Ooh, I don't know. If he could collect enough timber for a boat the size of an ocean going liner, prepare it without the aid of sawmills, build the boat without the aid of a shipyard or cranes, and then take a quick trip to Australia to collect some kangaroos, before going north to pick up the polar bears, I am sure climbing the odd mountain would have given him no trouble.

Yeah wasn't it about 120 years to build. He also had all his children's families to help as well. If russel crowe had anything to do with it he would have made sure it happened.

There is something i looked at before that said there was a lot of water under the ground in chambers that was released during the flood. I have mentioned this before but got shot down. I dont necessarily believe it to be the way some say like with the hydro plate theory. But there is something to it because they have recently found large amounts of water under certain countries like Africa and mountains. I can see how there would be ground movements with such a large amount of water sitting on top of ground that sank in parts and lifted in others as it was draining off.

Says who?

The highest Authority.

Rev 21: 2 And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. 3 And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God.

There may be some down there still, true. One assumes a lot or most came up at the flood time. the former state may have had rock and ground of different consistency. What would be impossible for rock today would be possible then. Such all allowing water to come up through it in places...and rock not retaining or producing great heat..etc.

The way the time it took to build the ark has been arrived at is by this scripture.



Gen 6:1
1 And it came to pass, when men began to multiply on the face of the earth, and daughters were born unto them, 2 That the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they were fair; and they took them wives of all which they chose.
3 And the LORD said, My spirit shall not always strive with man, for that he also is flesh: yet his days shall be an hundred and twenty years.
4 There were giants in the earth in those days; and also after that, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and they bare children to them, the same became mighty men which were of old, men of renown.


One could interpret that I suppose, in light of the place it is..sandwiched between verses that talked of the angels or sons of god and man together. It could mean that in 120 years those days would be over for man, of intermingling directly with spirits!? In other words the time till the split! That would be after the flood if that was correct as I suspect it could be. In fact the split (nature change) came presumably in the days of Peleg after the flood. Peleg was by some accounts, born 101 years after the flood. So, if the 120 year warning was till the big change in laws coming, when spirits would be separate etc...that means the ark was actually built in less than 19 years!!

I remember a video someone did forget where, showing the most likly location of eden using maps and the rivers that we currently have, and ones we can tell existed thousands of years ago, but since due to droughts and other things changed locations. Wouldn't know where to find it now though was ages ago.

I believe the Garden of Eden was in [what is now] China.

Genesis 2:8 And the LORD God planted a garden eastward in Eden; and there he put the man whom he had formed.

Eden itself was Pangaea.

Right, but if the separation of continents came after the flood and mountain building, and the ice age....that is a lot more to consider.

It's the koalas, penguins and Eucalypt trees getting to their current locations from the Middle East that stumps me.

Was what is now China east of Eden before the continental separation?
Yes

If you imagine a life raft in a swimming pool, the raft would represent Pangaea.

On the right side of the raft is [what is now] Asia; and to the left side of the raft is [what is now] North & South America.

God placed the Garden somewhere on the right side of the raft.

Leaving no fossils, and all going in the same direction! I like to imagine the trees trying to throw their seeds in only one direction.

Two questions on that.
1)Was what is now China east of Eden before the continental separation?

Um, if the Earth is only 6,000 years old, I think you might have to give up on continental drift. Otherwise, in the course of my lifetime, the distance between London and New York will have grown by 50 miles, and I think somebody might notice that.

Not necessarily god staying on earth, perhaps it references people living amongst god in heaven.
