The Ark and the Darkness

the ark of darkness

Fun and yet extremely silly movie, based on a silly and fantastical book. However, it did need a bit more humor, perhaps they should have got Melissa McCarthy involved? To be honest I have no idea how this even got made let alone produced. It's all complete and utter nonsense. In order to hold all the animals it would have had to have been many time larger than stated in the bible, just impossible on the alleged size. No wonder Noah got boozed up the night before - Don't believe that he got blind drunk? Read the story! Science meets the Bible? I don't think so. Just typical nonsense from people who don't like the truth. And lets put a further spanner on the works, and if you don't believe this, do some research, it's called Google. Yeshua (the proper name of Jesus) did not do any of the miracles in the new testament, they are stories going back many generations from older religions. All of them! Enjoy the fantasy!

Just sit right back and you'll hear a tale A tale of Noah's Ark That Christians pretend is history Along with Jurassic Park If you are looking for any real science in this work of fiction, beware! If you already believe the Bible is literal truth from the one "true God" then you will love this reinforcement to the belief and faith you already have without evidence. This movie highlights the most ridiculous "science" invented by Answers in Genesis, which is Ken Ham's project, to try and convince the rest of us that humans and dinosaurs lived together, the Earth is less than 6000 years old, and another "judgement" is coming soon (as they have been saying for over 2000 years). Spend your time watching the Bill Nye and Ken Ham debate on YouTube instead. At least there will be ONE real scientist to refute all of this nonsense. There isn't much science, but there are quite a few laughs. The pinnacle being the end credits where you see that everyone interviewed has given themselves the title of "doctor".

Wow. I am just simply awestruck by this so-called documentary that I thought to be, from the description, a scientific collaboration of geologists and historians about the flood myth. I thought it was going to present varying views, as many research studies have been produced on the topic (combined with literary and oral traditions that span cultures and religions throughout the world) to show that there likely was in fact a major deluge at some time in human history in the Mediterranean world, which by the way was the known world at that time. It is so far removed from either in all aspects. I actually created an IMDB account just to comment. As a former Biblical Scholar with a degree from Yale University in this subject, the circular logic is astounding. Starting with the assumption that the Bible says as much and is therefore truth, followed by claims that use the Bible as the sole evidence for these arguments is just absurd. There is literally zero extra-biblical evidence or perspective in the film, nor is there any scientific research or counterfactual included whatsoever. It begins with the reasoning that the Bible says there was a flood. It then proceeds to use the Bible to confirm it's own null hypothesis...for those of you who are actual scientists or researchers. As someone who is both Christian and a historian of the Bible (don't get me started on that separate level of analysis alone in terms of historicity and interpretation), I find this film insulting to critical historians and Christian believers as well. It negates the value of biblical literature as one source of human history by asserting that a single document is the sole truth and account of humanity. I gave the film 5 starts out of 10 for a reason. I would have given a rating of 1 star. Based on it's deceitful marketing and nonsensical presentation. However, as a current lobbyist who argues for a living and spins webs of propaganda into debatable talking points, I am dumbfounded by the sheer brilliance of these "researchers" in the film. Just in complete awe. I have to respect that along with their dedication to perpetuating this mythos. As I stated above, as a former scholar of the Hebrew Bible and New Testament, I wholeheartedly believe their starting point is just blatantly missing the point of what these "divine" texts intend. We are not meant to interpret the Bible or any other holy text literally. Even the ancients, at their time of collectively writing the "Bible" that later became canonized texts (based on political reasons under the Roman Empire), did not take these accounts literally. Again, there is no space or time here to delve into so many details. But, current biblical apologists simply miss the point. Accounts of God, Heaven, miracles and so forth were not meant to be "scientifically" proven by modern-day believers. In my honest opinion, this dilutes the intended message that was understood even by the numerous original authors of the biblical texts. It just defeats the purpose. Faith is a completely different concept than proof. If evidence existed to humans of biblical accounts, faith would be irrelevant. Faith is what believers hold dear for the very fact that there is not proof. Attempting to prove biblical stories totally misses the point - both for us currently and for the ancients living in biblical times. I could write books on this topic, but I'll end here. For those who need to prove the Bible through supposed "scientific research," I would question your own faith. The two are irreconcilable. For those who need proof, faith is nonexistent by definition. For those of us who question and rely on science, no amount of faith will ever suffice. I neither deny nor affirm any absolutes. I find solace personally in living in the realm between belief (or faith) and reason.

Obviously Christians will really like this documentary, and those who are not Christians will really not like it. The CGI is weak and lacking a professional touch, probably due to budget constraints. Many of the animations and still images appear as if they are under water, which really is unnecessary and bothersome. The information presented by various scientists from different disciplines is extraordinary. The scientific method is clearly used in all aspects to explain this catastrophic event that destroyed almost every living creature. How was the ark able to stay afloat during strong winds and high waves. It's explained by a mechanical engineer. Where did all the water come from and where did it go afterwards? That too is explained by science along with much more. The last 10 or 15 minutes are dedicated to "witnessing" to the non believers in the audience. I thought this was unnecessary. This documentary was put out by Christians for Christians. The skeptic will remain as such.

Utter drivel, vegetarian t-rexs roaming around the mythical garden of eden with the even more mythical Adam and Eve. This really could be called comedy if the people claiming to be doctors weren't so serious in their narrative, Christian marketing has taken note of the popularity of Graham Hancock and co and the ancient aliens format to bring the feeble minded the oxymoronic science behind genesis, if your so desperate to believe well this is for you you'll get all the snappy science class PowerPoint presentations you can handle with pretty good CGI to be honest for the attention deficits out there, I live in middle earth and my best friends an orc.

Great documentary. Very thoroughly explains the "house of cards" the evolutionist argument sits on. This is a documentary everyone should watch,creationist and evolutionist alike. This documentary soundly disproves evolution by careful articulation from highly qualified experts. I also liked the part how the documentary goes into the way modern ships copy the design of the ark that Noah built during the great flood. I never knew that modern animals such as turtles and ducks were found buried together with dinosaurs. Scientists know this but intentionally leave that out to help push the whole "theory of evolution" nonsense. God bless our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ! Highly recommend.

This is by far, the best documentary on the world wide flood. It give scientific evidence for rapid burial, sediment layers, and has PhD scientists presenting the information, as well as excellent CGI! Everyone needs to see this no matter your age. We are told in public schools that the Grand Canyon took "millions of years to form" yet we have sedimentary layers created by Mount Saint Helens in the 1980's, proving it doesn't take millions of years to carve out a canyon and deposit layers. Ralph Strean and Dan Biddle, show the irrefutable evidences, including multiple ethnicity histories which also document a world wide flood.
