We don't get the same quality trolls that we used to, that's what I think about all these creationists.

That all religious people are creationists - it only depends to which degree they are creationists. Some believe that god made people out of clay with his hands while others think that he created the universe and then let it go do its thing.

They also base their worldwide on folklore rather than on evidence and science.
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

How can something match exactly when using an inexact unit of measurement?

It's bullshit, kid.

This.

A cubit is, if I remember, the measurement of the length of the tip of a finger to the elbow.

This varies from person to person.

Also, quit spamming, fuck off, and enjoy your ban.

Yawn. Fifty year old rubbish being pimped around again because nobody believed it the first time around. It's a lump of rock. Anybody who wants to prove otherwise can start digging.

The fact is geological structures that resembles the outline of a boat is very common.  Tight upward folding of rock strata, called anticline, that contain layers with different erosional resistance will at some stage of subsequent erosional process present a boat like appearance from the air.   You can easily find numerous such “Noah’s ark wrecks” where ever there had been been extensive folding of rocks during past mountain building events, and where erosion now predominates.   These are ubiquitous in the Appalachians, which saw several episodes of major mountain building before the age of dinosaurs and where erosion has since dominated.   They are also not hard to find in Wyoming or Utah, where the main event that built the Rockies ended around 50 million years ago and erosion now also rule.

Similar boat like features can also arise from other geological processes, such as salt dome formation.  Wherever there had been an sea which subsequent dried up and become covered over by sediments can present boat like appearance during subsequent erosions.

Finding a boat that is related to an impossible event is rather unlikely.
