I'm going to the Life-size Noah’s Ark in a couple of weeks. I'll let you know.

Thanks for the postThis topic has been thoroughly dealt with by both answersingenesis and creation.com.
In fact there is a technically analysis of the Arks sea keeping qualities by Christ Korean naval archiectec.

Is the flood of Genesis story literal? I have always thought that it was because Jesus referred to the days of Noah and AIG and YECs do a good job of presenting it as literal, what do y’all think? Are Noah’s ark and flood literal scientific facts? « SMR blog
- A large percentage of the world’s fauna, including, for example, dodos, sloths, penguins, kangaroos, koalas and many other species, are not native to the Middle East (assuming that was the location of Noah’s ark). How did they travel there to board the ark?
- Island species are particularly vulnerable to predators — when predators have been introduced to an island, they often drive indigenous species to extinction (as has happened in Australia, Hawaii, the Galapagos and numerous other islands). Thus such species would not have been able to survive in the Middle East, away from their naturally protected habitats.
- The total mass of on-board animals would have been some 400,000 kg, if only yearlings were taken, or some 5 million kg, if adults were taken. Either figure is far more than could be accommodated in the ark as described in the Bible and reconstructed in Kentucky.
- The figures in the previous item do not include food and water for a one-year sojourn, which would multiply the weight by at least 10 times if not more. Further, many animals require special diets — silkworms require mulberry leaves, Pandas require bamboo, and snakes, for example, require fresh food. How could fresh food be provided for a full year?
- How could large numbers of animals be protected from the many on-board predators, such as lions and tigers?
What does it explain?It is literal.
It is also the only event which explain what we see in the world today.
you mean the type that is actually scienceUnless you believe in an old earth evolutionary type of science..

everythingWhat does it explain?
Science? Naa,, I have seen the research..you mean the type that is actually science
you just explained nothing.everything
What research? the geological? the genetic? the engineering? the anthropological? the historic?Science? Naa,, I have seen the research..

The guy who wrote the technical analysis of the ark is an engineer? a specialist in maritime construction?
Science is not science because the practitioners believe something strange or different from other practitioners.you mean the type that is actually science
5. Well the easy answer to five is that God stopped their predatory ways for the year. But ICR has many valid and researched theories on the why's. We will never have a definitive answer because there is no record of how they co-existed for a year.Is the flood of Genesis story literal?

Thanks for the response but those are not my objections, I listed a link where I got that from. I’m not advocating literal or non literal I’m trying to hear from both sides5. Well the easy answer to five is that God stopped their predatory ways for the year. But ICR has many valid and researched theories on the why's. We will never have a definitive answer because there is no record of how they co-existed for a year.
1. they do not exist in the middle east now. but hey were all created in teh middle east so it is easy to say they stayed there. also the earth pre-flood was one land mass.
2. YOu forget that the pre flood world was one land mass and all animals existed in that one land (science calls it pangaia) And that the earth was vastly different pre flood than post flood.
3. YOu are making the erroneous assumption that two of each uniques species were taken aboard. That is not the case. What was boarded was two of each kind (two snake kind, two elephant kind, two dog kind, etc.) ICR also has an excellent paper discussing this. We know that one species can change to many other species through the work of Brother Gregor Mendel.
4. Once again this is most likely not the case. We see the traits of hibernation and estivation in so many many animals. So this would vastly reduce the need for food. Also special diets need not be a problem. Many animals can switch diets when their natural foods disappear. And we simply do not know what animals ate pre flood. They were all created vegetarians. Carnivore habits did not occur until some time after the fall.
Also the earth itself bears witness to enormouc catastrophism which is answered by the Noahic flood.
Thank you for the information.It was a group of naval architects.Safety investigation of Noah's Ark in a seaway
Creation or evolution? It makes a big difference! Over 10,000 trustworthy articles. Evidence for biblical creation.creation.com
you mean like the quantity and quality of research and evidence there is for evolution.Science is not science because the practitioners believe something strange or different from other practitioners.
What counts is the quality of there research, there evidence and how they explain there research findings.
Yes, they have found whale bones in high mountain areas. Even the dinosaurs could have been made extinct from it. They may have been the dragons the bible talks about.Is the flood of Genesis story literal?

Saying we can never know is not actually an answer.5. Well the easy answer to five is that God stopped their predatory ways for the year. But ICR has many valid and researched theories on the why's. We will never have a definitive answer because there is no record of how they co-existed for a year.
Evidence that it was landmass and then can you explain just how a flood would reshape and move continents?1. they do not exist in the middle east now. but hey were all created in teh middle east so it is easy to say they stayed there. also the earth pre-flood was one land mass.
Pangea was a supercontinent that existed during the late Paleozoic and early Mesozoic eras 335 million years ago. It was formed when the previous continents Gondwana, Euramerica and Siberia came together.2. YOu forget that the pre flood world was one land mass and all animals existed in that one land (science calls it pangaia) And that the earth was vastly different pre flood than post flood.
Exactly what is a "kind"3. YOu are making the erroneous assumption that two of each uniques species were taken aboard. That is not the case. What was boarded was two of each kind (two snake kind, two elephant kind, two dog kind, etc.) ICR also has an excellent paper discussing this. We know that one species can change to many other species through the work of Brother Gregor Mendel.
Habits?4. Once again this is most likely not the case. We see the traits of hibernation and estivation in so many many animals. So this would vastly reduce the need for food. Also special diets need not be a problem. Many animals can switch diets when their natural foods disappear. And we simply do not know what animals ate pre flood. They were all created vegetarians. Carnivore habits did not occur until some time after the fall.
how does the flood produce the KT boundary? (the worldwide iridium geological layer from the end of the Cretaceous period)Also the earth itself bears witness to enormouc catastrophism which is answered by the Noahic flood.
How old are these bones?Yes, they have found whale bones in high mountain areas. [
I think there are various sightings of whale bones but here is one: Paleontologists discover a whale fossil on top of a mountainHow old are these bones?
