Get In The Ark Before It Is Too Late!!!

[Revelation777]

Sorry Rev, it physically can't: wooden ships less large than the ark was purported to be- with the benefit of iron braces, I might add, and sailed in tranquil weather- proved to be not seaworthy. Wood simply isn't structurally capable of that; it flexes and separates and eventually floods.

For further information, check how many of the ships substantially over three hundred feet long have the word "sunk" in their eventual fate. The ark is purported to be substantially larger than all of them, made of inferior materials, operating for a longer period of uninterrupted sailing with no hope of repair, in conditions far worse than those that sank every ship smaller than it.

The ark would not float.

Also, a Dutch Christian recently built a full size replica of the ark and had to mount it on two steel barges because it didn't have the structural integrity to float by itself.
He apparently failed to see the irony implicit in this.

According to physic students an ark built as prescribed in Genesis holding animals can float.

So, if one could hypothetically build an ark to the specifications outlined in the Bible, and actually cram two of every species on the boat, would it float or would Noah have found himself in a Titanic-like scenario? That’s what four physics graduate students at the University of Leicester wondered. As part of a special course that encourages the students to apply basic physics principles to more general questions, the team did the math and found that an ark full of animals in those dimensions could theoretically float. They recently published their research in a peer-reviewed, student-run publication, the Journal of Physics Special Topics.

No,,,I will wait at the entrance of the ark and embrace all who enter welcoming them with love and joy.

No thanks-- I don't roll that way, buddy!

It would be non-sexual in nature
