Someone has. And to get it to float at all, they needed to give the thing a steel frame built on top of another steel barge, or build the thing on top of 25 already seaworthy metal vessels. So much for confidence in the biblical description of the design, eh?
There's also the fact that ships much smaller than the ark was supposed to be, made of more complex materials, were either completely not seaworthy or, in the case of the largest seaworthy ship on record, flexed so hard it needed constant bailing out to stay afloat, and eventually did sink after far less than a year at sea.
So, instead of skipping over all the "how could this possibly be seaworthy?" and "all the evidence is against the flood narrative," ideas right to the "we found the ark stage!" I think the theists have a lot of ground work still to cover before they can accuse us of ignoring evidence.
