NO! To the contrary. And I do NOT "believe" that Noah's ark had NOT been built.
I KNOW that Noah's Ark had NOT been built. The story of Noah's ark is pure myth and never happened.
The Israelites picked up the story of the flood from the epic of Gilgamesh during their Babylonian Captivity and, upon their return to their homeland, they modified the story to make it reflect an act by their own god and incorporated it into their scriptures.
The story of the flood is contrary to human history, the geological record and the fossils in that record, genetics, population statistics, distribution of life forms, and rational thought.
That is why the promoters of creationism, in their web sites and books, resort to misrepresentations, deceptions, omission of facts, and falsehoods in their attempts to convince others that the story is true.
And clueless lay creationists just lap it all up and regurgitate it here.
No, not as described in Genesis. Such a wooden vessel could not do what the story says it did. The story probably originated with a holy man who anticipated a flood on the Tigris or the Euphrates and put his family, his cow, his goats and his chickens on board a raft and saved them from the flood. Embellishment and exaggeration with the retelling of the story created the Noah story.
