Re: The ark itself
They figured the only way the ark would sink is if it flipped end over end.
They seem to have forgotten the possibility it would break its back. There's been discussion about that here within the last six months or so, but I can't be bothered to track it down.

Re: A General Question for NotSoBlind
Don't forget the supervolcano explosions.

I wish I didn't know now what I didn't know then

Anybody up for some sums?
I could probably do it but it's well past bedtime over here
Information:
  • We have a maximum of 16000 kinds on the Ark.
  • The flood was 5000 years ago.
  • There are now 1.7 million species.
Question: How many speciations per year is that?
Don't forget to show your workings
