Noah's ark seems to me not literal. I think the use of time in the Bible maybe could even just represent the concept of chronological events, and using the idea of "days" and "weeks" makes it easier to understand that concept.. but obviously not in a literal way. If these events that are described in the scriptures are not meant to be taken as events that actually occurred in reality, how are we to know that other parts of the Bible are similarly not meant to be taken as events that actually occurred in reality? Perhaps Jesus of Nazareth's existence was never meant to be taken as an event that occurred in reality. Perhaps it was meant as a tale of inspiration intended to guide moral behavior. Except if He never walked and preached in the Holy Land how would anyone have convinced folks in the decades after His death they did in fact see and hear Him? Debate about His divinity is a whole other story. |
