So....the Ark just porously floated atop the water? All 3-500ft of it? With thousands of animals inside?Or was half underwater, but still lightweight enough to float so the other half was not underwater?If Noah, some 4000 years ago, was able to build a ship of this magnitude, why did he NOT pass along the knowledge? Why can we not continue to build wooden ships like the Ark? Why are we stuck at the ~300ft mark when he easily surpassed that.......withOUT technology at his side?I'll tell you why: god helped him. Gave him the strength of 600 men. (probably gave him 600 men too in the likes of slaves, which were immediately thrown overboard so as to maintain the "chosen" people's race). So there is NO good literal explanation for this.

Really? SO how many animals in total are you supposing were aboard this Ark? Given that a good portion of the ship would be submerged due to your hypothesis, very little room would be left for the rest of the animals. Unless of course, you suppose very few animals were aboard to begin with. In which case, how are there so many now? This is a science forum. Stick to verifiable facts please.Edited by hooah212002, : tryin to fix double quoteEdited by hooah212002, : No reason given.Edited by hooah212002, : still getting quotes properEdited by Adminnemooseus, : Removed the "crackbrain" in front of the "hypothesis". Don't do things like that.

Ok, but to determine where you are coming from, we need to determine how many animals YOU think were aboard the ark. If you think only 5 were aboard, well then, this vessel can be as shoddy as you like. However, if there are a number similar to the number we see today, you have alot more explaining to do. Such as, in the event of a storm (assuming it did NOT storm the entire time, which it had to have), are more animals not drowning due to the storm swells? There goes the whole entire bottom deck. Possibly the second, depending on how far below the surface this woven ship is."A significant number" doesn't tell me anything. Significant to whom? Significant in relation to what? The cosmos? An ant hill?Your "source" says 7 of each or 2 of each, depending where you look. Given how many animals there are today, your hypothesis is extremely flawed. You have yet to come up with an explanation for the number of different animals we see today. It is called sarcasm. I figured it was obvious enough for most to discern that.I think I may go for a canoe ride in a wicker basket after work today.edit: Am I straying too far off topic here?Edited by hooah212002, : Am I straying off topic?

So a fair few is.....how many? Specifically please. Ok, at least an estimate that is a number.5? 100? 5000? 100,000?how do insects not fall through the cracks in this woven monstrosity? How many other woven ships have you seen documented that would shed light on this hypothesis and support the fact that Noah knew how to weave, WEAVE a ship seaworthy for a year?

But your model wouldn't. Go throw a wicker basket on a lake and see if it is still floating after even a week with maybe 1 rainy day.Not to mention it says cover it with pitch, inside and out. If it is woven, and meant to take on water, why cover it with pitch?

That easy, eh? Gee, how come we haven't thought to build ships like this all along? To say seaworthy, I mean to withstand the obvious weather that created, and sustained, said flood. It has already been proven, by MANY on this forum alone, that it was not a matter of 8 people on a big boat chilling with a BBQ on the 4th of July on a nice calm lake. The WHOLE ENTIRE EARTH BECAME DRENCHED WITH WATER. Not exactly a pleasant sea experience, you think? The physics of it do not allow it. So, yes, your ship most definitely needs to be "seaworthy".Edited by hooah212002, : Typos

Do me a favor: take a step away from the bible and into reality for one second and actually think about what you are proposing.A 400+ft boat, WOVEN, SO AS TO TAKE ON WATER, able to withstand 40 days and 40 nights of rain, enough of which to cover all mountains by 15 meters.Tel me with a straight face that seems plausible.......

In your hypothesis, sure. The thing is: IT'S NEVER BEEN DONE. SO you are purely speculating.I, on the other hand, am going off of how every ship found in the history of finding shit (archeology)has been built, none of which are woven, all of which are built in the "typical" fashion.So, sure, your ship "works" in your hypothesis because it's not been tested. Maybe it has, and failed, which is why ships aren't built that way. Feel free to come back from left field with a solid hypothesis.Edited by hooah212002, : have=has

You are making the claim of this porous vessel, why should I provide evidence to DISprove it? typical xtian. I am simply stating what should be the obvious.Throw a whiffle ball in a bath tub. It floats....until you put something in it. Why? Because it's bloody full of holes man!How about you name ONE such vessel recorded in history to come close to validating your claim.

I just wanted to add to this by pointing out Jupiter and the Red Spot. Do you know why that storm has raged for so long? At least one theory is because there is no land mass to stop it. So, think for second about our earth with its Hurricanes, Typhoons, etc., unabated for a year. Edited by hooah212002, : added quoteEdited by hooah212002, : No reason given.

how could he do that if he doesn't have god to give him the blueprints? Edited by hooah212002, : No reason given.

Answersingenesis...or any creationist website is NOT a valid source for any evidence as they have been proven to bolster evidence and distort facts/history time and time again. A simple perusal of this site alone will show you that.It's akin to me proving the FSM exists by going to venganza.org, then telling you to prove He doesn't. What part of "You are making a claim and YOU need to verify it" don't you get?It lies not on the shoulders of the defendant to prove why he did not do it.Edited by hooah212002, : spellcheck /fail

In his woven vessel which is full of holes.

It's balsa wood like material, so it naturally floats!Edited by hooah212002, : No reason given.

Easy: The pitch strengthened the wood.Edited by hooah212002, : is an /s necessary?
