Re: ah ahh!
Even if there were giants, the cubit used would have been Noah's and there is no indication that Noah was a giant.

Re: Giant bones
See we have "Giants" even today, people being 7'" and on up.
Which is mostly do to hormonal (basically pituitary) imbalances, thus mutations, and therefore of evolutionary importance. It is the same reason there are dwarfs. Why would mutations be a "Creationist" idea?

Re: standards?
Scientists have an agenda; to prove it can't happen.
Scientists have no such agenda. If scientists are in involved into research on the idea of the the ark is not disprove it but to determine whether it is or isn't possible.

Re: Miracle or Bust
such as the animals were young
non sequitor. The topic is Noah's Ark Volume calculation. Where in the Noah Narrative does it say anything about the animals being young?
Where does it say
there were 7 pairs of clean animals, the males were food
?
What ifs, maybes don't apply. Just whether the ark measurements are capable of applying to the story as it is without adding new info.

Re: Miracle or Bust
However, how docile the animals are reflect the youth of the critters and their youth can allow for size reduction which in turn allows for lees food requirements.If you start with the contention that if the Bible does not claim it, then it cannot be used... You would also have to allow that if the Bible claims it, it must be allowed.
Then, all the animals were sent and chosen by God, sea sickness would not apply, the animals were tame and the seas had no turmoil. As far as Noah's time being one without technology doesn't fit as these people were so evil God had Noah build the Ark.
Gen6:19
And of every living thing of all flesh, two of every sort shalt thou bring into the ark, to keep them alive with thee; they shall be male and female.
20 Of the birds after their kind, and of the cattle after their kind, of every creeping thing of the ground after its kind, two of every sort shall come unto thee, to keep them alive.
21 And take thou unto thee of all food that is eaten, and gather it to thee; and it shall be for food for thee, and for them.
Nothing regarding God sending the animals, but that Noah was to get the animals.
So if evil abounded then, so too is it likely that science abounded.
What the F$#K has evil got to do with science?

Re: Miracle or Bust
Through science one attempts to dismiss creation, which is used to dismiss God, and that is evil.
Wrong considering many scientists are theists, just rational. Dismissing creation in no way either dismisses or proves the existance of God. It is totally irrelevant to the existance of God.
