Genesis 8:6-7

Genesis 8:6-7
40 days after the Flood finished draining Noah sent out a raven and it kust flew around until the ground was dry enough for it to land. Note: the Hebrew word “`oreb” includes not only raven, but crows and similar birds.

Genesis 8:3-5

Genesis 8:3-5
Genesis 7:17 says the Flood water started going down after 150 days, and then drained for another 150 days, (Genesis 8:3) for a total of 300 days which would be 10 months. Furthermore verse 4 says the Ark land on the 17th day of the 7 months which would be five months after the Flood started. Verse 5 says the mountains were first seen on the on the 1st day of the 10th month or 253 days after the Flood started.

Genesis 8:2

The word stopped not only means to end but also to close.Genesis 8:2indicates that the fountains of the deep and the windows of heaven were closed at this point. This consistent with the earlier suggestion the Earth atmosphere was the “windows of heaven” opened by water from the fountains of the deep ripping through it. Once eruption of subterranean water ended the whole collapsed back closing the “windows of heaven.” The shock wave from the closer may have been the wind mentioned in verse one. Not that this resulted in the rain ending. This would have occurred after forty days.

Genesis 8:1

Genesis 8:1 does not imply that God forgot Noah and all that were in the Ark with him, but rather it shows that God did not for get them. This verse indicates that is at this point in that the water reached its peek and started to settle down since the Flood would have been a storm like no other before or since.

Genesis 7:19-24

Genesis 7:19-24 makes it clear this Flood was global in extent. It says that the heist mountains in world at that time were covered by water to a depth of 15 cubits. This means that this flood had to be a Global Flood since any Flood covering the highest mountains in the world would by definition be a global Flood.

Genesis 7:13-18

Genesis 7:13-18 indicates that Noah and his family entered the ark on the same day. One question often asked is whether or not the ark could be loaded with the needed animals in a day.

Genesis 7:1-3

Genesis 7:1-3
A common argument against the feasibility of Noah’s Ark is that it could not possibly carry representatives of every species that has ever lived on Earth. Now this is true but then again the Ark did not have to carry representatives of every species just land animal genus and in some cases families. It has been estimated that
there are only about 8,000 living and extinct genera for a total of a bout 16000 individuals.

Given the Ark’s dimensions 45 X 75 X 450 gives the ark a volume of 1,518,750 ft3. This means that here was and average volume per animal of 94 ft3 which is more than enough room for most kinds of animals and their food supply. While some animals like elephants and larger dinosaurs are quite large most animals are actually rather small, in fact averaging the big and the small animals results in an average size about that of sheep.
