Did you know that Noah's ark is a size so large that even modern day engineers cannot make a wooden boat so big?
There was one that was close to Noah's size, but even with metal reinforcements they had to constantly pump water out in order to keep it afloat!
Now that's a miracle!

Well modern engineers don't live to the ripe old age of 800+ so they don't have the time Noah did to build a giant boat out of wood... and why would they? We have evolved to metal workers now, so making a super giant floating zoo ship out of wood to go against an ungodly amount of rain might not be the wisest of construction choices.
Besides, the real miracle is how god managed to make it rain 211 inches of water per hour for 960 hours to reach the level indicated by the bible. That's 20 feet above the peak of Mt Ararat where the Ark is said to have landed. Which oddly enough IS NOT the highest peak, even though the bible indicates that it si. 364 inches per hour for 40 days and 40 nights to get 20 feet over Mt. Everest.
You are raising the entire sea level and surface diameter of the Earth upward by 16,000-30,000 feet of WATER. Where did it all go?
Besides, the real story of Noah was told before well before the whole Christian movement, but instead of being a GREAT FLOOD like the bible tells, it was just a local flood, and Noah used that to escape a bunch of debt collectors for which he owed money too.
It's amazing how Christianity rehashes old stories, puts the magical god twist on them and people 2,000 years later consider them to be historically factual. Read up on the original stories and see just how misguided you are.

The reason modern engineers can not pull off such a feat, is that they don't have any of the magic powder Noah sprinkled over the boat to hold it together by magic.

They did not devote 120 years to build it either.
Also to build a boat on dry land where it had never rained before.

Must have been, since he fit all the dinosaurs on it, but then how do you explain how it shrunk to such a tiny rock on top of mount ararat?
