"All you have shown is that today we could n't this . You forget that Noah got the design from God ."
"So your claim is that the laws of physics have changed ? You see , it is not a matter of design . It is a matter of the physical limits of wood . Wood is flexable , and the longer the piece of wood , the more bend there is in it . Possibly you have seen a roof with wood supports that spans a large area . To do it requires huge trusses unless you add column supports . And I 'll bet there are n't any spans of over 300 ft. where only a wood truss is used . For a ship/barge the problem becomes worse . If you make the keel thick in an effort to reduce the hogging and snaking , you reduct the room available inside . Even at that , it would be impossible to eliminate all of the flexing and that flexing would spring the planks of the hull . There is no calking that has been devised that can fill an ever changing gap between planks . And , of course , recourse to a miracle is the standard creationist answer when faced with evidence that their mythology is n't historic . '' POOF ! Goddidit ! `` And so , what is the point of the whole exercise in the first place ? Why did n't God just POOF the ark into existance or just POOF anyone he did n't like out of existance ? He wanted to teach the only just man in the world a lesson ? Sure worked . First thing Noah did was to get drunk ."
