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?"
God did it.
"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great
