This is a response to an earlier post today. All Biblical quotes will be from the New Revised Standard Version.
Genesis 6:15- “This is how you are to make it: the length of the ark three hundred cubits, its width fifty cubits, and its height thirty cubits.”
Converting from the passage, the Ark would be about 450 feet long. The world’s longest wooden ship, the Wyoming, was 330 feet long. How did an Early Bronze Age man and his family build such a large ship with primitive tools? https://www.uh.edu/engines/epi2492.htm
Genesis 6:19-20- “And of every living thing, of all flesh, you shall bring two of every kind into the ark, to keep them alive with you; they shall be male and female. 20 Of the birds according to their kinds, and of the animals according to their kinds, of every creeping thing of the ground according to its kind, two of every kind shall come in to you, to keep them alive.”
A 2011 estimate puts the number of land based species worldwide at approximately 6.5 million in total. How did Noah fit all these on an Ark only 450 feet long? https://www.calacademy.org/explore-science/how-many-species-on-earth
Genesis 6:21- “Also take with you every kind of food that is eaten, and store it up; and it shall serve as food for you and for them.”
On average, a lion eats approximately 20 lbs of meat per day. That means that Noah would’ve needed 40 pounds of meat to feed the pair of lions per day. In total for the 40 days where it rained alone, he’d have needed at least 1600 pounds of meat. Where did he get such a large amount? What about the eucalyptus leaves for the pair of koalas? How did Noah manage to get a supply of them in time for the Flood? https://cbs.umn.edu/research/labs/lionresearch/faq
Genesis 7:19-20- “The waters swelled so mightily on the earth that all the high mountains under the whole heaven were covered; 20 the waters swelled above the mountains, covering them fifteen cubits deep.”
Mount Ararat is one of the highest mountains in the Middle East at 16,583 feet high. According to the Bible, the waters covered it and all other mountains. At that height, altitude sickness is a real and present threat. How did Noah, his family, and the animals survive without a source of supplementary oxygen? http://teachmideast.org/articles/mountains-of-the-middle-east/ , https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/diseases/15111-altitude-sickness
