Noah's Ark

[AV1611VET]

Your premise here is that the stated exterior dimensions of the ark describe a craft insufficient to house the fauna of the time, stipulating that scientists are correct about species diversity.

Nice try.

 

[durangodawood]

Nice try.

Yep. I nailed it.

If you want to believe in the Noah's Ark story literally with a literal worldwide flood, you shouldn't even try to justify it because you can't really, to just handwave all the problems away with divine intervention is the only consistent position. Seems like you're getting closer to that, good for you.

The only justification I'm able to put onto the Noah's Flood story is that it is the myth story of an ancient middle-eastern tribe of desert nomads. And that's all. It's a story that today is all about belief, and nothing more.

Yeah, he basically admitted that it is impossible to house the entire diversity of earth in the ark described in the Bible.

And for the -- is it third? -- time, I'm more interested in the inside of the Ark, than the outside.

Do you know the difference between the inside of a house, and the outside?

Well, I design houses for a living. So I certainly know the difference.

And I'll tell you right now: the two are inseparable... unless we're discussing the color of the drapes.

E-scientists -- once they hijack a thread and bring it down to their level, momentum keeps the bologna slicing.

What is momentum anyway? ½mv[sup]2[/sup]?

I guess I'll have to petition to authority to intervene.

Or discussing a TARDIS house.

I already said: your proposed speculation would solve the problem if true. What more do you want?

(Then, I proposed a better solution to compare yours against).

I take it back.

The TARDIS ark might fail for buoyancy problems.... given the internal mass vs external displacement issue.

Haha, exactly, I missed that one too, it would sink like a rock!

I take it you don't watch much Dr Who?
the Exterior Mass doesn't correlate to the Internal Mass.
In Logopolis the Tardis Chameleon Circuit was being reprogrammed and the Tardis shrunk even smaller, they picked it up by hand.

That's kinetic energy actually.

Darn it. I thought I was so clever....

What unwillingness? You want me to admit that an imaginary and impossible object, larger on the inside than on the outside, could hold all species on earth? Ok, it could. Happy?

What's next? You will now address the water "issue" with the impossibility that all flood waters came from and went back to Neptune? Oh, wait, you already did that.

Those "theories" are as likely as Aman's theory (err "God'd truth") that the pre-flood world was really a different planet.

I thought I answered that one for on another post? The water is in the oceans and also frozen at the polar caps.

Now you can stop asking your silly question over and over.

The water from the polar caps, plus the oceans, is nowhere near enough to flood the world. Your 'answer' can be refuted with about forty-five seconds worth of research. That does not bode well for your position.

Now you can stop asking your silly question over and over.

As long as you continue to hold asinine, indefensible beliefs and defend them with crappy arguments, you will be called out on them.

How about we stick to the OP and discuss the inside of the Ark, instead of the outside?

Fair enough? or do you need to know the difference between them?

YOU should discuss the inside of the ark. Since you first advanced your idea, you havent said a peep more about it.
