Was Noah’s Ark the Size of a Cruise Ship?

By Robert Palmer

The story of Noah’s Ark is one of the most famous tales of the Bible. It is a story that has been passed down from generation to generation, and it is one that has been interpreted in different ways. The size of the Ark has been debated for centuries, but it is generally accepted that it was a large vessel, capable of carrying two of each creature on Earth.

The Bible does not give an exact description of the size of Noah’s Ark, so much speculation surrounds this topic. Some scholars believe that the Ark was approximately 450 feet long and 75 feet wide, similar to the size of a modern cruise ship. This would be large enough to accommodate two each of all the animals described in the Bible’s Book of Genesis.

Others argue that if such a large vessel had been built by human hands, it would have taken far too long to construct and would have hampered Noah’s mission significantly. They believe that the Ark must have been much smaller than a cruise ship in order for Noah to build it in time to save his family and all the creatures from God’s floodwaters.

The debate over the size of Noah’s ark continues today as scholars attempt to reconcile different interpretations with scientific evidence. Most experts agree that there is no way to know for certain until more archaeological evidence is unearthed or new technology allows us to travel back in time and see what actually happened.

Conclusion: Whether Noah’s Ark was truly as big as a cruise ship or not remains unknown, but it is clear that it must have been quite large if it was able to contain two pairs of every animal on Earth during God’s floodwaters. Until more archaeological evidence comes forth, we will never know for certain what its exact size was – but its legacy will continue to fascinate us all for centuries more!
