, It's nothing but a religious threat to keep humans in line.

        Almost every ancient culture has a flood story. Why not Noah? Why couldn't he have collected two of every animal in what he perceived as the whole world? Why couldn't he have floated for what felt like forty days and nights? Have you ever seen what some people call a mountain? They are puny. Why couldn't his boat have landed on one as the waters receded.

        Nothing about it is far fetched; when you take into account how a story grows and changes in the retelling over the course of generations.

          Do you have any idea of how many species of bugs exist in just one square mile or kilometre never mind the larger mammals and reptilians. And as I said before two of any species would not be enough for the species to survive. There would also be genetic evidence if they had managed to propagate the species.

          It's simply not possible no matter how you look at it. Sure there have always been local floods, but nothing that covers everything for days. No plants would survive for the animals to eat after the flood. It truly is a ridiculous notion.

                    Why not? How do we know the species that exist today were not new species? In turkey that is. Do we know what species existed immediately after the flood? Could they have been imported like the animals we have here now, that did not exist when our ancients were alive?

                    That would depend on whether the trees and plants actually died. Would depend on their roots. Also too how much room would a bee need in the Ark?

            It's a story radman. I'm not sure it's meant to be taken so literally. Did it say anything about bug collecting? And think about it logically. Take a guy. An ancient. No car. Maybe a camel or two. Doesn't go more than a kilometer or two away from his tent in his lifetime. So, maybe he does catch two of every animal he is aware of and puts them on his ark. Let's say he lives in the Shenandoah valley. It floods as far as he can see. That is his whole world. The waters recede, everybody exits the ark and he thinks he and the other inhabitants repopulate the world. And neither he or his descendants, for a few generations, encounter other humans.  Was there a world wide flood? Did he save the world? If not, does it negate the fact that his descendants believe he did so strongly that they wrote a story to commemorate it?

            A point to ponder. Every culture had a flood story. Why did this particular one survive all these thousands of years while others got lost and refound? Humanity could have chosen any of the ancient myths to carry forward into the modern world, but they choose this one, along with the rest of the Bible. Do you ever wonder why?

                    A very likely scenario. I believe some Greeks do it often. As a matter of fact, I convinced the kids it wasn't mommy's kiss that made the boo boos better. I told them it was magic spit that women got when they had a child. You'd be surprised how fast the tears dried up when I offered to spit on the neighbors kids. And mine started laughing and forgot the pain. Very magical. Maybe a miracle even. smile

          Exactly, every culture has a flood story. Just read the Epic of Gilgamesh, which is earlier than Noah. The ancient Sumerians called it "The Deluge" instead of the flood. I think there probably was a flood, but it would have been a regional flood driven by environmental change.

        Rad man, Your argument is complete if you just say No God exist, it would satisfy every aspect of your argument and each and every one will understand and accept the position you are coming from...

        There is no need to qualify and re-qualify that argument.

        But the Story did include God, which means that anything that one may choose to include become a real possibility. So therefore all the natural and physical constraints you present as an argument is already Moot.

        For all who believes the story do so because they have already accepted that God is beyond and above any and all physical/natural constraints.

    There is no reason to take the flood story literally and no evidence that it occurred in the manner that literalists insist. It is well established that the greatest danger to early civilisations was from localised flooding, and just about every population group around the world has an ancient flood myth. But that's no reason to assume that every myth describes the same flood.

    It is quite conceivable that Noah and his family were real people who experienced a catastrophic flood in their valley/lands/territory, and that just about all his people were killed. It is conceivable that he lived by a large river and had constructed a large raft/boat some time before. It is conceivable that during some monsoon he went around collecting up his livestock and a few other wild animals and put them on his 'ark'.

    Much of Genesis was written during the exile of the Jews to Babylon and Persia. In that time we should not be surprised if they were influenced by Babylonian and Persian beliefs and legends, and swapped stories around the campfire. So we should not be surprised if the Jews perhaps lacking a flood account themselves, assimilated the Epic of Gilgemesh and adapted it to their belief systems, changing a few details of the story along the way. A few thousand years later several million evangelist Christians take a legend literally and formulate a load of pseudo scientific ideas to make it 'real'.

      Perhaps it would be prudent for you to go back and read the account of Noah and his family. I just did. The reason many believe it to be a true story is because it's written as a true story.

      "This is the account of Noah and his family." is how it starts. The word account describes how it should be taken as it doesn't say story of Noah and his family. The account continues with "13 So God said to Noah, “I am going to put an end to all people, for the earth is filled with violence because of them. I am surely going to destroy both them and the earth." Doesn't seem like a loving or forgiving God to me. Notice that God plans on destroying ALL people and the earth.
      Further in the account "2 Take with you seven pairs of every kind of clean animal, a male and its mate, and one pair of every kind of unclean animal, a male and its mate, 3 and also seven pairs of every kind of bird, male and female, to keep their various kinds alive throughout the earth. 4 Seven days from now I will send rain on the earth for forty days and forty nights, and I will wipe from the face of the earth every living creature I have made.” You will notice that the word earth is used as opposed to region and he want to wipe the earth of every living creature that he's made.

      So when you say that it's possible it was just a regional flood you are attempting to justify your question regarding the ridiculousness of the earth surviving a flood as described in the account. It is simply not possible as described in the account to fit every creature in a boat that size. And furthermore it's not possible to repopulate the entire earth with trees and plants with just a few bees.

            I think Rad Man, the point they are trying to make is that what may have just been a regional flood was given grandiose importance. Embellished, if you will, like many fables, but then written to be an all-encompassing "truth." In other words yes it is false, but it could simply be an embellishment of a real occurence (no connection to God really necessary).

                Well of course, Rad. For centuries the fear of this God has been driven into people. "You dare not question the Bible or badmouth the God within it's pages lest you be struck by lightning or with disease!!" It is that fear, mixed with humanity's gullibility(surprising that's a word) and a number of other factors that perpetuates such fables as truth. They make emotional decisions that they later back up with "facts" and believe they've used reason. In a way they have, but, it's complicated and certainly not true critical thinking.

            I doubt there was a world wide flood as was described in the bible. We don't have a flood story and our lineage and the stories attached to it goes way back to our source. The people of Noah's time may have perceived their country as being the whole earth. Or the people who wrote the bible many hundred years later (or however many years later it came into being) interpreted the original story incorrectly.

            I cannot completely rule the 'whole world flood' event out, even though I doubt it. As there seems to be a lot of evidence of other cities or part thereof, under water along coast lines all over the world that would indicate a major world wide flood did occur at some stage. In saying that,  it could have been waters naturally rising. No one knows.

            If that archaeological find is not Noah's Ark it may still have been built to survive a flood?

    I being a Christian believe that Noah's ark is real and because of personal experiences and choice I believe it not because someone brainwashed me. Any who I think the discovery of the ark kinda makes the theory of evolution invalid if it ever was valid. Since its called a "theory" has it ever been actually confirmed (forgive my ignorance).

      Suggest you do a search and just a little reading to find out what scientists consider a "theory" - it is not the wild guess unsupported by anything that many people take it as.

      As far as it being confirmed, there are thousands upon thousands of bits of evidence supporting it.  Whereas the tale of Noah has exactly one - the story written thousands of years ago of physically impossible events that destroyed life on earth. 

      You, and everyone else, then have a choice - study and learn about the "theory" of evolution or quickly and easily read of impossible events from people millenia ago.  Choose which version makes the most sense to you, or which is the easiest to learn about, or which makes you feel better inside.  However you make your choice, it remains your choice to make.

              The wonderment is our ability to believe any nonsense provided it is said in earnestly. Dale Carnegie wrote about a time when people believed a person who said there are blue grasses.
              What I don't I understand is how people can believe that a merciful god killed nearly all humans including innocent children and animals.

                That is just too funny riddle666 - there are blue grasses. I do not know if the existed pre Noah.
                Kentucky blue is real and it is blue and there are others.

                  Nothing to do with Noah. It was one of his public speaking seminars, a student when asked to make a speech said about putting some fertilizer (or something similar to that, which I can't remember) that made the grasses green.When he was pointed out that it was not possible he repeated it with such passion and vehemence that some of the other students believed him.

                  The name Kentucky Bluegrass derives from its flower heads, which are blue when the plant is allowed to grow to its natural height of two to three feet.

                    Great research data. Have you ever seen the whole field of blue waving back and forth in the wind on a sunny day, atop your horse? Or have you laid in it staring up at the clouds. The grass is far more blue than green.
                    But you make the point perfectly -- if all you do is collect data through info systems rather than your own -- Noah could not have existed to you.
