Hello all, new poster here, I've been reading for a while, but this thread has made me want to contribute....
Of all the great arguments laid out in front of those who wish to believe the flood story is true, there is one obvious point that I think has been missed.
It is, with current technology, let alone x thousand years ago, utterly impossible to build an ark big enough to house the animals, food and water required. Totally impossible.
Another point our Christian friends seemed to have missed is that it was not 2 of each animals bundled onto the Ark, it was 7 of the "clean" animals (Could have been 14, but to be kind, we'll go with 7) and 2 (or 4) of the "unclean." Which makes the story even more implausible.
Again, just to be clear, to build a vessel of the size required is not possible now. It just isn't possible, let alone trying to build it out of wood.... with a hammer, beard and some elbow grease.
That's without all the logistical questions of actually housing and taking care of said animals.
The fact that this story is being debated I find genuinely staggering.
