The leaking occurred even in calm water conditions. And the flexing problem gets worse the longer your vessel (and the ark is usually estimated as at least a hundred feet longer than the Wyoming). The limitations have everything to do with the structure and the material limitations of the materials making it up.
So are you now asserting that Noah and his sons pumped 24/7, with bronze-age pumps they somehow manufactured (but somehow it didn't get written down in the flood myth)? Are you now asserting that this global flood with all the deluge of water from the skies and "fountains of the deep" erupting, and the open water of a worldwide ocean where there is nothing, no landmass, to hinder wind from making enormous waves, was calm and peaceful water without any roughness?
Well, I've seen plenty of stress-maps of things. I'm not an engineer but even I know that a long piece of wood on an undulating surface of a body of water with a period < the length of the piece of wood will probably have stresses along it.
Stop trying to invoke miracle as a way of digging yourself out of whatever hole you find yourself in.
Does not allow for what?For the second time: the Bible does not allow for it.
The Bible allows for whatever history its reader reads into it.The Bible allows for 4100 years of history: from 4004 BC - 96AD.
So, you were unable to show how those are evidence of the Flood. And no, a global flood is not required to make serpentine rivers.White cliffs and meandering rivers supposedly took thousands of years to form according to the philosophy of evolution, did they not?
The only way they could have appeared on the landscape so fast, is by God doing it.
Did I not show in the past ... from the Bible ... how God ordered the flood waters to a specific siphoning point, ordering them to follow a serpentine path, and thus etching into the earth's surface a picture of the Serpent as a reminder as to who was responsible for the events that led up to the Flood?
You DO realize that for a LONG time science DID look for the Flood, right? It wasn't found and ultimately the field of Geology threw out all pre-conceptions and developed into the field today that sustains us in just about everything we use on a daily basis.
I seriously doubt it.Nah, I am pretty sure that the professionals who built the Wyoming knew better.
The ark was a massive structure, barely floating, in relatively calm water. Any stresses would be absorbed by the whole structure thus mitigating any danger of even leaking.
The weren't looking for the flood as described in the bible but for a flood of their own imagination.
You really need to stop abusing the Bible in such a manner. There was no magic in Egypt. The makers of the Hindenberg did not base their work on myths either.I seriously doubt it.
They weren't as stupid as those who built the Hindenberg, but they did probably think: If God can do it, we can too.
Exodus 7:11 Then Pharaoh also called the wise men and the sorcerers: now the magicians of Egypt, they also did in like manner with their enchantments.
No math is needed when a wooden ship, smaller than the Ark is supposed to have been, was been built not much more than a hundred years ago, and the result is a matter of historical record.

Ummm, considering that many in the early field were Bible-believing Christians I'm not sure how you arrive at that conclusion. Oh, wait, I know: NO TRUE SCOTSMAN!
(So now we've eliminated SCIENCE, HISTORY and LOGIC. Shall we proceed?)
The historical record of the ark is that it survived the flood.
Paraphrasing Mark Twain, "You could go over the research of those investigators with a divining rod and never find the real flood."

Enough time to go by for these cliffs and rivers to form naturally.Does not allow for what?
You guys aren't even trying to understand, are you?You really need to stop abusing the Bible in such a manner. There was no magic in Egypt. The makers of the Hindenberg did not base their work on myths either.
