Is the story of Noah’s ark true or false?

The story is told in the book of Genesis that God instructed Noah to build an ark, and gather each pair of animals into the ark for the earth was about to flooded by rain. Now we know today that there are millions of animals on earth, so how is it possible for Noah to build an ark so large that it can contain all those animals?

If it's true, then why didn't the inevitable inbreeding cause massive genetic problems with each species, including humans?
Although it seems like many Christian types do come from a family tree containing one branch...

Many cultures around the world have flood myths. One should keep in mind that the "world" of these ancient cultures was miniscule compared to that of the modern world, and therefore, the number of different types of animals in each "known world" was finite.
A fable with a tiny basis in an ancient event (or events), perhaps?

Yes you are right.In an average year 750,000 tons of space debris,mostly dust and water droplets from outer space enter the atmosphere and are added to the Earth.At the time of Noah's Arc the Earth was about the size of Hooterville,Kentucky.

Not the Earth. Their "world". The people of ancient times didn't know the Earth as we know it today. To some of the more primitive peoples, a distance of a few hundred miles was a different "world".
Now, you can take your brain out of the Hooterville landfill.

Hi Lifelover!
Why do you believe it? What makes it seem like something like that could really happen? How's it possible to fit every animal in a boat?

The story of the Ark is just that, a fable.
There would be evidence everywhere if there was(could have been) a world wide flood.
A boat of those proportions, held together by joints and sealed with pitch is unseaworthy.
All the animals? Please!
Where did all of the water come from and where did it go?
Lastly, most of our fresh water lakes/sources would be brackish at best.

LL, I don't think Scam was looking for an argument. He just wanted to know why you believe it is true.
So many times when we ask a Christian why they believe something we get the answers that you just gave. One you believe it because it is in the Bible. Two that you don't have to answer that question and Three you don't want to argue when no one has started an argument.
Sometimes maybe people are just wanting an explanation as to why a Christian things something is real or that an event took place.
It is not about Noah's Ark per se. The topic could have just as easily been Jonah in the Whale.
