"YEC experts" came up with such woofers as vegetarian T-rex, and a flat Earth. So understandably, people don't find them very convincing.
How did the koalas and dodos get there? After the flood, how did they get back home?
Perhaps you should actually read the Bible, instead of listening to your YEC "experts." That's not what scripture says.
As you learned, God does not say the entire planet was flooded. That's another revision of the YECs.
Hint: "clean" and "unclean."
That's the retreat creationists made when they realized that the Ark couldn't possibly have every kind of land organism. So they redefined "kind" to allow evolution of new species, genera and families of organisms.
That's still a problem. You see, that would mean the thousands of different species of mammal we see today, would have to evolve about 5,000 years by some kind of hyperfast evolution that no one has ever seen or can even explain. Another magic fix for flaws in your new doctrines. And with roughly 35,000 species of land vertebrates, that would mean new species popping up monthly.
And no one thought it was worth mentioning. Really? C'mon.
It would have been a very leaky one. You can't build a wooden vessel that large, without it flexing and leaking at the seams. The largest wooden ship ever built, the Wyoming was as big as the Ark is said to be, and leaked so badly from flexing that pumps had to be continously operated to keep it from sinking. It eventually did sink, having been caught in open seas in a storm. So now, you need a magical fix for that as well.
Two words: Froude numbers. Learn about it, and then see if the people doing the "studies" actually accounted for scaling. And yes, it matters.
YEC scientists never taught a flat earth- that is you and you ilk imposing pagan beliefs onto scripture.
And yes before the fall all animals were vegetarians!
Genesis 1:
29 And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat.
30 And to every beast of the earth, and to every fowl of the air, and to every thing that creepeth upon the earth, wherein there is life, I have given every green herb for meat: and it was so.
How did they get there? C'mon man! Ubereth and Lyfteth!!!! LOL
I do read the bible and it says two of every kind! Dog is a kind. Cat is a kind! we did not have the hundreds of species of dogs back then like we do today! Same with cats and I am sure same with all other animals! Though that cannot be proven empirically.
Yes the Bible says the whole earth!
Gen. 7:
17 And the flood was forty days upon the earth; and the waters increased, and bare up the ark, and it was lift up above the earth.
18 And the waters prevailed, and were increased greatly upon the earth; and the ark went upon the face of the waters.
19 And the waters prevailed exceedingly upon the earth; and all the high hills, that were under the whole heaven, were covered.
20 Fifteen cubits upward did the waters prevail; and the mountains were covered.
21 And all flesh died that moved upon the earth, both of fowl, and of cattle, and of beast, and of every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth, and every man:
God used certain modifiers just for the purpose of those who read the
bible through their own opinions!
The whole earth and the whole heavens! And you cannot flood a region so that the mountain tops were under 21.5 feet of water. As soon as the water hits the top it keeps spilling over and starts spreading out again! C'mon man! You are the declared scientist in this discussion and i know this better than you ?
Clean and unclean . Yes 7 pair of each clean bird andf animal (that list was much shorter than the Leviticus list . So sue me!

Well as I have all the material on recent YEC studies it is not new!
But here is a study for you:
How did all the animals fit on Noah's Ark? - creation.com
a blurb from AIG:
How Many Species Are in the World Today?
Skeptics often assert that there are millions of species in the world— far more than the number that could fit on the ark. However, according to estimates published in 2014, there are fewer than 1.8 million documented species of organisms in the world. Consider also that over 98 percent of those species are fish, invertebrates, and non-animals (like plants and bacteria). This means that there are fewer than 34,000 species of known, land-dependent vertebrates in the world today.

Given the average size of land animals is about a sheep (remember as Noah was bringing them to repopulate the earth they would have been young breeders)
So the ark was more than roomy enough for the animals and food and yes even the fecies from teh species!!!

Wrong again! It was pitched inside and out! and if the boats from 2000 B.C. from greece were taught and handed down by Noah and his descendants the boards were habeen a kind of tongue and groove and thus very unleakable and if the pegs were just a size smaller than the holes and pounded in. As they got wet they would have expanded and form a water tight seal!
As for breaking? Not in the least! If Noah (and I am sure He did as God gave Noah the blueprints) had honeycombed the cross beams and made the beams not in the same plane but on each level in differing places- it would have exponentially added to the strength of the ship. ICR did a scale test because of this concern in a wave tank and found that by honeycombing the inner beams and stalls, the ship would have been nearly as string as a modern liner! Of course there may have also been a little help from god! But of course you eschew the miraculous in the first chapters of Genesis!
Two words: Froude numbers. Learn about it, and then see if the people doing the "studies" actually accounted for scaling. And yes, it matters.
Well as engineers and others did the planning and designing- why don't you ask them directly? They will tell you! See I am not one who think that YEC scientists are deliberately trying to deceive and fake data!
