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

[BrianSoddingBoru4]

Even if the Ark was found with an authenticated inscription reading, 'My name is Noah, and I built this boat in 1600 A.M.', it still wouldn't prove the Flood narrative.  Why?  Because it's a myth.

I'm still confused as to how all 400,000 known species of plants survived. Animals are one thing, but for us to have all the other species that are around today without evolution, at some point Noah must have put everything from a pair of Giant Redwoods, Joshua Trees, some lichen, and various species of cacti on this arc, keeping them all watered and in the proper conditions for growth. Then he had to return them all to their diverse ecosystems. I can just see him leaving the arc parked on some beach as he journeyed inland to deliver a single prickly pear cactus to the interior of California... when he got back the venus fly trap probably would have died, along with all the unfed animals. All the while mennigococcus and the malaria-carrying mosquitoes are wondering when they can be let loose.

People don't actually believe this do they? I'm assuming they are just trolls or people who are so scientifically un-curious that they haven't given it a second's thought.

That's the easy part. They floated around for 150 days before grounding on a thoroughly sterilized land. Then the herbivores had to eat to reproduce, and their offspring had to survive to reproduce, etc., until there was a viable population of all food animals to keep the predators alive. 

Meanwhile the predators ate at McDonald's until that was done. 

This explains their claims of mutations.

All the while ensuring that Drumpfuck's Big Macs weren't poisoned.

Aha, that makes so much sense. Most plants can float in the ocean for half a year and turn our just fine: I've only taken a few ecology courses at university so I forgot this fact. You should become a Christian scientist!

Did your ecology courses cover the Noachian flood and the recovery? BTW, got a source for that 1/2 year thing? Most plants would start to rot after a few weeks immersion.

I'm being sarcastic in case it isn't obvious . No, the plants are dead if they float in freaking salt water for half a year. Dead in 100 different ways.

Deadpan posts get straight replies. Tone of voice doesn't carry well on the 'Net.

Lol... the sad thing is that the internet is such a place that that wasn't obviously a joke.

the questions to ask about the Noah story should go in this order:

Could such a boat actually be built and function as described in the Bible?

If so, how did that boat not sink under the amount of rain required to flood the earth to the height where it would immerse the tallest mountains? That amount of rain would be enough to capsized even today's largest shipping barges.

The problems with the animals aren't even worth considering to me until you can show that the Ark could be structurally sound once built and floating, and that it could stay afloat in that massive amount of rain.

Not to mention the classic "where did all the rain come from? And where did it go when it receded?"
