yeah and this raises the big question, how long do you think it took Noah and his family to build this ark, how did they put it together and with all the animals on board being of wood and all, it actually would be a bit too heavy to float
I think somewhere it said it took 100 years......
thats a lot of work......I wonder if they got holidays off.

Too heavy to float? Have you ever heard of an aircraft carrier? They weigh almost 100,000 tons!
As for Noah and the Ark; I have no idea as to the time frame in which the Ark was built. It's safe to assume that it took a great lenght of time. And the Ark's capacity for animal safe keeping on board was more than adequate. All that was on board was Noah and his family, and a few hundred (not thousands) of live stock.

The story of Noah and the ark is utterly ridiculous. Even if we assume that Noah was able gather two of every species of animal, including the millions of species of insects; that he was able to build a structure large enough to house two of every species of animal, especially large mammals such as elephants and giraffes; that he was able to gather enough provisions to feed two of every species of animal, particularly those with very limited diets such as pandas; and we further presume that between he and his family, he was able to dispose of the waste products of two of every species of animal everyday for forty days; it is still completely impossible for an entire species of animal to descend from a breeding population of two. Not to mention that if only Noah and his family were spared, in order to repopulate the earth, they would have had to commit incest.

Thank you for pointing out the obvious. I too ponder your statements. My knowledge concerning the Great Flood and Noah's Ark are limited. In so, I cannot comment further. Nonetheless, I purchased a DVD about this topic from the Discovery Channel, and have yet to recieve it. I will hopefully be able to relay conclusions presented in the DVD in an organized fashion on this forum. We will see.

They weigh almost 100,000 tons!they aint made of wood, a ship made of wood the size of the ark would require reinforcing with iron straps. Even so it would leak as hell and constent pumping would be necessary.No wodden craft/ship through history has been as big as the.
Then there is the question of gathering animals that lives in only some parts of the world, like a lot of the animals you find on the Australian continent

The problem is, everyone forgets that this was about 6000 years ago, there wasn't as many animals then because of the low amount of time to breed millions of animals. At that time there would probably have only been 10,000 animals on earth altogether which means about 5000 on the Ark, which could actually happen.
And incest would obviously had been forgiven by god for about 500 years so earth can repopulate.

And incest would obviously had been forgiven by god for about 500 years so earth can repopulatewell how nice of god allowing the population to consist of retarded morons, no wonder they strayed away form god then

The earth used to be one large super continent, even science says that, so there wouldn't have been a Australian continent, they would have lived on that one Island. Polar bears are obviously bears which ended up stranded in the north pole and had to survive in it so they adapted(By the way, adaptation and evolution are 2 different things, adaptation takes a week and the creature doesn't turn into anything else, evolution however turns the specific polar bear into a completely different creature.)
How do you think they made boats in the olden days? Using large plates of hard metal? No. They obviously had to enforce the sides of the boat to prevent leaking. As i said before, it was all planned when god told Noah, he was obviously told how to make it!
