Science And The Bible - Introduction

[allan175]

I've heard this sort of statement before (obviously the figures are available in the bible), but ould it actually be possible to build something the size of the Titanic out of wood? I expect there would be a lot of stresses & strains that would make wood impractical.

No. The ark design was a very simple one, really just being a floating chest. This provided more stability and room than a ship like the Titantic of an equal size.

It doesn't matter how simple a design it was, even a floating chest of that size would be subject to enormous stresses, and wood is just not up to the task.
