Noahic Flood

*blog is currently a work in progress*

This blog is dedicated to the geological and archaeological evidence that has been found that points to Noah's Ark, and a global (or, Noahic) flood.

Here are a few great images of what is believed to be the Ark photographed at different times (no I don't know when). Personally, after examining the evidence I, too, see no reason to believe 

that this is not the boat that Noah and his family were in.

Culturally, we find stories of a flood all over the world that depict a man and his family being saved in a boat. (This does not discredit the true version of the Bible, rather it points to its accuracy, the fact that flood stories exist solidifies the fact that one happened.)

Below are some comparisons about the stories cited from: http://www.icr.org/article/570/272/

"Over the years I have collected more than 200 of these stories, originally reported by various missionaries, anthropologists, and ethnologists. While the differences are not always trivial, the common essence of the stories is instructive as compiled below:

1. Is there a favored family? 88%
2. Were they forewarned? 66%
3. Is flood due to wickedness of man? 66%
4. Is catastrophe only a flood? 95%
5. Was flood global? 95%
6. Is survival due to a boat? 70%
7. Were animals also saved? 67%
8. Did animals play any part? 73%
9. Did survivors land on a mountain? 57%
10. Was the geography local? 82%
11. Were birds sent out? 35%
12. Was the rainbow mentioned? 7%
13. Did survivors offer a sacrifice? 13%
14. Were specifically eight persons saved? 9%"
    
    
    And here is a nifty little chart of the stories also
