I guess it just appeared out of nowhere. Kind of like how it says the earth was created.

To build the world's largest waterpark? Probably a lot. Though it would be funny to have a bunch of people working on the Bible ark, then Noah would get on and ditch them. Maybe he had them fall into "Accidents due to divine intervention" to make sure they wouldn't stalk him.

It took something like 100 years for Noah to build the ark so it might not have been too much of a problem for 4 men to do it in that length of time. It is entirely possible, however, that he also hired some people to work on the ark as well.

yes they discovered part of a hull on the side of the mountain that showed signs of building techniques that would have been used in modern times and the wood was dated to be around that time too

The only results I could reproduce were of a christian group finding what they think is old wood which they submitted for tests which were inclusive.

Indeed no one believed it was coming but that doesn't mean people couldn't be paid to help. I don't really think Noah had help but I was just stating that it's an option.

I actually saw an entire film devoted to the animals helping build an ark. Wasn't amusing though.

Most before the flood lived to be upwards of 900 years old. Adam lived to be 930 years old. Methuselah lived to be 969 years old being the oldest person ever recorded. He died the year of the flood btw... Noah lived to be 950 years old.

Wouldn't the oldest person be the one God said would live forever?

Enox or something, since he's at least 2000 years old.

Enoch was taken directly up to heaven and so I assume that means he may still be alive. I guess I should say that the age of the oldest person to have died would be Methuselah then. :P

FYI Scientists are working on prolonging the aging process to 1000 years. To the point where the lead researcher said the first person to live to 1000 could very well be in their 60's already. Though who would want to live to 1000 when they are already 60? However it looks good for us kids...

I can give you some of my thoughts on it but whether they are true or not I have no idea. The fact that Adam and Eve were perfect they would have had no genetic problems and deseases. Food was also likely healthier. It was only after the flood that the age of man began going down but it didn't happen in one generation.

*takes a breath*

The only way to populate the earth was through incest and as we all know that can lead to medical problems. This wouldn't have affected them at first, but after many generations problems likely would have come about which would reduce their lifespan. It was only until the time of Moses that incest was considered wrong (from what I've seen it happened around the world about the same time).

*takes a breath*

Also, climate would have been different before and after the flood which would show why the age of man did not decrease until after the flood. This is quite possibly what killed off the dinosaurs (along with humans killing them like in dragon legends but that's a topic for another day).

Hopefully those theories might help. :D

Not to mention God reduced the age limit so that the Earth would not get overpopulated.

Most before the flood lived to be upwards of 900 years old. Adam lived to be 930 years old. Methuselah lived to be 969 years old being the oldest person ever recorded. He died the year of the flood btw... Noah lived to be 950 years old.

......how is is pysically possible for a human being to live that long...or did god alow them to live that long.

I can give you some of my thoughts on it but whether they are true or not I have no idea. The fact that Adam and Eve were perfect they would have had no genetic problems and deseases. Food was also likely healthier. It was only after the flood that the age of man began going down but it didn't happen in one generation.

*takes a breath*

The only way to populate the earth was through incest and as we all know that can lead to medical problems. This wouldn't have affected them at first, but after many generations problems likely would have come about which would reduce their lifespan. It was only until the time of Moses that incest was considered wrong (from what I've seen it happened around the world about the same time).

*takes a breath*

Also, climate would have been different before and after the flood which would show why the age of man did not decrease until after the flood. This is quite possibly what killed off the dinosaurs (along with humans killing them like in dragon legends but that's a topic for another day).

Hopefully those theories might help. :D

Not to mention God reduced the age limit so that the Earth would not get overpopulated.

Likely so. Imagine how many people would be on the earth if not. People living to be 900 could have A LOT of kids lol. Jewish tradition says Adam and Eve had 62 children (I think).

[QUOTE="legend26"][QUOTE="mindstorm"][QUOTE="legend26"][QUOTE="mindstorm"]It took something like 100 years for Noah to build the ark so it might not have been too much of a problem for 4 men to do it in that length of time. It is entirely possible, however, that he also hired some people to work on the ark as well.mindstorm

wait, how the heck could noah live to be older then 100?

woooh wait a minute...if the human life span was decresing then how could Noah and the others live to be in the 900s but others cant

also if the whole human race was brought by incest then im pretty sure we would all be deformed mutants

and how could adam and eve be considered "perfect" if only god is considered "perfect"

and didnt god tell moses to take 2 of every animal in the ark, so why not dinosaurs? he just left them all to die?

im sorry but allmost everything you said i just cant beleave

Hey guys, I was just thinking, in the bible is says 9 generations passed from adam and eve till the flood. But back then wouldn't a generation been very long due to the life span of those times? And maybe at noah's time they could've been much more advanced than we could have ever imagined, and all that technology was destroyed. It's possible I think.

I guess it's not as interesting as the one verse about Shamgar to some (Judges 3:31 - After him was Shamgar the son of Anath, who killed 600 of the Philistines with an oxgoad, and he also saved Israel.) but it does have great importance. You need not call what I believe dumb and stupid also. :D

The canopy around earth ( a giant water vapor high in the atmosphere) filtered out the harmful UV rays and other harmful thigns from outerspace) but the canopy callopsed and caused the flood, and everyone died in the flood but noah and his family, which is why no one else lived as long as them.
