That boat can float. The dimensions of the ark indicate that it was more of a barge than a ship. It was about 450 feet long, 75 feet wide and 45 feet high. It had about 95,700 square feet on three decks, 1,400,000 cubic feet and a gross tonnage of 13,960. It was fully large enough to carry its cargo. Its carrying capacity equaled that of 522 standard railroad stockcars, which can carry 125,000 sheep. The ark was about the size of an oil tanker and was proper seagoing dimensions for an ocean voyage. Korean naval experts did a study on the ark and concluded that the ark could float.http://www.worldwideflood.com/ark/safety_aig/safety_aig.htm

At least it would do better than the Babylonian ark, which was a cube.

Your smart enough to figure out that a barge bigger then a football field can withstand the forces of rolling seas and mighty tidal waves alot better than a cube.

What cargo? You don't specify what the cargo was. How many "kinds" were there. Given the millions of species of living things on earth today, it seems improbable that they could have evolved in such a short time from the few kinds that would have been aboard the ark.

I find it best to focus on the idea that the ark somehow had to make a pit stop in Australia to specifically drop off the Kangaroos.

So when humans evolved in Africa 200,000 years ago, how did the Aborigines get to Australia?

So why is it a thoughtcrime to believe that wallabies and kangaroos made it to Australia?

Thanks.

It says that the ark was made out of gopher wood. If you went to a lumber yard to buy some gopher wood, you probably wouldnt find it. So what was gopher wood? We dont know but many people in that time built things from the cedars of Lebanon. One thing we know about cedar and cypress trees is that once it swells up, it gets tight, doesnt leak and doesnt rot in water. So it was probably some type of cedar or cypress.Explorer Thor Heyerdahl tried to find out whether it was possible for people to go from Europe or Africa by a primitive sailing vessel to North America. He used reeds to build a ship and tried to go across. He was never able to make it, until he read Genesis and noticed that they "pitched" Noahs Ark within and without. So he took tar from the sands of Egypt, covered his boat with it and was able to sail all the way across."Make thee an ark of gopher wood, and shalt pitch it within and without with pitch." - Genesis 6:14Edited by Portillo, : No reason given.

Is that all you have to add to the discussion? Pathetic insults add nothing.

And for some reason you enjoy discussing the flood. Thats why your here.

Try to debate without using swear words.
