For today’s post we will tackle the question the Skeptic Annotated Bible asked: How long was the ark afloat?
Here are the answers which the skeptic believes indicate a Bible contradiction:
For seven months or so.
“In the seventh month, on the seventeenth day of the month, the ark rested upon the mountains of Ararat.” (Genesis 8:4)
For at least ten months.
“The water decreased steadily until the tenth month; in the tenth month, on the first day of the month, the tops of the mountains became visible.”” (Genesis 8:5)
(All Scriptural quotation comes from the New American Standard Bible)
