I'm becoming convinced that we are dealing with a troll here, as I don't think anyone can be that dim.

Default Did a World-Wide Flood in Noah's day Happen?

No!. Did some kind of flood occur as a basis for the myth, probably. Why be pikers here . . . rather than discussing the engineering of the Ark . . . why not discuss the aerodynamic structure and intricacies of the Tooth Fairy's wings?

That would probably be a more constructive discussion....

That's why the technology noah had in his day has left us so many examples, because it was so advanced lol.

They could NOT . . . so clearly it was manna from Heaven and God's power that sustained them all.

No because there are people that dim actually. They will not accept any fact that shakes their beliefs because their faith is predicated on the belief that the bible is 100 percent inerrant.

Not to mention could you imagine the smell that ship would have with all that crap piling up?

Well first we need to determine the velocity in relation to the mass of the wings *gets out slide rule*

Thanks for that. I like experimental tests, even those related to myths.

As Sanspeur says, the boat would broach and roll horribly, which would not be good for the animals, even if it didn't leak (despite Eusebius' stout claims that Noah had outstanding caulking techniques). We can see that the use of drogue - stones would stop the Ark from rolling over even when broached and with very heavy seas.

While one would doubt that the stones found by Wyatt near his rock outcrop mistakenly thought to be a preserved Ark (and then a fossilized Ark when it turned out to a rock outcrop) really are drogue - stones, and one might be skeptical of yet another piece of advanced technology in the brain of the multi - talented Genius Noah, the stability of the Ark, is still not totally refuted, though it still looks structurally doubtful at the 400 foot length and a rocky ride for the contents, even with stabilizers.

Not to mention that these stones are not mentioned in genesis and only come from the koran reading of the flood story. A time in while nautical knowledge was a tad more advanded.
