But I know why they don't do this. It would afterward be impossible to believe the myth.
I respectfully disagree.
These guys would find some excuse for it not working.
We didn't build it exaclty as Noah did because God told Noah how to build it and he didn't tell us.
God was watching over the Ark so nothing bad would happen to it.
Gopher wood must have been a lot stronger than the wood we used. After all, God told Noah which type of wood to use.
You know the sort of excuses I mean, anything to keep the myth alive and keep all those clergymen and creation 'scientists' on the gravy train.
