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.
Diiiid you read the paper, or did you stop at the news article that seemed to confirm what you want to believe? 
Because I actually read the paper. So... 
First of all, here's the conclusion:
Quote:Therefore, regardless of which
figure is correct, we believe the ark to be of
sufficient buoyancy. Of course,
this does not
conclude whether logistically Noah’s ark was
possible,
it remains to be concluded if the size
of the boat is sufficient to house all the
animals
.
So it's not as unequivocally on your side as you present, Rev. Second of all, there's a vast difference between "sufficiently buoyant," and "seaworthy." The only conclusion presented in this paper is that the ark would not immediately sink upon being introduced to the water, and that's no great feat. Those lesser ships that all sank didn't do that either. But they did flex horribly, take on water perpetually, and require intensive repairs at that. The Wyoming, for example, was smaller than the ark and, due to the flexing of wood that was braced against that with iron, needed to be constantly pumped out while at sea.
The ark wouldn't have sunk right away. But it would have sunk very quickly when introduced to open water even in tranquil conditions, unless eight people could bail out a ship of that size- without drowning any of the animals- pretty much constantly. And that's even discounting capsizing, damage from the flood, and... you know, the wood flexing apart.

I do not know how to answer that but have faith God can.

Non-sexual hugs on the orgy ark!? I don't think so, gtfo!

In short, read and understand your 'evidence' before you post it Rev.
'The more I learn about people the more I like my dog'- Mark Twain
'You can have all the faith you want in spirits, and the afterlife, and heaven and hell, but when it comes to this world, don't be an idiot. Cause you can tell me you put your faith in God to put you through the day, but when it comes time to cross the road, I know you look both ways.' - Dr House
“Young earth creationism is essentially the position that all of modern science, 90% of living scientists and 98% of living biologists, all major university biology departments, every major science journal, the American Academy of Sciences, and every major science organization in the world, are all wrong regarding the origins and development of life….but one particular tribe of uneducated, bronze aged, goat herders got it exactly right.” - Chuck Easttom
"If my good friend Doctor Gasparri speaks badly of my mother, he can expect to get punched.....You cannot provoke. You cannot insult the faith of others. You cannot make fun of the faith of others. There is a limit." - Pope Francis on freedom of speech

In other words, you will believe in god regardless of what demonstrably better means of truth finder says. Yet you flatter your moronic self by pretending to yourself your belief in god should somehow be inspirational to those of us who care something about whether something is actually true.

If he cared about evidence, he wouldn't have been Christian.
