As for Noah's ark, its dimensions were:
A cubit can be from 16" up to 24", but more usually 18". My cubit, elbow to tip of middle finger, is 19.5". Going with 18", which is 1.5 feet, or 0.4572 meters, would make the Ark be
Length: 300 cubits * 0.4572 m/cubit = 137 meters approx
Height: 30 cubits * 0.4572 m/cubit = 14 meters approx
Width: 50 cubits * 0.4572 m/cubit = 23 meters approx
There are three levels, as per Genesis 6:16, each of them having 137m*23m = 3200 m^2 approx area and the total volume is 137m*14m*23m = about 44,000 cubic meters.
Inferred from Genesis 7:20, the Ark was submersed halfway, making it disperse 22,000 cubic meters of water.

And this is the fashion which thou shalt make it of: The length of the ark shall be three hundred cubits, the breadth of it fifty cubits, and the height of it thirty cubits.

Wow, he must have been very good at stashing animals since even my smallest possible Ark was 60 000 m3. ^^
And what the heck happend to all plants and trees? Mustn't he have had some of those too?

The start of Creation was about 13 billion years ago (or thereabouts). That is if you call the Big Bang creation.
s**t... it must have been very lonely the first 10 billion years or so when they didn't even have a planet to live on.

not nearly enough.
Earth Diameter: 12756 km.
Mont Everest: 8, 848 km.
((4π(12756+8,848)^3/3) - (((4π(12756)^3/3) = 18 104 444 580 km3. = 18 104 444 580 000 000 l water.
Thats a lot.
i wonder if it was salt or fresh...

Creationist have in full honesty told me about the "gopher" wood, which has magical properties (being harder than steel and never rusting), and which was used for making the arch. When asked how the hell they were able to cut them down and make them into a ship, they never answered me. Axes made of gopher wood perhaps?
obviously they use mithril saws

So, the law concerning incest was given 2.5 millenia after Adam and Eve as well as about 850 years after the Flood. The law is pertinent to genetic mutations and dominant genes of the parents being expressed in the offspring, however it may be that the number of harmful mutations in the genome were minimal at the start of creation, if not nil to begin with by design.
I'm afraid I can't say a thing about this without sounding like a perv to some, but I ask, is there any dramatization of this somewhere?

easy, noah fished up all the dead dinosaurs from the ocean. food for everyone.
pesky dinosaurs. devil's spawn. they got what they had coming to them! besides, w the diversity that has been, the poor pre-flood people couldnt even squeeze themselves out of the cave, without climbing over dinosaurs and wooly rhinos and whatnot

And who save the animals in Australia? How Noah transported those in a few weeks to anywhere in Middle East? Or how they came?
And what about fishes: The most fishes survive either in salty seawater or in freshwater. If the oceans would be flooded with some km of rain water (which is fresh water) than the result would be a diluted seawater in which neither form of fish could survive.

I kinda doubt it. Sorry Greenblue, there are no videos that I know of and I'm not going to search for them. In Genesis there are accounts of close relatives marrying though, such as:
Abraham was married to his half sister Sarah.
Isaac was married to Rebekkah, his first cousin.
Jacob was married to Rachel and Leah, who were also first cousins.
That was up to 2000 years after Adam.
But 2500 years after Adam were the laws against incest given.

We also would need to rewrite all math-books. Because: "He made the Sea of cast metal, circular in shape, measuring ten cubits from rim to rim and five cubits high. It took a line of thirty cubits to measure round it." (Kings, 7, 23). Ergo the Bible tells us that

not necesarily rewrite, but offer an alternative to "conservative scientific maths", a equally relevant biblical math, lets call it "convenient solutions", along w "intelligent design"
Or just warning statement in the textbooks in school:
