Summations Only

18 kg per square foot per minute for 40 days and 40 nights is above and beyond the call of duty for anything that could be given the name "storm".

According to mfaber that cold water would have been 1800K.

Was the balsa wood carried over from South America by the llamas Noah saved?

We know more then 7 inches of rain fell on the ark every minute for 40 days and 40 nights. That's as much rain as a hurricane drops in two hours. Why shouldn't we necessarily suppose stormy?

That's average. You'd better hope its everywhere, because if the water then has to flow from the areas of high rain fall to low rain fall the torrents will be rushing along at hundreds of miles per hour. What do you imagine will happen when two such currents meet? How do you imagine your ark-cum-flotsam would respond? Would "wee" be the exclamation that first comes to mind?How does one keep that much water out of their wicker-works boat? How does one Keep the straw, grain and meal dry? How does one avoid trench foot?The Bay of Fundy fills 56 feet in six hours or so. That's 1.9 inches a minute. One does not want to be in the way.

All ways available to him using only wood would have resulted in the ark breaking up. To assume he built the ark in a way that wouldn't break-up would assume he built it out of iron. Why not? We don't know what gopher wood is. Why not assume it was a type of patterned iron, like damask, which imitates wood grain? Find the lost iron works of Gopher and you've proven Noah's ark.It's not a coincidence that evidence rhymes with schmevidence, Peg.Edited by lyx2no, : Spelling of schmevidence. Ya' gots to get it right or folks'll think you're a twerp.

Your suggestion of a rudderless, three tier crate wouldn't relieve the problem of breakup but increase it. And with only a 5:3 section it would roll like a log without adding yet again its own weight in ballast. I do suppose if all the land mass was in one place the extra gravity would allow the water to pile. I can see this cutting the 11 km down to 10.990 km. [sarcasm]That solves everything.[/sarcasm] Do you think you could put a few paragraphs of argument and explanation together instead of disingenuous one liners? Very often the points you're trying to make with your snappy comments are delusional and, consequently, not as apparent to the rest of us as they are to you.

If they were saying Noah built an ark 30 cubits by 5 cubits by 3 cubits and got his asses, goats and pigs to high ground we'd not be having this discussion?
