Do Christians/Muslims/Judaics really believe the Noah story?

Some of the crazy ones actually do.

I certainly know some Christians and Muslims who do.

The Muslims usually claim that it was not a GLOBAL flood and is hence not as entirely unlikely. This naturally raises the question of why the whole ark building thing would then have been necessary in the first place. Presumably temporary exile would have been easier and would have spared all the innocent animals, ...

All the Jews I personally know are actually atheists - but I'm sure some of them think that too.

Ok, first of all yes I believe the story. Second your numbers are off. Subtract insects and water dwelling animals and you get a number under 1 million. Then consider that instead of taking one pair of siberian tigers, one of Bengal tigers and so one he took only one pair of tigers from which all descended (that is why different types of tigers can produce viable and fertile offspring). Considering that you get maybe a couple of thousands of animals at most. Second you must understand he did not collect the animals, God caused for the animals to come to him; he was just counting them. Third on the boat animals entered a state similar to hibernation, in that they did not eat, defecated or even moved much.

Also it does not say specie, it says kind. Dog is a kind, although there are thousand, maybe millions of species of dog, a dog is still a dog.

the myth is that god himself send the msg not only to the man but also to the animals in some form of telecommunication or just a need to gather and not harm one another,as it also goes that he god guarded all those in the ark from any sort of ill be it physical emotional or spiritual as for the number of animals not all animals came within the ark those that could survive the flood like all marine animals did not need to enter the ark for they were safe within the flood waters or something, though from memory i can speak of how the possibility of the flood myth got started with the breaking open of an inland sea as a man and his family as they lived in a boat got swept away and as the game telephone from word of mouth accross the land and time the story grew in grandeur to the myth most know of today

with reference to the remark about Mt. Everest: contained in the literal knowledge of the Biblical foodstuff have you ever considered that the topography change into enormously diverse? also it really is instantly ahead to underestimate how a lot water may were saved below the Earth's crust and what result it ought to have had because it broke out and flooded the Earth. such issues as Pangaea and the Grand Canyon mean some thing large happened in the concept of youthful Earth creationism and a literal knowledge of the flood. contained in the recent testomony we see references to the flood which take it to be fairly actually. The authors of such scriptures were raised and surrounded by potential of Jewish concept in theory. Matthew 24:38-39 38 " "For as contained in the days before the flood, they were ingesting and ingesting, marrying and giving in marriage, till the day that Noah entered the ark, 39 "and did not recognize till the flood got here and took all of them away, so will also the creation of the Son of guy be." Luke 17:26-27 26 " "And because it change into contained in the days of Noah, so it will be also contained in the days of the Son of guy: 27 They ate, they drank, they married different halves, they were given in marriage, till the day that Noah entered the ark, and the flood got here and destroyed all of them." " 1Peter 3:20 "who before were disobedient, even as once the Divine longsuffering waited contained in the days of Noah, even as [the] ark change into being prepared, in which some, it fairly is, 8 souls, were saved by potential of water." 2Peter 2:5 "and did not spare the historic global, yet saved Noah, [one among] 8 [human beings], a preacher of righteousness, bringing contained in the flood on the global of the ungodly;" Hebrews 11:7 "by potential of religion Noah, being divinely warned of issues no longer yet considered, moved with godly worry, prepared an ark for the saving of his loved ones, by potential of which he condemned the global and became inheritor of the righteousness it fairly is in accordance to faith."

since nobody was there to see this it is hard to believe.. but when we look at how fossils are formed, and keys to many fossil finds it is possible.

but the animals in the bible , again the bible says each of their kind. so two horses may be able to breed into many other species of horses, and so on. also we don't know what events the earth went through at that time period. them may have been severe land changes. like the bible says also, clean animals were in groups of 7 for sacrifice.

The remains of Noah's Arc were discovered on a Mountain in Asia.

There was no trace of any animals - so they must have all survived.

I am a Christian and i believe every word of it.

Whatever the world say, its the only truth.
