You will find the story of Noah and the Flood in the book of Genesis Chpt 6,7 and 8.

These are the 3 chapters I will be quoting from.

The synopsis of this story is that people became very evil, God regretted creating man, God found Noah to be the only righteous man, God saves Noah and his family by revealing the impending plan to flood the earth. Noah builds ark, rain falls and flood the earth. Noah and his family along with all animals with him survives.

Before we go far, the BIG QUESTION IS, COULD THIS HAVE EVER happened? Could the whole earth be truly covered by water?

GENESIS 7:18-20 "18 The waters rose and increased greatly on the earth, and the ark floated on the surface of the water. 19 They rose greatly on the earth, and all the high mountains under the entire heavens were covered. 20 The waters rose and covered the mountains to a depth of more than fifteen cubits"

Wonderful!

For us to accept this we must Note verse 19 that says the water covers ALL mountains under the heavens INCLUDING mount EVEREST that is 8,800 meters tall!

How much water will be needed for this to be achieved?

CALCULATION
Volume of water above all mountains = (Volume of earth+water above highest peak)V2 - (volume of earth)V1

volume of a sphere, V=4/3πr³.

Radius of the Earth is 6,371KM

V1= 1,083,642,907,017.5 Cubic kilometers

To get V2 we must add the height of the highest peak which is mount Everest(which is 8.8km) to the radius of the earth at sea level.
R2= 6,371 + 8.8 = 6,379.8KM

Using the formula V=4/3πr³.

V2=1,088,139,486,240.6 Cubic Kilometer (which will be the new volume of the earth when totally covered with water)

So the added volume is V2-V1
=4,496,579,223.1 Cubic kilometers of water!

Stay tuned we just got started

Lol. Op must be feeling fly right now.
1) The Earth God created is not the earth we have today.
When God created the earth, there was nothing like lakes, islands, etc. There was no rain too. There was nothings like winter, summer, temperature was uniform. There were no seasons before the flood. They came after . Read Gen 8:10. All these things came after the flood. Asking how kangaroos and penguins got there is just pure stupidity, considering that no islands existed then (Australia and Antarctica are just really big islands).

THIS IS WHY JESUS LOVES YOU =

YOU SAY ALL THESE THINGS CAME AFTER THE FLOOD.... CLEARLY GOD DIDN'T CREATE THEM THEN. NO RAINS, NOR SEASONS NOR ISLANDS NOR KANGAROOS.. UNTIL AFTER THE FLOOD.


SO MOSES CREATED THEM AFTER THE FLOOD? OR HE MOLDED THE PENGUIN AND KANGAROOS AND THEY RAN OFF TO AUSTRALIA...

VERY NICE!

An inch further and you could be a terrorist.

blessedvisky:

What do you mean?

CltrAltDelicious:

I know you think what you wrote up there makes sense

blessedvisky:


You obviously cannot read comprehensively. An island is a piece of land surrounded by water. The flood of noah was caused by the First rain to fall on the earth, a result of God's judgement on man's wickedness. Antarctica and Australia didn't exist as separate pieces of land. The animals were present. They were simply not living where they are today. I hope you can understand this one

JUST LOOK AT THIS GUY.

YOU THINK I WOULDN'T BE AN OWNER TO THE BIGGEST PENGUIN FARM IN THE WORLD TODAY IF PENGUINS COULD SURVIVE OUTSIDE THE ANTARCTICA??
THE POLAR BEARS CAN'T EVEN HAVE A NICE TIME IN AMERICA OR EUROPE CUZ NATURALLY, THEY BELONG TO THE ARTICS.

YOU'RE HERE TELLING ME ALL THESE ANIMALS LIVED AT THE SAME PLACE BEFORE THE FLOOD. HOW DID THEY MIGRATE IF I'M TO AGREE WITH YOUR DRY LOGIC, ORDINARY PENGUINS O, YOU THINK THEY COULD HAVE TREKKED THAT VERY LONG DISTANCE WITHOUT DYING JUST ONE KILOMETER FAR FROM NOAH'S COMPOUND!

PLEASE GIVE THE HUMAN BRAIN SOME RESPECT BY USING IT RATIONALLY!

blessedvisky:


Do you have proof that penguins absolutely cannot live outside icy regions? You must be really unlearned. You claim to be rational in your thinking yet simple facts evade you. I'm done with this oneone

uckennety:
I don't want to talk but am forced to talk am not a religious fanatic but in d book of genesis you'll read about how the earth was void and water filled the surface of the earth,you'll read how God separated land and sea wch means that land was in 1 mass and sea was in other!ok let's fast forward to your geography for those that ever enter class you were taught that several million years ago,the earth land mass was in one mass form nothing like continents or country until the BBT concurred that is called BIG BANG THEORY!!!! https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Big_Bang That is how kangaroos ended up in australia after it occurred so it didn't jump From middle east to australia!and can you imagine wen d earth is in one mass Form an earthquake in America will affect aFrica!well try to Fix the map together you'll see that all continents Fit into africa and that's where it all happened not israel!the 1st human archaeological remains was dugged out of kenya!or Tanzania please correct me if am wrong but it's one of the two!so it's 100% possible that the world was consumed by water.
Finally the issue about animal species well funny but I hope you all know abt genetics mutation and the ability to adapt to change in other to survive. I won't emphasize much but we know that it's only Noah and his family entered the ark but today how many species (races)of man do we have today?so asking about the number of species is totally irrelevant!
Trust me I trust the bible on this one.....

SMH!
THERE ARE A FEW SPECIES OF PENGUINS THAT CAN SURVIVE OUTSIDE THE ARTIC.

WHERE ELSE CAN THEY LIVE..?

THE REGION AROUND EQUATOR... THE PACIFIC OCEAN BECAUSE OF THE WIND, WATER, AND TEMPERATURE. ECUADOR, SOUTH OF SOUTH AFRICA, AUSTRALIA AND CO. AND THEY'RE VERY FEW IN NUMBER AROUND THIS REGION COMPARED TO THE SOUTH POLE REGION.


AND NOAH LIVED WHERE?



THOSE BEING'S CAN'T SURVIVE UP TO 2 HOURS OUTSIDE THEIR NATURAL HABITAT (OR ARTIFICIAL IF ANY AVAILABLE ) AND YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT SPENDING A WHOLE 40DAYS WITH NOAH!
THOUGH THERE ARS SPECIES THAT CAN SURVIVE IN WARM PLACES BUT GEOGRAPHY DON'T TALK MUCH ABOUT THEM BECAUSE OF EXTINCTION.


YOU'VE CHANGED THE GAME PLAN HERE, ITS NOT ABOUT DEFENDING NOAH AND HIS FAMILY OR THE BIBLE STORIES,
ITS NOW ABOUT DEFENDING YOUR OWN ABUNDANT STUPID!TY!
YOU'VE GOT TO BE HONEST SOMETIMES. THERE'S NO WAY ALL THE ANIMALS WE HAVE TODAY WOULD HAVE MADE IT TO NOAH.
DIDN'T YOU ATTEND BIOLOGY CLASS IN SCHOOL?

WHAT ABOUT THE WORMS AND CENTIPEDES, AND OTHER LIVING THINGS LIKE THE NEMATODES?

WHAT ABOUT THE LICE AND TICKS, SO NOAH SERIOUSLY HAND PICKED ALL THESE TINY BUDDIES ALL BY HIMSELF, INCLUDING SCORPIONS AND BEES AND WASPS, SPIDERS AND BUGS?

AND THE KING COBRAS AND PYTHONS, AND ALL MANNER OF MAMBAS


DON'T JUST GOOGLE ANY NONSENSE, FROM ANY NONSENSE SITE.
IF YOU'RE INTERESTED IN PENGUINS GET BOOKS ON THEM AND READ TO UNDERSTAND.

It's different species.. he's talking of why there are no single specie migration fossils which should be evident of global specie migration.

Yes it has to be different. The title is to get the attention of my intended audience. Go to the science section and see how low participation is. Go through comments he and see how daft and ignorant people are. That's how this playing field is

johnydon22:
If the story of Noah was not in the bible Christians would laugh at anyone who believed it.

If Alice in wonderland was in the bible,Christians would believe it and chastise you for not doing so.

Yet u are using the works of Seun (nairaland) to communicate, u like iphone 6 abi apple was founded by an atheist (Steve Jobs), U are using the latest windows OS on ur laptop abi? did u know Bill Gate is an atheist?

Choose one throw ur bible away or throw away ur device

oh that was used as your clickbait...yea, there must be ignorant people everywhere, prolly through misinformation or upbringing...i appreciate two parts of that bible, "jugde no one" and "do not call your brother a fool"...imagine if everyone think as i think or follow the same path as you, how boring life would be....no matter what we see or believe, we're all varieties, spices of the earth...
