All they had to do was walk into the ark before the door shut.

Nonetheless, God pleaded with them for 100 years. Of course He knew they would not repent. That is why God made such a massive ark as big as it was rather than large enough to hold ten million people.

Obviously only eight family members entered along with the animals.

God pleaded with every single individual personally Eusebi?

Face to face?

One on one?

The Bible also does not mention that during the time of the Flood and during the receding of the water that the laws of physics were changed.


I wonder if the Ark Encounter covers either of those two possibilities, one a fact according to Eusebius and the other a possibility according to Jeff.
Why would the Ark Encounter cover the possibility that the laws of physics changed during the historic world-wide flood in Noah's day which the laws didn't change? How do you believe they changed and what is Ken Ham supposed to say if they changed?

I'm not sure we can really say that it would have held 10 million people. But God is sovereign, he is all-knowing. He knew only 8 would be on it. He knew that because he knew the rest were tainted by sin and they were unwilling and unable to repent. He saves whomever he wants. He is a sovereign God that will do what he wants with his creation. The idea of people whining about that is absurd as a clay pot complaining to the potter that it wasn't made for a different purpose.

He used Noah, a preacher of righteousness, the Bible calls him.

That is correct. He did not make it to hold 10 million people. That is what I stated. Yes, He knew, in spite of His pleading, that only 8 would be on it.
Good analogy about the clay pot complaining to the Potter, Why hast Thou made me thus?

The ones which were necessary for the historic account in the Bible.

The good thing about Ken Ham's ark, though I do disagree with him on quite a number of things regarding science, is that it puts into perspective the enormity of the ark. Rather than people just reading about it in the historic documents called the Bible, they see it in its true perspective in real life.

Riddle me this oh sage of Middle Eastern fables.

Moses wrote the Pentateuch, right?

Moses was not born when Noah survived the flood. How the heck did Moses know the details?

The Bible says King David fought the Philistines. Yet we know an army was involved. Does the Bible need to mention the name of each and every one of the 10,000 or so soldiers? Just asking. Not meaning to be nasty or anything.
