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

[Pat Mustard]

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?"

We know the boat can't be built. The longest wooden ship ever actually built, the Wyoming, sunk largely due to the problems caused by building a ship that length of wood.

While the Wyoming was the same length as the same length of the purported Ark, Noah's alleged boat was much more massive, and thus would have been a lot more prone to the same problems. Also the Ark would have been clinker built, as all boats were at the time, making it even less seaworthy again.
