Another strawman argument I am quite aware that the Tessarakonteres was a warship rather than a cargo vessel or whatever I am also quite aware that it was a catapult armed catamaran why do you imagine I d have a fit Less of the histrionics please But it was a warship that apparently couldn t fight and both Plutarch and Casson say that it was built for display As for those who say otherwise you didn t cite them until now But trireme actually conveys more information than fighting ship in addition to not conveying a misleading impression and is therefore preferable Also I suggest you drop the ongoing insinuation of OR regarding the Chinese treasure ships given the fact that your Christian apologists generally reply paragraph contains references which are not Christian and apparently don t mention Noah s Ark at all And note that the TalkOrigins article IS in fact a response to creationist claims and therefore has more direct relevance than those Or do you intend to remove all references that don t mention the Ark As it stands you seem to be using Christian apologists generally reply as an excuse to shut out all qualification of those claims while nevertheless supporting them yourself with non Christian sources and apparent declarations of fact please desist from this double standard
