Could Noah and his family have built such a massive structure as Noah’s ark by themselves? Well, did they have to?

Genesis tells us that only eight people were saved from the flood on board the ark. But nowhere does it tell us how many people helped build the ark. It’s quite likely that Noah hired others to help with the construction. Even today many unbelievers are willing to work for believers. This would not only have helped get the ark built, but would also have given Noah opportunity to urge unbelievers to repent from their sin.

When answering skeptical claims, first go back and read what the Bible actually says!
