RE: Noah's Ark (!) Shows How Seaworthy It Is In A Storm

No evidence of a global flood
A physically impossible boat
A complete misunderstanding of how plants and animals work (I’d love to see how incredibly territorial animals like wolves, bears, and hunting cats managed to co-exist on a boat, let alone flora that exists in different climates)
A complete ignorance of genetics (Do we need to go through minimum population viability again?)
Yeah, man, the story is totally plausible.

If you make a 1/10 scale model of the ark out of exactly the same material, the model ark will proportionally be ten cubed, or 1000 times stronger than the real arc.
Excuse the brain fart. An exact model made of the same material 1/10th the size of the real thing will be 10 times stronger, not 1000 times stronger.
Nonetheless the principle remains. A small seaworthiness tank model may illuminate how the real thing behaves hydrodynamically, provided the waves are also proportionally scaled, and the test model is still large enough for water viscosity and surface tension not to become factors.
A small tank model is completely worthless for exploring the structural response of the real ship in the face of real-life marine stresses.

Gorilla glue is a great adhesive for a model. Not so much for building a giant wooden ship.

Plus according to the story there were only two gorillas and they needed them both.
Not to mention the fuckers stole the story from the Sumerians.
http://www.sparknotes.com/lit/gilgamesh/section9.rhtml
Quote:Ea had been sworn to secrecy, but he cleverly betrayed the gods’ plans to Utnapishtim. Speaking to the walls of his house, he described the plans, while Utnapishtim heard everything on the other side of the walls. Ea warned him that the gods would be sending a terrible flood. He told him to build a boat of immense dimensions, ten dozen cubits in height (approximately 180 feet) with six decks and one acre of floor space, and load it up with the seed of each living thing and with his family and possessions.
Truth be told, it is no sillier than the Noah bullshit story. And the fact that an agricultural society's 'god' told them to bring seeds makes more sense than the silly jew tale.

I know. All parts of the Bible are so surpassingly silly it overtaxes even the most incisively mind to name without hesitation which part is actually discernibly more silly than all the other.

GC
Let me guess, it is a supernatural god wood. It transforms on demand to being harder than steel, tougher than titanium, stronger than adamant
Maybe it is the wood grown from aroused gophers?

Yeah but it's funnier imagining him going round collecting animal seed.

Actually not because he spared them since in Numbers 13:33, we learn that after the Exodus the Israelites "saw the giants, the sons of Anak, which come of the giants."
I mean imagine that fucker YHVH that supposedly kills everybody and everything on Earth because of those half breeds only to leave them alive and well.
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
