I proposed a rather gentle flood, not a tsunami, at least in the region of the ark. You are making the same mistake others have made, that is to change the flood model to one that supports your assumptions. Most notably you insist that the ark was an oversized 'ship'. It wasn't. It was a mammoth building capable of surviving the flood it was built for. In all probability Noah used some joinery methods that related to shipbuilding, but only to ensure that the structure was watertight.
You mean with Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, or the Ark?
I've found that a lot of geological and archeological studies have been suppressed due to agendas by the mainstream scientific world that would go against the commonly held beliefs. Scientists who present contradictory findings have actually been threatened and lost their 'papers' or status in the community. So, I highly suspect any and all studies until everything is investigated and backed up including the scientists themselves AND their funding sources.
A single layer of sediment that contains fossils from all different types of animals; humans, dinosaurs, mammals, reptiles, modern birds, flowering plants, non-flowering plants, and all other life that has ever existed on the planet. This layer would be visible in the same geologic layer all over the world.What should we expect to see? What would a world wide flood deposit leave as evidence that it had occurred?
No, I'm simply saying that the worldwide Flood would not have been the gentle, gradual event that oldwiseguy is postulating.So are you suggesting that the Ark would not have survived such an onslaught?
OK. I'm game. After all science came much much later. God told them how to build that ark. He designed it. Every detail. Do not insult God by imagining that He did not do it far far far better than science could.So... god did it? Alright, let's just ignore material science, statics and dynamics, fluid mechanics, and the history of technology and invoke the supernatural to explain away problems.
Whatever floats your boat.

About how koalas got down under...Qantas is, and always has been, the flying kangaroo, not koala.
I get that God would not have used pre flood man's science! They never even built a big boat!!!!!!!Do you not get that science was indeed practiced before people organized it into a specific and named field?

Great, so whatever 'science' pre flood man had, it was not that Noah used. He one Upped them.You are confusing technology with science there. Science is an investigative practice that increases knowledge, technology is often a product of scientific advances, but it isn't science in and of itself.

No, whatever technology pre flood humans had, and when it actually lists out how the ark was supposedly built, it actually seems fairly in line with technology from at the very least as far back as when the story was written.
Probably because man copied it!
Yes. That was the first big boat on earth.? What do you mean, is this about attempts to imitate the construction of the ark?
Yes. That was the first big boat on earth.
Right, but why quibble? It floated on water and held people and stuff.I dare you to call it a boat in front of some people, I kid you not a lot of people try to argue that it wasn't a boat who are Christians. Also, compared to many ships we have built, the ark actually wasn't that big.
Your point is that God did not reaaalllly design the ark?? If so I might call it more of a stub nosed twig than a point.And proving my point.
