People Going Nuts Over "Noah".....Before its Release?

[AllPurposeAtheist]

Well if you're shooting for accuracy in this movie, you might as well name it "This Didn't Even Happen. Seriously Folks, Most of You Are Past Your 30s and Still Believe in Fairy Tales? Grow Up"

That's what I would have named it, but that's just me.

Definitely you should give up art and become a freelance movie title creator.

Noah's Ark, David and Goliath, and Jonah and the Whale, would make excellent additions to Mother Goose and Grimm's Fairytales.  With some artistic license, Adam and Eve has potential as a porn flick.

God spells out to Noah the dimensions of the ark: 300 cubits by 50 by 30. Using the longer "Egyptian royal cubit" of 529mm, this works out at 158.7m long by 26.45m wide by 15.87m high (520 feet 8 inches long by 86 feet 9.3 inches wide by 52 feet 0.8 inches high). If the 457.2mm (18") cubit is used, the dimensions become 137.16m long by 22.86m wide by 13.716m high (450 feet long by 75 feet wide by 45 feet high). The ark had three internal divisions (which are not actually called "decks", although presumably this is what is intended), a door in the side, and a sohar, which may be either a roof or a skylight.[19]


I have seen several different depictions of the ship. Though the dimensions are square, the ark could still have curves. The word ark itself does not define either shape or purpose, other than the ship and the Ark of the Covenant, which is a box.

When marine architects give dimensions of a boat, they specify length and beam, which makes it sound rectangular.  God, being the master architect, certainly didn't want Noah to build a box.  He was just making sure Noah made it big enough to carry all the animals, and Noah certainly must have seen pictures of the ark.  We all see them in Sunday school, coloring books, and even in religious artwork for adults.  Any marine architect worth his salt would surely know what an ark looks like.  They have a bow on both ends, with a cute little cabin on top.  God said unto Noah, "Build an ark, not a box.  And put some hatches on top so the giraffes can look around at the scenery."

Okay, then. I'll leave the details of steaming several hundred planks into a conventional boat shape to you.

Just because we're talking about boats instead of trains, doesn't mean you have to derail.

Like this is some serious shit here AS IF debating the ark is actually meaningful and will contribute to our understanding about...well,  anything other than human gullibility.

Come on, JP. Have a little fun here :)

It's not like we are going to disagree on anything in this thread. Everyone on this forum, maybe except for irish, is going to say the same thing only in different words. I'm going to add to the conversation saying how people are stupid for complaining that they "left god out of his own story"

Relax, just yanking your chain.

ohhhhhhhh

Geeh, I wonder how it could possibly be that a story that revolves around "People suck so much I'm going to wipe out all but 8 of them" could possibly turn out to be 'strongly anti-human'.

Retard is as retard does.

They found it. It's right here. No more debate. Now if we just dig it up...

Yes, yes.  I can see it quite plainly.  It's a perfect ark sitting right there in plain sight.

[stromboli]

Yeah, I've seen all the Noah's Ark movies and "proofs". They still can't prove how it got to like a 14,000 foot altitude. That is a tough one.
