The message remains the same when the story is taken as allegoric. Same thing with the book of Job and many other parts of the OT.

This is a case of Julian658 not watching the video and thus continues on with his pet theory.

Julian, please watch the video. You will see why it has to be taken literally.

The video is about 2 hours long but absolutely proves to be Noah's ark.

Please just watch the video:

Nothing I guess. Maybe you want to provide Noah's secret to the score of religious engineers who have tried to duplicate such a "coffin". Many countries tried to build large wooden ships, but had multiple problems with stability and seaworthiness once they became larger than 300 ft. long. Then, even these used iron and steel bolts.

There you are Julian, there are some who insist that Genesis is a literal record and somehow the Ark and flood have to be made to look feasible.
You have plenty of time to make these sophomoric flippant remarks day after day but not enough time to educate yourself by watching this video? . . .

It proves Noah's ark to be a reality.

Do you have a video that proves this biblical event?

A Great Fish Swallows Jonah

17 [c] And the Lord appointed[d] a great fish to swallow up Jonah. And Jonah was in the belly of the fish three days and three nights.

Let me save you hours of research; Jesus Christ said: "An evil and adulterous generation seeks after a sign, and no sign will be given to it except the sign of the prophet Jonah. For as Jonah was three days and three nights in the whale's belly, so shall the Son of man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth" (Mt 12:40)

Yup an actual historical event!! As recorded by Jesus - Josephus - & others!!

Thank you. It was already argued that the Flood and Noah's Ark had to be real because Jesus referred to it. However, it seems clear that quite a few Christians here do not believe that it really happened, nonetheless.

Hold on Eusebius is forcing people to watch and reply regarding a topic, yet when pressed to proved a point he made he hides and declares he will never do it. Logic

Here Eusebius from page 19. I posted this link and gave valid reasoning as it why it was correct and your facts and figures of 16,000 on the ark was wrong.... The Impossible Voyage of Noah's Ark | NCSE Click sizing up the load for our discussion.

You replied "Your link is incorrect on so many points, I don't know where to begin".

It's been nearly a month, and I'm waiting for you to begin.... in your own time, carry on ignoring this.

A religious person is not required to leave the brain outside the door of the church.

2nd Timothy 3:16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: .. .. .. that about sums it all up nicely!
