He also thinks bacteria can randomly mutate by chance and make men.
It was intelligently designed. It is intelligence vs chance. It could be an engineer, an astronaut, a teacher a clerk, or a bus driver, but not mother nature. Start there.So, to answer my question, you don't know how you know that an engineer designed my computer, then.

That's easy -- it crashes.So, to answer my question, you don't know how you know that an engineer designed my computer, then.
One can be photographed, one can't.That's easy -- it crashes.
Don't you remember?
Professionals built this.
Amateurs built this.
Man is a different story. Man started out perfect - sinned - and fell. So, we have the opposite of evolution.
The integrated complexity of said system along with testing of chance.

I'd like to see how the ark would measure up against modern ships, since we really don't have much to go on by as far as seaworthiness, considering it was only afloat for about 30 days or so and we definitely have ships that have lasted much much longer than that.

Kudos to your father-in-law --Professionals also built all the myriad ships that have sailed for decades without any problems. In fact, my father-in-law has designed (not built, he's a naval architect, but designed) ice-breaker ships. One of his is still going after 26 years. So, yeah.
My mistake. Thanks for the correction.Genesis 7:11 ¶ In the six hundredth year of Noah's life, in the second month, the seventeenth day of the month, the same day were all the fountains of the great deep broken up, and the windows of heaven were opened.
Genesis 7:24 And the waters prevailed upon the earth an hundred and fifty days.
Genesis 8:4 ¶ And the ark rested in the seventh month, on the seventeenth day of the month, upon the mountains of Ararat.
150 days = 5 months
To answer your question, no modern vessel ever built, or will be built, could withstand the Flood.
That is, if I understand what these Internet scientists here have been telling us.
If I have the story right, any modern vessel today would melt in the extreme heat that would be boiling the oceans into outer space.
I tried that already -- (28) -- it's still a theory.
No problem --My mistake. Thanks for the correction.
Because a house would not get the attention that the Ark did.So, if God could create a divinely protected ship that goes against the very laws of nature, why didn't he just make it a really big house or whatever and protect it with his divine powers, the way he did the ark?
I only advocate that as a last resort.In fact, if the answer to all the questions about the ark, such as "How did a wooden boat that big not break apart?" "How did all the animals fit?" etc, is "divine powers" or "goddidit," why even try to defend it with answers like "water from Neptune" or whatever? Why not just answer "goddidit" to everything?
Good -- but to ask for the definition of evolution, and get one of the supporting facts as an answer, is not giving the whole picture.The change in allele frequency over time is an observable, testable, repeatable FACT.

Evolution is much more than just alleles changing over time.
Are you kidding?Study ecology, genetics, biochemistry, embryology, anatomy, microbiology, bioinformatics, physiology, and molecular biology.
Are you kidding?
I still get goosebumps watching red litmus paper turn green; let alone studying all that stuff.
Why was there a need for faith when building the thing that would save the animals?No problem --
Because a house would not get the attention that the Ark did.
Remember, Noah made the Hall of Faith (Hebrews 11) for building this Ark.
How much faith would be required to build a house?
It'd be interesting but how does that fit into the Bible?Also, keep in mind that the Ark ended its journey -- not started it -- at Ararat.
Noah, in my opinion, lived nowhere near Mesopotamia.
I only advocate that as a last resort.
Saying "God did it" to every question doesn't foster learning the specific events.
Think what the Bible would be like without the "children's stories" we knew and loved; like Jonah and the whale, Daniel in the lion's den, the parting of the Red Sea, etc.
