@Setanta,
Sry, was debating whether to respond to this post after yourself and FM started going down conspiracy road.
But here a few corrections yourself and the skeptoid link/article require:
1. The first point of the article makes is about the needed material to build an ark. It incorrectly Refers to modern-day Iraq, and the resources available there instead of a pre-flood climate On an area of the earth we just do not know where the ark was built. (This says a lot already about the amount of bias and lack of readers here the person writing the article put in.)
2. It points out (as you did as well) Large wooden vessels like the Wyoming at about 300 feet was/is the maximum for ALL wooden vessels.
However, The 300 feet maximum can be extended if different planking methods were used, as well as the sails removed. (This is why ships like the Wyoming maxed out around 300 feet, whereas the ark was 450 feet, yet, like the Wyoming, still seaworthyđ)
SeeThe links I provided for more details.
3. It begins to compare the titanic, which was a massive ship doubling the Length of the ark, And rightly so being built of steel. Again, comparing apples to oranges. Terrible.
To sum it up, The ark was built just like a modern cargo vessel, a 6:1 ratio for seaworthiness. It was just that a cargo boat which did the job.
P.s. When farmer man makes reference to things like transitional fossil evidence, or so-called evidence which suggests the entire earth was not covered by water, without a single reference, donât just take his word for it. And remember, most scientists are notorious for Misinterpreting the data. Do not just embrace what tickles your ears is my advice.
