About that Boat - Noah's Ark

I started a thread long ago about the incredible inconsistency in creationist depictions of the flood.
EvC Forum: The Amazing Violent/Non-Violent Flood
One minute it is violent enough to rearrange the geology of the entire world and the next it is so gentle that a wooden boat with no steering,larger than any ever built and containing the largest and most complex zoo ever assembled floated around serenly for a year with no difficulty.Randy

Interestingly, British civil and mechanical engineer Isambard Kingdom Brunel built a steamship (the Great Britain) in 1843 that had almost the same proportions as the Ark, although it was smaller. This was regarded as a remarkable feat of Victorian and maritime engineering. The Great Britain was the first large vessel to be propelled by a screw propeller.

Making it seems like this was an similar to the wooden ark. However the Great Britain was an iron ship.
http://www.chm.bris.ac.uk/enzyme/mgms/dinner.html Don't you think that was just a bit deceptive? In any case it has no bearing on the seaworthyness of the wooden ark. It would have hogged and leaked like a sieve pitch or no pitch.Randy

Don't forget to load the woodworm, woodpeckers, Death Watch Beetles, dry rot, wet rot.....Bon Voyage!!!

The Bible says that all with the breath of life in their nostrils died. Some YECs use this to excuse invertebrates that don't breathe through nostrils. However, it does mean that Amphibians should be on board as well as Pinnipeds(seals, sea lions, walrus) and manatee. Whether to count whales and dolphins, I don't know. I think pinnipeds and manatee are a pretty big problem though. How did they get to and from the ark? One might ask the same about penguins I suppose but they probably walk long distances better than elephant seals or manatee.Randy

I did say to and from. I have a thread on that below but the YEC haven't done much with it so far.http://EvC Forum: Biogeography falsifies the worldwide flood. -->EvC Forum: Biogeography falsifies the worldwide flood.Randy
