What if the Bible was true?

If he picked up two of every animal and had merely to store them the requirments are 2 dm3/pair of animals (cubic decimeter), the Ark itself had to be atlest 60 000 m3.
This means that it had to be atlest 100 m long, 60 m wide and 10 m hight, just to barely fit all the animals. Things not included in the calculation: Movement area, storage area for food and water, walking corridors, the size of the wooden structures inside the Ark or ballast (to make the ship steady). To avoid the animals dying of stress the first day you'd have to add another (generaly) 3 dm3 (atleast) to everyone of the 30 000 000 compartments. Then you'll have a volume of 150 000 m3. If each wall in the compartment is 2 cm thick you'll have an extra 60 m3 that's merley floor and walls.
You'll need atlest one corridor 4*4 m wide to fit the largest animals at the bottom of the ship (you'll want the heaviest animals the lowest) running through the bottom of the ship, and one corridor 2*2 every 10 meter on every level of the ship. Every level should be about (generaly) 3 meters high. This gives another 5 280 m3 in volume.
The storage areas should be about half the siza of the (small) animal compartments, so around 30 000 m3.
This becomes a total volume of 185 340 m3. This gives a size of about 132 m long, 70 wide and 20 m hight.
Last but not least you'll need the ballast about 1,5 m of stone and rocks at the bottom of the ship another 13 860 m3 of volume.
Ark total volume: 199 200 m3.
Length: 132,5 m.
Wide: 70 m.
Hight: 21,5 m.
In comparison to the Titanic:
Volume: ~232 960 m3. (Note that this is much to high since Titanic wasn't evenly shaped.)
Length: 260 m.
Wide: 28 m.
Hight: 32 m. (Without cimneys)

What if the Bible was true?

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?

And how did they make the axes?

And how did they make the axes?

LOL, logic and reason will always fly in the face of blind faith.

If the bible were true, the Earth would be flat (the Bible speaks of the four corners of the Earth). Not only that the Sun would be going around the Earth and the Earth would only be about 6000 years old. So those cro mag cave paintings in France were done before the Earth was formed.

if incest is so frowned upon, then how did adam and eves kids procreate?

if there were only 2 of each animal on board the ark, then all future evolution must be based on inbreeding.

.

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.

That's what I've always thought. It makes no sense!

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.
