Quote:Thus, the ark could have been up to 550 feet long, 91.7 feet wide and 55 feet high. These are not unreasonable dimensions.
As a matter of fact those are fucking ridiculous dimensions for a wooden boat.
But your crowd does not care about "reasonable." You simply want any asshole to say " it can be done" and you will accept it like the gullible fools you are with no more thought at all.

Gee,I have,he could be one of those REALLY loony Catholics,like Hutton Gibson. (mad Mel's dad)-------but,probably just a Poe.

Quote:Hutton Peter Gibson (born August 26, 1918) is an American writer on Sedevacantism, a World War II veteran, the 1968 Jeopardy! grand champion and the father of 11 children, one of whom is the actor and director Mel Gibson.
Gibson is an outspoken critic, both of the post-Vatican II Roman Catholic Church and of those Traditionalist Catholics, like the Society of Saint Pius X, who reject Sedevacantism. Gibson is also a proponent of various conspiracy theories. In a 2003 interview he questioned how the Nazis could have disposed of six million bodies during the Holocaust and claimed that the September 11, 2001 attacks were perpetrated by remote control.[1] He has also been quoted as saying the Second Vatican Council was "a Masonic plot backed by the Jews".[2]

Quote:As a matter of fact those are fucking ridiculous dimensions for a wooden boat.
Yes,far too narrow; I think the high centre of gravity would cause it to roll over. (?)..
In the first century CE, Caligula built two massive pleasure boats of massive size, shallow ,but very broad of beam.(the Nemi ships) The actual dimensions are unknown
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nemi_ships
We do however,the dimensions of several massive ships built for the amazing voyages of Zheng He, in the late 14th,early 15th centuries: Note the proportions of width to length.
Quote:The dimensions of Zheng He's ships according to ancient Chinese chronicles are disputed by modern scholars (see below):
Treasure ships, used by the commander of the fleet and his deputies (Nine-masted junks, claimed by the Ming Shi to be about 420 feet long and 180 feet wide).
Horse ships, carrying tribute goods and repair material for the fleet (Eight-masted junks, about 340 feet long and 140 feet wide)
Supply ships, containing food-staple for the crew (Seven-masted junks, about 260 feet long and 115 feet wide).
Troop transports (Six-masted junks, about 220 feet long and 83 feet wide).
Fuchuan warships (Five-masted junks, about 165 feet long).
Patrol boats (Eight-oared, about 120 feet long).
Water tankers, with 1 month's supply of fresh water.
Some recent research suggests that the actual length of the biggest treasure ships may have been between 390–408 feet (119–124 m) long and 160–166 feet (49–51 m) wide,[9] while others estimate them to be 200–250 feet (61–76 m) in length.[10]

At the time, Zheng He's ships were the largest in recorded history anda stunning technical achievement,as were his voyages. There is a vast amount of information about Zheng He on line.

Challenge for you. Name a species that was on the Ark but not discovered at the moment. I suggest you pray really hard to your god and he will provide you with the answer. Only come back to this thread when you have the answer.
This is quite funny...

"Point out that to get two of each kind of animal from every part of the world may not be so unbelievable because of the size of the world at the time. The theory of Pangaea (which basically states that the continents were all connected forming one big "supercontinent") is probably true. Before Noah's flood, all of the land masses on earth were all joined to form one continent. This would eliminate the idea that animals would have to cross oceans to reach the ark."
LOL Pangaea was only 4500 years ago apparently.

Meaning instead of drifting, continents would have to be racing across the globe to take the present form.

Took me like an hour but I finally managed to be sieved into the direction which that retarded ass site wanted me to go. Just for the lulz I agreed with what it wanted me to.
So step 8...
The proof of god!
Anyone want to know what this site says is the ultimate proof of god? (and what this religious fucktard saved seems to think is so great)
I am stumped I really am:
"The Proof that God exists is that without Him you couldn't prove anything"

Noah and his wife where the only two people to survive the floods....where did their descendants come from then?
Same with Adam and Eve. They had two sons, Cain and Abel. Cain slew Abel and went off to marry. Who did he marry?
