Skeptics have wondered how the ark, though the size of a modern ocean liner, could have held Noah, his family, all the animals of creation, and the supplies necessary for a stay on the ark. But if the members were limited to "every kind", or one pair of kinds, or seven clean pairs of animals, then surely there was plenty of room, and it is possible that God arranged for certain kinds to hibernate in order to minimize the problems of the animals' aggressive personalities, the need to store and carry large quantities of food, and so on. It is also implied that the flood only flooded parts of the earth inhabited by humans, then only then most of the animals had survived elsewhere. Noah and his family could not have built such an ark without God's guidance, it was only possible with God's help.
The Apostle Peter compares the deliverance of Noah's ark from the flood to our salvation by washing into Christ: "...... That is, those who formerly were unbelievers while Noah was preparing the ark and God was tolerating the waiting. Not many entered the ark at that time and were saved through the water, only eight. And this baptism, which was signified by the water, now saves you also through the resurrection of Jesus Christ; which did not care for the putting away of the filth of the flesh, but for an undefiled conscience before God" (I Peter 3:20-21).

Genesis創世记
This is the story of Noah. Noah was a righteous man, the one blameless man of his time; he walked He had three sons, Shem, Ham and Japheth. Now God saw that the whole world was corrupt and full of violence. In his sight the world had become corrupted, for all men had lived corrupt lives on earth. God said to Noah, 'The loathsomeness of all mankind has become plain to me, for The loathsomeness of all mankind has become plain to me, for through them the earth is full of violence. I intend to destroy them, and the earth with them. I intend to bring the waters of the flood over the earth to destroy every human being under heaven that has the spirit of life; everything on earth shall perish. I intend to bring the waters of the flood over the earth to destroy every human being under heaven that has the spirit of life; everything on earth shall perish. But with you I will make a covenant, and you shall go into the ark, you and your sons, your wife and your sons' wives with you. And you shall bring living creatures of every kind into the ark to keep them alive with you. Two of each kind, a male and a female; two of every kind of bird, a male and a female. ; two of every kind of bird, beast, and reptile, shall come to you to be kept alive. See that you take and store every kind of food that can be eaten; this shall be food for you and for them. food for you and for them. 'Exactly as God had commanded him, so Noah did.
Here is the story of Noah. Noah was a righteous man, a perfect man in his day. He acted after God. He had three sons, Shem, Ham, and Japheth. God saw that the whole world was corrupt and filled with violence. He thought the world was filled with sin because all the people on earth were living wicked lives. God said to Noah, "I know only too well the abominations of mankind, who have filled this world with enmity. I intend to destroy them and the world with them. You shall build for yourself an ark, and make its frame of cypress wood, cover it with reeds, and paint it with resin on the inside and on the outside. And I will cause a flood to come over the whole world, and will destroy every living soul under the heaven, and all things that are on the face of the earth shall be destroyed. But I will make a covenant with you. When the time comes, you will take your wife, your sons, and your daughters-in-law with you into the ark. And thou shalt take with thee every kind of fowl, and every kind of beast, and every kind of creeping thing, two of every kind, male and female; and thou shalt enter in with thee into the ark, and shalt feed them well in the ship. Also take with you every kind of food to store in the boat as food for you and the animals." Noah followed God's word and did it all.
And so, to escape the waters of the flood, Noah went into the ark with his sons, his wife, and his sons' wives. And into the ark with Noah went one pair, male and female, and the other pair, male and female. went one pair, male and female, of all beasts, clean and unclean, of birds and of everything that crawls on the ground, two by two, as God had commanded. Towards the end of seven days the waters of the flood came upon the earth. In the year when Noah was six hundred years old, on the seventeenth day of the second month, on that very day, all the waters of the flood came upon the earth. month, on that very day, all the springs of the great abyss broke through, the windows of the sky were opened, and rain fell on the earth for forty days and forty nights.... forty nights...The flood continued upon the earth for forty days, and the waters swelled and lifted up the ark so that it rose high above the ground. The flood continued upon the earth for forty days, and the waters swelled and lifted up the ark so that it rose high above the ground. More and more the waters increased over the earth until they covered all the high mountains everywhere under heaven. The waters increased and the mountains were covered to a depth of fifteen cubits. Everything died that had the breath of life in its nostrils, everything on dry land. living thing that existed on earth, man and beast, reptile and bird; they were all wiped out over the whole earth, and only Noah and his company in the ark survived.
So, to escape the flood, Noah and his wife, his sons, and his daughters-in-law got into the ark. And with him were the animals: clean and unclean animals, male and female of each kind; and all the birds and the creeping things of the earth, also in pairs, as God had commanded them. At the end of the seventh day the flood came upon the earth. And Noah was six hundred years old in that year, and on the seventeenth day of the second month all the springs of the great deep burst forth together, and the firmament of the heavens was opened, and the rain poured down without ceasing for forty days and forty nights. And the ...... flood prevailed forty days, and the waters rose up and lifted up the ark, and lifted it high above the ground. More and more water fell to the ground and flooded all the high mountains under the heavens. The waters rose until they submerged the mountains fifteen wrist feet deep. Every creature that had breath, every thing that lived on the land, was gone. And God purged the earth of all living creatures, both of men and beasts, both of reptiles and birds, and wiped them out from the face of the earth, except Noah, and his wife and children, and the birds and the beasts and the reptiles, who were with him in the ark, and they survived.
After forty days Noah opened the trap-door that he had made in the ark , and released a raven to see whether the water had subsided, but the bird After forty days Noah opened the trap-door that he had made in the ark , and released a raven to see whether the water had subsided, but the bird continued flying to and fro until the water on the earth had dried up. But the dove found no place where she could settle, and so she came back to him in the ark, because there was water over the whole surface of the earth. He waited another seven days and again released the dove from the ark. She came back to him towards evening with a newly plucked olive leaf in her beak. She came back to him towards evening with a newly plucked olive leaf in her beak. Then Noah knew for certain that the water on the earth had subsided still further. He waited yet another seven days and released the dove, but she never came back. And so it came about that, on the first day of the first month of his six hundred and first year, the water had dried up on the earth, and Noah removed the hatch and looked out of the ark.
After forty days Noah opened the skylight of the ark, and let a raven go out to see if the water had receded, but the raven But the raven flew back and forth, and did not return until the water on the ground was dry. Noah waited seven days, and then let out a dove from the ark to see if the water on the ground had receded some more. But because the ground was full of water, the dove had no place to land, so it flew back to Noah's ark. Noah waited another seven days and again sent out the dove from the ark. When evening came, the dove returned with a freshly pecked olive leaf in its beak. Noah then knew that the water on the ground had almost receded. But he waited seven more days and then let the dove out. This time it never came back. Thus, on the first day of the first month of Noah's six hundred and first year, the water on the ground finally receded, and Noah opened the hatch cover and peered out of the ark, and the ground was completely dry.
By the twenty-seventh day of the second month the whole earth was dry. And God said to Noah, 'Come out of the ark, you and your wife, your Bring out every living creature that is with you, live things of every kind, bird and beast and every reptile that moves on the ground, and let them swarm over the earth. Bring out every living creature that is with you, live things of every kind, bird and beast and every reptile that moves on the ground, and let them swarm over the earth and be fruitful and increase there. Every wild animal, all cattle, every bird, and every reptile that moves on the ground, came out of the ark by families. Then Noah built an altar to the Lord. He took ritually clean beasts and birds of every kind, and offered whole-offerings on the altar. When the Lord smelt the soothing odor, he said within himself, 'Never again will I curse the Lord's presence. When the Lord smelt the soothing odor, he said within himself, 'Never again will I curse the ground because of man, however evil his inclinations may be from his youth upwards. I will never again kill every living creature, as I have just done.'
On the twenty-seventh day of the second month the earth was all dry. And God said to Noah, "Come out of the ark, you and your wife and your sons and daughters-in-law. Let out all kinds of earthly creatures, birds, animals, and creeping things that you took with you on the ark, so that they may breed and multiply and spread out over the whole world." So Noah came out of the ark with his wife and his sons and daughters-in-law. All kinds of earthly creatures: beasts and animals, livestock, birds and reptiles all paired in male and female pairs, also came out of the boat. Then Noah built an altar to the Lord of heaven. He chose all kinds of clean birds and beasts as offerings and placed them on the altar to be consecrated to the Lord of Heaven. When the Lord of Heaven smelled the aroma of the offerings, he thought to himself, "I will never again plague the earth because of mankind. No matter how many evil thoughts man has had since childhood, I will never kill all living things as I did this time." [edit] The Ark in the animated series film Ultraviolet The Ark is the finest spaceship in Cybertron's history, and was an integral part of the full Autobot evacuation plan conceived by Optimus Prime in the first place. As the situation changed, Optimus changed his original intent. Though construction was delayed by the growing conflict between the two factions and a severe global energy shortage, construction of the Ark kept going.
Even with the many constraints of objective conditions, Optimus Prime demanded that the design team (led by Jack, Reckless, and Crane) use the highest level of components and equipment. He planned to use the Ark for exploring energies that existed beyond Cybertron, as well as going to other worlds threatened by the Decepticons.
However, on its maiden voyage, the Ark was attacked by a Decepticon warship, the Retribution, and boarded by a Decepticon raiding party, and ended up crashing to Earth carrying the crews of both factions. The Ark and everything inside it spent four million Earth years peacefully on the planet. Since the Ark's central computer system awakened these Cybertronians trapped on Earth, the dropship became a base for the Autobots.
Technical Details
The Ark is massive, with enough space, equipment, and room for nearly 300 Cybertronians. In addition to living quarters, the Ark is equipped with advanced engineering and medical pods. It was one of the first space ships to utilize space-jumping teleportation technology, capable of using wormholes to physically teleport over long distances for short periods of time. Its nacelles can accommodate multiple space ships. The Ark also carries ceremonial items, including the Book of the Covenant [see "Leadership module"].
