And would not have lasted a day on the water given its size and contents. As I've said the ark like the flood requires miracles piled on miracles with the miracle of god hiding all the evidence to work.
Why do you quote YHWH'S WORD<The first clue that the flood story is a creation of man, apart from the obvious, is the claim that God regretted his own works. God never has, is not currently, nor will he ever regret anything he has done, is doing or will do at any future time from eternity to eternity. When the Hebrew authors of scripture invented the world wide flood story they simply projected their own exasperation onto deity.
"And the Lord was sorry that He had made man on the earth, and He was grieved in His heart. So the Lord said, “I will destroy man whom I have created from the face of the earth, both man and beast, creeping thing and birds of the air, for I am sorry that I have made them."
Sounds good until you give a moments thought to the 'vapours' generated by thousands of animals dedicating a quantity of manure that the Noah family would have found impossible to deal with given the tiny ventilation door available.

And once again way outside the technology of the time. Furnaces? In a ship covered in flammable pitch? As described in the Old Testament there is no place for furnaces, or the fuel for them.The ark would have needed a great ventilation system, which I envision as large furnaces throughout the structure. They would not only provide warmth but plenty of 'draft' air that would remove any noxious vapors produced by the animals.
And they're off, semantics out of the gate first!Here's a groovy video I found that talks about Noah's Ark, which happens to be my minor forté.
So I though I'd post it and then pick it apart over time; but not necessarily in chronological order.
The first thing I would like to point out is that Noah's Ark is not a boat, it is an ark.
A containment vessel.
Calling it a boat or a ship shows a disrespect for its true identity.
More later.

And that was when He still showed mercy.....He would have destroyed Israel in the desert, but for the pleading of Moses.
Thousands of animals defecating, one tiny ventilation door. What can go wrong? Better not light a match.
"... Fresh Air!...."
".... Green Acres here we come ! ...... "
('twas designed perfectly, by the designer of the universe! --- never a mistake, never even one tiny error, ....... SHEER AWESOME ! )

That's what happens when someone takes the attitude:
"Oh, look what so-and-so did in the Bible. I can do that too!"
And that was when He still showed mercy.....
In the coming wrath, for those opposed to Jesus, no mercy - no future hope - no recovery......
OOPS, which god are you following ? I didn't notice....Thousands of animals defecating, one tiny ventilation door. What can go wrong? Better not light a match.

Yes, now how do you fuel them? And monitor them? How many people are required to empty the tonnes of manure, fuel the furnaces, feed the animals, all using the single tiny door? How much fuel is required, along with food and clean water?We have large furnaces within very combustible structures even (gasp) today. I have two; a furnace and a fireplace. You'd be aghast at how close both are to combustible surfaces.
They were much 'smarter' than people today - they believed in God either because God saved them, or because God destroyed them !!!!!!We have large furnaces within very combustible structures even today. I have two; a furnace and a fireplace (even my oven is right against the side of my wooden kitchen cabinet).
I'm sure that managing fires without burning everything down was a skill in Noah's day.
But do explain what you say I don't understand so we can get to the bottom of that one way or another. Start by explaining why it is 100% impossible for fossils high up not to suggest or even prove there was a flood? But of course if you cannot prove what you say, I suppose you may be dead in the water before you even get started. Should be interesting.
I also thought it was funny you tell me *I* fail because science can't prove anything lol. See your oddball way of viewing things? First, you still have not been able to grasp the fact that science does nothing, science is simply a name given to people using the study of the natural to draw conclusions, so in reality it's only research and conclusion, and often drawn from opinion
On science not being able to prove anything, of course not, as I just said science does nothing but people and their research can prove things. I never did agree with scientific study not being able to prove things, that is ridiculous. You stick your finger in the fire and you have proof fire hurts, the research shows the proof. To say there is no way to prove anything, is a clear cop out, because you know you cannot prove this, not that it cannot be done if you could. Some of the excuses you people come up with and expect to get away with, are laughable.
Oh man, I almost forgot about the animals. We could have a whole other thread on why the animals make it impossible.The ark would have needed a great ventilation system, which I envision as large furnaces throughout the structure. They would not only provide warmth but plenty of fresh 'draft' air that would remove any noxious vapors produced by the animals.
