Many biblical tales have their roots in much older stories. Most of them, are probably intended to be understood from a symbolic, rather than a literal perspective. Others, they may have had some basis in actual events, represent distortions of folk memory rendered as myths. What is curious here is the exactitude of the measurements and instructions given…and the speaker in the video is a joy to watch 🙂
For some, it is a matter of beliefe or of faith… and I will always treat that with respect, no matter what my own beliefs may be. After all, any of us may be right… or wrong.
I just watched a Nova special on this last night (net flicks). It featured the lecturer. It was very interesting to watch. I also echo (no pun intended) Sue Vincent in the fact that I respect other’s beliefs and faiths rather they resonate with my own or not. One of the kindest things we can do as humans is to seek understanding, regardless of common belief.

The Ark is one of the less likely myths from ancient times repeated in the Bible. It can be shown that the Bible has borrowed from many sources.

Humans being humans so often try to insist that they be taken as literal!

A most entertaining man. At least he didn’t have an epileptic fit when first setting eyes on the tablet!

Ah… a flying saucer? Perhaps that’s how we arrived on Earth from Mars. 😀

It does look a bit saucer-ish 🙂
