you realize of course that the dimensions are actually in the Wholly Babble don't you? Or are you one of those all too common xians who never actually read the hard parts? 300 cubits long by 50 wide by 30 height. A cubit is the length of a forearm from the tip of the middle finger to the point of the elbow, or about 18". You seem like a real smart guy, probably even finished high school or something? You can work it out i'm sure.

Do you think nobody has ever done the math before? Xians have been configuring the volume of the ark and trying (unsuccessfully) to cram 2 of every animal as long as they've been counting the numbers of angels dancing on the heads of pins, and other totally useless christian delusions.

It was about 450 feet long, 75 feet wide, and 45 feet high. It had a floor area of around 100,000 square feet and a volume of around 1.5 million cubic meters, which is roughly equivalent to 569 railway stock wagons.
I have listed two sites below. One is Creationist and one isn't. I believe the ark was real and what the Bible says is what happened, but it is also important to know there are problems with Creationist models.

Genesis 6:13-16 "So God said to Noah, "I am going to put an end to all people, for the earth is filled with violence because of them. I am surely going to destroy both them and the earth. So make yourself an ark of cypress [c] wood; make rooms in it and coat it with pitch inside and out. This is how you are to build it: The ark is to be 450 feet long, 75 feet wide and 45 feet high. Make a roof for it and finish the ark to within 18 inches of the top. Put a door in the side of the ark and make lower, middle and upper decks." (New International Version) biblegateway.com

What would building the ark involve? Jehovah directed Noah to construct a huge watertight, three-story, wooden chest, 437 feet long by 73 feet wide by 44 feet high [about 133 meters by 22 meters by 13 meters]. (Genesis 6:15, 16) Such a vessel would have had a capacity similar to that of various present-day cargo vessels.
The ark had about (1,400,000 cu ft) of usable space—ample for the passenger list.
The ark had a carrying capacity equal to that of 10 freight trains of about 25 American boxcars each!

"Noah's Ark was taller than a 3-story building and had a deck area the size of 36 lawn tennis courts. Its length was 300 cubits (450 feet, or 135 meters); its width was 50 cubits (75 feet, or 22.5 meters); it had three stories and its height was 30 cubits (45 feet, or 13.5 meters)."

The Bible tell us how big it was -- 300 cubits long by 50 cubits wide by 30 cubits tall. 300 cubits is about 450 feet.

Not big enough for the dinosaurs. If God could just create animals, why did he need an ark?

I don't know but it must have been pretty darn big. I mean, to fit all of those different types of animals on it. How many different species are there in our world? How did they get to Australia? Moses didn't go to Australia. How did the fossils and animals get there had they been washed away? Strange huh?

The US Navy once built a ship to the exact measurements.
