Swim For It

Interesting that you feel that it didn't. If you read the details of the account, it makes you think: if it wasn't real, why give the actual dimensions for its construction? And Jesus himself made mention of it being real in his account of what the last days would be like: nobody took any note, they were living their lives with no notice, until the flood came and swept them all away. The ark was built to save not only animals, and 8 people who listened, but to rid the earth of the wicked: if they had been left to themselves they would have eventually ruined everything. Just like today. The details were written for our encouragement, to know that wickedness and greedy people will come to an end, and we can live once again on a peaceful earth, a Paradise as originally purposed. And one thing God cannot do is lie. (Genesis chapter 6 thru 9:17; Matthew 24:36-39) Also, see jw.org. I think you are curious enough to go look it up.........

It never actually existed anyway.
