That's quite an elaborate little tapestry of denial you've woven for yourself.
I wasn't being entirely serious. Although admittedly seeing religion as a behaviour altering parasite does explain a lot.

Yeah your fingers in your ears routine is growing boring now.

Neither of which you have refuted. Nor are you even trying. You have deliberately ignored the points people have made about the fact that larger ships could have been built that were not sea-worthy but only for use on gentle rivers. Hence the comments about you filtering out any information that refutes your assertions. And even if there were ships 600 feet long instead of 400 ft with relatively modern technology, it still wouldn't be large enough.

Why assume that a global population of small mammals and seed eating dinosaurs was necessarily either reduced to two (or seven) specimens each or had to die out? If a species had the means to survive for whatever reason, even if the population was decimated or even reduced to 1%, then there could still likely be enough surviving members of the species to maintain sufficient genetic diversity.
Whereas we know the physical constraints of a wooden ark. We know about seas and the flexibility of wood. We can demonstrate the minimum viable population. We know about the requirements for eating and removal of waste. We know that there are predators and prey that need to be kept separate.

I see you have your own brand of humour too.
