[QUOTE]Originally posted by First of Two: [QB] Wot? You mean that famed book by whatsisname you've been using doesn't actually provide you with any defense against counter-creationist arguments? It's only good for offense? Geez. And you don't need to be an engineer (okay, maybe to figure out the bit about collapsing under its own weight) for most of it. All-Wooden ships can only be built so large. Wooden ships with some iron bits and reinforcing can be built a bit bigger, but not much. That's the reason galleons aren't enormous. Much of the rest is just math. 1) Calculate how big the ark was to have been. (You'll probably need to convert cubits to feet.) 2) Calculate how much living space 8 people can have without going nuts. Calculate the average size of all known species of land-dwelling animals which exist now or can be found as fossilized remains. (Don't forget the Baluchitherium and the Brachiosaurus) Double that (at least), and add extra for the animals for which there had to be more than two of. Add more for room enough for the animals to move a bit, and for alleys between the pens for care and feeding access. Factor in how much the average animal eats and excretes in 40 days for each animal. Compare results from 1 and 2. $20 says the answers conflict, probably before you're even halfway through step 2. And I simply must say that declaring a victory for your side because WE non-technical folks don't answer YOUR attacks to your satisfaction, and then skedaddling from a retaliatory attack and claiming YOU can't argue the details... smacks of a headlong journey into Hypocrasyland.
