Proof The Bible is Real? - God and History

Proof the Bible is true

Proof of God? - Noah's Ark 

    Is the biblical story of "Noah's Ark" true or false? The story of Noah's Ark is a Jewish story but it is also believed by the Muslims and different Christian faiths. The first one to write about Noah's Ark was Moses. Moses claims that God Himself told Moses word for word the story of Noah because the story took place hundreds maybe thousands of years before Moses was even born. No one but God knew the story of Noah because Noah's life is supposed to have taken place before the birth of Abraham (the father of the Jews). Basically God told a man named Noah to build a huge Ark (boat) that was approximately 135 meters long (300 cubits), 22.5 meters wide (50 cubits), and 13.5 high (a very long rectangular shaped vessel). God told Moses that two of every land dwelling animal will accompany Moses and his family because God would make it rain for forty days and forty nights until the earth was completely flooded and washed clean. The Ark supposedly landed on the top of Mt Ararat and life began anew with Moses, his family, and the animals that accompanied them. How do we know that Moses is telling the truth? If Moses is telling the truth then it would answer the question, "is there proof of God?" and the question "if God is real, is this proof the Bible is true? because it would be impossible for Moses to have known that story unless someone who has always been around told it to him. The story is so convincing that people of different cultures and faiths have believed it for over 4000 years. So why do they believe?
    This is where we apply Christian Apologetics to the equation. Mt. Ararat is a real mountain in Turkey so it would not be hard to go there but the problem with looking for a boat that is thousands of years old is that the weather would have completely destroyed a boat made from wood by now, but according to Moses the boat was made from petrified wood as you very well know petrified wood is as hard and durable as stone. So even though the chances of finding an ancient boat sitting in plain view on a mountain are very slim, the possibility of finding the evidence that there was an ancient boat there is high because the that made the Ark was made from wood as hard as stone. Believe it or not folks there is a huge object on Mt Ararat. You wouldn't think it was the Ark when you first look at it because most of it has been worn away over time but the object is made if prehistoric petrified wood and shares the same approximate diameter measurements of the Ark. This is not the only reason to believe in the story of Noah's Ark. Moses also writes about the migration of Noah's family after the flood. Every ancient country was named after it's forefather (the children of Noah). For example: Ham a son of Noah had four sons he named Cush, MizraimPhut, and Canaan. Ham and his sons decided to stay and spread out over the continent of Africa while Ham's brothers spread out over Asia and Europe. The amazing part is that we know for sure that Egypt was once called Mizraim, Ethiopia was once called Cusk; Kush, and that the land of Canaan and the Canaanites are real. The story of Noah's Ark gives us a better explanation for the origin of these ancient people and the names of there countries than any other theory. I think that it is highly improbable that Moses by chance guess right about something that happened thousands of years before he was born so he must have bee told the story.

Take time to learn the history behind what you believe. Sometimes it will shock you but it is the truth that will set your soul free.
