There are many scientists who believe Genesis to be factually true and who are Christian. On the TV, radio, magazines and papers we are regularly reminded – sometimes in very subtle ways – that science disproves Christianity, and that scientists are atheists. But this is not true. There are hundreds of scientists now, who do not believe in Darwin’s theory of Evolution…

Scientific Genesis? Days 2 and 3 Part 2
Scientific Genesis? How does the Bible deal with the creation of the atmosphere and the appearance of the land. Before scientists told us all the facts about the earth’s atmosphere, we may never have realised how important this invisible stuff really is! We now know how hostile space is, therefore the earth’s atmosphere is incredibly important to our survival…
[3] How could Noah build the ark?
Could Noah build the ark, how long did it take? I think I ought to call this post: ‘Toil and tedium’ because so much of our lives resemble the long, hard haul. From the Bible we can presume that the job of building the Ark took over one hundred years! God could have miraculously have done something for Noah, but He didn’t…
[4] Our hard work AND God’s miracles
Does our hard work AND God’s miracles go together? Good, honest hard work is part of God’s plan for our lives, and when the Ark had been completed God expected Noah to look after all the animals in his care. But also notice that it is the Lord who will make the animals come to Noah! He didn’t say: “Go out, and catch two of every animal”, because that would have been an impossible task…
God at war with mankind?
When you read the first few chapters of Genesis it looks like a battle zone – God at war with mankind: 1) Adam and Eve expelled from the Garden of Eden… 2) Later, God flooded the world due to the wickedness in it… 3) And later again, God rained fire down upon the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah.
Is God really at war with mankind?…
[6] Knowing God doesn’t always mean an easy life
God has said; ‘Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you.’ but knowing God doesn’t always mean an easy life. If we are not careful, when we hear these sort of verses, we can drift into unreality, a place where there is no pain, no suffering, and no hardships! …
How big was Noah’s Ark with facts and figures
How big was Noah’s Ark, well the length and beam of Noah′s ark make it very sea-worthy and compares with that of a 14000 ton Tanker. It had the correct proportions, unlike the ark in the Babylonian flood story. The eight images below are shown to the same scale: Titanic, the Mayflower, Cutty Sark…
[7] Turbulent, out of control lives
Noah had no sail or rudder, I wonder how he felt – powerless, not in control?
Our lives are sometimes swept along by strong currents and storms and it seems to be totally out of our control!
How strange to build a huge boat, without any form of propulsion, no sails, no oars, no engine, and even more strange, no way of steering it – no rudder!…
[8] Are there some missing verses – we don’t read about Noah complaining
What about the smell within the Ark?
What about the noise and the lack of space?
But there are no verses that tell us of Noah reacting badly while he was on the Ark.
I used to share a granny flat, with a chap who worked on a pig farm…
Could Noah have built the huge Ark?
The Ark was slightly larger than a 14000 ton tanker.
It is strange but true, that many building marvels were built thousands of years ago and modern engineers have tried to recreate certain ancient buildings or machines and have often failed…
[9] No resting place
Do you feel that this world isn’t really you?
If this is the case then you may have a lot in common with the dove.
If not – then you may be like the raven!
Let me explain…
Ship’s log for Noah’s Ark
The total length of time for the flood waters to subside and for the ground to dry out was 7 and a half months.
These are very realistic figures, whereas many myths…
More thoughts on Noah’s flood
I have just seen this post: ‘Defending the Flood’ by Matthew2262’s blog.
It is well worth a read and provides answers to these objections…
[10] It’s so hard to wait for stuff!
Can you imagine being confined to a boat full of noisy, smelly animals for over twelve months, then finally the door is opened, and you look down at the dry ground.
But the Lord says nothing, nothing at all!
Not wait, but nothing!
Noah knows in his heart that it would be wrong to act now.
Perhaps you are in the situation that seems to be saying ‘OK’, but in your heart you’ve got a restraint…
[11] Have we got a sweet smelling life?
Have you noticed the difference in how God is described before the Flood and then after the Flood?
Before the Flood:
“He was grieved in His heart that He had made man.”
After the Flood:
He smelt the sweet fragrance.” …
