I can tell you what will probably come out: 'Error 404'.Feed in the data from the bible and see what comes out.

When there is wind their will be waves. Let a fan blow over perfectly flat water and you will see waves. As the fan blows with more force, the waves will become larger.The E.F. encountered huge waves with a very long 'wavelength'. The ark floated in 'flatwater': no waves, no swells.
The bible says the ark was on the flood for the whole event, therefore the ark was on top of the water for the whole event. Consult meteorologists for the rest. Feed in the data from the bible and see what comes out.

You failed to mention the 'horse latitudes' which occurs around 30 degrees latitude, and runs right through the Mesopotamian Plain.Every time creationists try to make up an ad hoc explanation they raise more problems than they solve. More and more miraculous intervention is required.
I'm not talking about whether it floated.. I'm talking about the part where you say there would have been no waves:
Did you get that from the bible, evidence, or did you make it up to fit your argument?
The doldrums of the 'horse latitudes', of course.

Didn't you say there was something called pangea? Weather patterns depend on the geography. Why do you think there would be trade winds at the horse latitudes, or anywhere for that matter?

Can't say I'm an expert on dead horses, but Wikipedia says the horse latitudes are "an area which receives little precipitation and has variable winds mixed with calm". Doesn't say there's no wind at all.
Or did I miss something?

Wrong direction -- read his post again.Which often happens whenever you try to inject reality into magical thinking.

It was injecting miracles into computers.
High pressure and temps, calm seas (not enough wind to sail the ships) for long periods that have starved sailors. It is thought that horses that became unruly were thrown overboard to save the ship from damage and to lighten the load in hopes of moving faster. If the site of the ark was covered by the sea it would be in the 'horse latitude' of 30 degrees, therefore no wind or waves to cause it to sink (I didn't make this up. I found it on a very scientific meteorological website). The ark would then move in 'relatively calm' floodwater.

Horse Latitudes or Subtropical High are subtropical latitudes between 30 and 35 degrees both north and south. This region, under a ridge of high pressure called the subtropical high, is an area which receives little precipitation and has variable winds mixed with calm.
This is attempting to reason by a totally false analogy. The horse latitudes receive little precipitation not global rain for 40 days and nights, the sea is calm and not rushing over the land in a great flood.
I think I have heard almost exactly that from fundies several times already over the years.Details, details -- once you factor in some magical thinking, the Horse lattitudes are the calmest places on Earth.
You see, what happened is, God kept His hands over the Ark the whole time, sheltering it from the rain...
(Now let's wait for a fundie to take that idea and run with it)
