ok, one we haven't done in a while, I thought I would go through andlist everything that seems off and unreasonable or illogical
ok first off the ark itself and the specifications of loading it
--the ark was to be built as such; 450 feet long, 75 feet wide and 45 feet high, which would be a volume of 2, 531, 250 ft, built all out of wood and as far as we know, done by himself...a 600 yr old man, or least with the help of his two sons who would have been 100 byt this point. (not to mention the triple decks, which would include more wood and pitch to seal it with)
--also he was to store two of every kind of animal, at least in chapter 6, and store food of every kind of all over the world since the world was going to be destroyed, chapter 7 it gets expanded to 2 of every unclean animal and 7 of every clean animal, and 7 of every kind of bird.........that is a lot to be carrying around and a lot of weight.....also add the fact you had about 10 people on board, noah, his sons and all the wives of each
--you have the fact that it rained for 40 days and 40 nights all over the earth, and then the water stayed for a 150 days....so the whole thing took 6 months
ok there are the facts.......now not to mention the improbablity of something liek the ark ever being made since nothing of its proportions was seen until almost 6000 years later, or the amount of animals on board this ark would not have been able to fit inside cponsidering how many animal kinds we had about 6000 years ago. We have the food supply, which I hardly see lasting for 6 months even to stay edible, or to sustain all that were on the ark. Also, when it was all over raining, Noah started sending out a dove to find proof of land, which was a fig leaf. Now how a fig tree lasted underwater for 6 months and did not die is beyond me. Also you have to have food, which if they had any it would be extremely low and all the plant life would not have survived being drowned for 6 months to give food. Also the water that had been so much extra is missing, we never found it.
