Would Noah’s Ark have been enough? Would it have even floated or functioned as a sea vessel?
Coming at it from a scientific and historical perspective we investigate the feasibility of such a ship and how it all translates to real world physics.

What's The LARGEST STRUCTURE In The World? 🤔 th-cam.com/video/SihcUMXu-wA/w-d-xo.html 🏗
well scientifically it would be impossible. but god can makes miracle. god can just make a portal to another dimension on the ark's gate, so that when the animals goes inside, they actually goes to bigger place. as for the food, when jesus on earth, he fed 5000+ people with just 2 piece of bread and 3 fishes.
Your mom
@@Beltesha does that mean god can make it so 1 + 1 = 4? If he can defy science with miracles, can he defy math as well?
The biggest problem with this Noah's Ark video is that it fails to address the arguments of the scientists who have shown that it can work. In particular, there is the peer-reviewed paper "Safety investigation of Noah's Ark in a seaway", and the comprehensive book "Noah's Ark: A Feasibility Study".
If you fail to address the best arguments for the ark, you're just being intellectually lazy.
The science and numbers in this video are bull crap 💩.
Duh, of course they were kept in pokéballs!
😆 very resourceful
Wait can you put animals in Pokeballs?
Yeah,now everything make sense 🤣🤣
@@Morningstar_37 first u have to fight it
Still not enough space. Even for pokeballs XD

Then the elephant sat down and crisis was averted, until someone asked if the Woodpeckers had been seen recently?
@@jujuUK68 The only animal that really enjoyed the cruise was the dung beetle.
Look at the Pacific Garbage Patch - 1.6 million square kilometers of 50-100 years of human garbage floating in the middle of the Pacific today.
In a Great Flood, hundreds of years of drift wood and vegetal matter on the bottom of the Earths Virgin forests would all float.
The natural water currents would bring all the floating matter together.
Just like today’s Pacific Garbage Patch which is half the size of India or Staten Island.
More than enough room to support entire ecosystems of large land dwelling animals.
And the animals themselves would instinctually find the dry land as the Earth flooded up.
They’d all start climbing mountains and floating matter would clump around the mountains
If the Great Flood happened, this is exactly what would happen.
And they loaded the sea animals when the ark was afloat...
According to the Bible, the ark only had one window. This means that methane from the animal waste would quickly build up inside the ark. Since torches and candles would have been the only possible light sources known in biblical times, the methane would quickly find an ignition source and cause a massive explosion.
And not to forget, that because it had only one window, you would literally get CO poisoned by hours :D
@acmenipponair that is absolutely true. Today, I learned that Ken Ham had to install a massive HVAC system at his laughable ark park just so people wouldn't die from carbon dioxide poisoning. He went to great lengths to hide this fact, but the truth couldn't help but come out. It always does.
And according to the myth, God sealed the Ark once all were aboard, that would have included the single window. Everyone would have died of asphyxiation before the rain even started falling.
Mmmm. Barbeque. 😋
A window is not the only means of ventilation.
A few years ago, Ken Ham's phony ark actually filed an insurance claim for flood damage. 🤣
His ark is attached to the ground.

O H .
Sinking would be secondary to everyone being asphyxiated due to methane from all the "shit and piss". it's an absurd story.
Shit and piss serving
@@mender722 As well as the ammonia.
And the volume of the needed ark did not count for the corridors for the 8 guys serving those millions of animals and channels for shit and piss.
Let alone going back and forth the other boats to get food.
Perhaps kenny in kentucky have figured it out.
You forgot the service paths between the animal cages. If you want to feed them you need access to every cage and that is considerable amount of empty space.
yup, and a thousand other things stored like electric toothbrushes, game consoles, external hard drives, would of been easy navigating from the Middle East, paddling by hand, to every continent dropping native species with instructions to paddle in place until the water drained (to where?) from the entire surface.And back exactly where he started! Amazing! And if you don't believe it just read the bible, he admits to MASS murder, but he loves us.
Which he mentioned they had plenty of room for...
Not to mention that you need to be able to load the animals, which contributes considerably to how big that needs to be.
the Ark had no skylights or vents for airflow.
How about animal poop management?
@@Defender78well, magic, of course
This doesn't include the amount of fresh water needed to keep all the animals alive.
Oh, and the collective heat and humidity from that many vertebrates in such close quarters within an insulated space (the wooden vessel) would probably cause a lot of heat stroke before long. Remember, humans are one of the only animals that sweat.
Also, the sheer amount of accumulated urine and scat that would be deposited every day would be too much for Noah and his family to clean up. This would result in the waste piling up, increasing the change of disease and infection for much of the ark's denizens. The urine would saturate the place with so much ammonia by the end of the voyage, that much of the animals would have died from ammonia poisoning or asphyxiation.
Even under the most generous conditions, the ark wouldn't work by far.
... and methane gas from their digestive processes
🐂💨
There are so many problems, irreconcilable problems with the flood/ark story. Supposedly, the ark was afloat for 150 days. So you have all the issues with space, food and water storage, waste removal, methane buildup, etc., but what about after the ark lands? How was food and water supplied for those gazillions of animals? The vegetation needed to feed the ruminant animals would taken AT LEAST an entire season to grow, not even taking into consideration the problem with the salinization of ALL the land. After landing, what did all the predators eat? It's just problem after problem with this entire story, start to finish.
Not only that, but how do you feed all the carnivores like lions, tigers, etc. on the ark for 150 days or more?
@@dx1450According to Sheldon's mom, they fed on the drowned bodies of heathens.
🤪
Wow! Sounds like you are trying to treat it as real. Science and religion don't mix. (Well, they do, but don't taste very good...)🤢

well the earth is flooded soooo.
lmaoo
@@peacefullolvitp7893 Australia is upside down it wasn't affected by the flood
Thanks. That explains a lot!😂😂
And so it came to pass...
Here's another problem: Many animals require a specialized environment, such as the huge tropical trees, swamps, deep caves, extremely hot or cold places, and so on. They often require specialized diets. How did Noah procure all the foods that they needed?
Moreover, after the Great Flood, all plant life on the former land surface of Earth would be obliterated forever. The soil would be totally saturated with salt from the sea water, so it would be impossible to grow anything there.
Noah would have to gather up not just all the animals, but the plants that many of them require to live. Can you imagine him transplanting giant sequoia trees aboard the Ark?
The great flood is the rainy season of five months and is found in Rev. 9.5.
Oh please tell em you are joking, the implicaations of your IQ if not are severely bad. You want to claim that a supernatural event has to have only natural events? That is just absurd, and now I see why it tends to be the people who do not think for themselves and who do not look and evidence, and who do not do reaserch are always the atheist.
deadass saw an apologist say "well maybe the water wasnt salty back then😊" the other day and it made me wanna cry lmao
Not only do Koalas feed (almost) exclusively on eucalyptus leaves, they will only eat them as they are freshly stripped from the branches that bear them.
So Noah would have needed live, growing eucalyptus trees on board the Ark. The deeper you go, the sillier this story becomes.
@@drlegendre I think what's silly is you taking a story, which if it is true, which is waht your comment here would be implying to be needed, then you're saying a God that can create enough water to flood the entire Earth can't create leaves? I'm sorry, but that logic just isn't logically making sense.
I always wondered where all the wood came from, and who let him get away with it. You'd think if you had a neighbor and he'd clear cut one square mile of forest and showed no sign of stopping, you might confront him about it. Whoever was selling him the axes must have made a fortune.
Well they might have made a fortune but wouldn't have had long to spend it

LOL, as if the animals boarded willingly. I'm not sure that Noah would even know about animals not native to his part of the world, or where he could go looking for some.

Ken Ham thinks dinosaurs were on the Ark
Apologists will respond, “Kinds!” But what’s a kind? “You know, kinds.”
You also forgot that each animal would need fresh water for the 150 days.
If you read the bible, the ark was afloat just under a year. On the first day of the tenth month the tops of the mountains became visible. Makes the problem worse. Then the plant eating animals need to have enough food to last them until the flooded ground dried enough to grow their food. Meanwhile, what do the carnivores munch on?
You’re assuming the floodwaters was saltwater, but it was most likely freshwater since the oceans are still getting saltier. Plant debris for the herbivores, fish for the carnivores.
@@CnCW453 Try leaving dead plants in water for that time.
That is not edible anymore.
And the fish would not be stranded on ground, the water would not recede fast enough. They would just swim away.
Also, not all carnivores eat fish.
@@CnCW453 you're assuming this story has any truth in it, I don't believe it because of all the flaws in it. Everything and every person except those on the ark is dead. The whole world is dead and most of the animals are thousands of miles away from home. So the Koalas die of starvation waiting for the eucalyptus to grow. The Pandas die waiting for the bamboo to grow. That's assuming they managed to walk and/or swim thousands of miles back to where they walked and/or swam from the previous year. All the animal waste went out of the one window, thousands of tons of shit and thousands of gallons of piss. No ventilation no drains or pumps to help. I'm assuming the lower deck would be mainly dead animals by week six.
@@CnCW453 so then where did all the salt water animals and fish that have been around longer than man go? Horrible argument.

I listened to this video while decorating a Christmas tree. Very fitting.
yes it is! given that the Christmas tree is a pagan tradition...
And given that they were afloat for 150 days meaning everything else would have been under water, there would have been absolutely no food for Noah and his family or for any of the animals because everything, including all vegetation, would be dead and would take some time to regrow as all the land would be nothing but mud for quite a time. So, I guess they also had at least one seed from every type of vegetation in the world in order to restart all plant life too. Now think about how much food would have had to be on that arc to keep all life alive until new food could grow. Noah and his family couldn't have built an arc big enough and gather that much food if they had 300 years to do it. Also, they would have been quite busy with animal latrine duty for near half a year. Yeah, I'd say this arc story is pretty well debunked.
@@thecaricature You think every animal would be able to survive on fish? And how would they fish since there was only one window at the top and no other openings anywhere on that ark? What would they use as bait? Think man, think.
@@thecaricature Again dude, where would they fish from since the only opening was one little window on the top and what would they use for bait? For grain, they would need at least 300,000 pounds for just the 2 elephants alone for a year. Also, how did 8 people keep up with feeding these animals and cleaning up after them all every day? They would be peeing and pooping every day in an enclosed ark so where did all the animal waste go for at least 150 days afloat? Think man, if you're capable of it.

@@angryrabbit6637 Really? A sewage system leading "up" to the one window in the whole ark? That window would be doing nothing day and night besides dumping animal waste right back onto the outside of the ark. No, there was no sewage system on that ark because there was no ark.

How exactly did he and his crew capture lions, tigers, leopards, and bears without being their next meal? Poisonous snakes, bugs and other animals without being bitten and killed? Where was the food supply kept and kept without rotting? Did they provide the veterinary care too? How did they manage to keep that many animals alive for nearly a year without losing any to illness being in such an enclosed space - surely there'd be sickness issues? Those animals being caged up for so long must have been in real bad shape when they got off the boat. What did the do with the waste? Were they able to sleep with all the noise and smells? Did the termites cause any damage they would have had to repair? I have so so so many questions about the logistics of this task.
God did it. It was a miracle. Where is your faith? If you don't believe it you are going to Hell. Stop thinking and just fall on your knees and beg forgiveness. Keep praying until you cry tears of blood.

Because archaeology has already proven various biblical events, even SUPERNATURAL stories from the Bible
Curious how big the Man at the end of the world's ark was from the epic of Gilgamesh - a story that predates the bible by 3000 years.
One problem that you forgot is ventilation. The story mentions only 1 small window, which would quickly result in everything dying from methane poisoning. Those modern arks need industrial air conditioning systems and still can’t have animals on board due to air quality, so a million or so animals could not fit.
Which makes you wonder who *really* wrote the story of Noah in the Bible aa they clearly didn't have good understanding of boats and it felt more like the work of a writer
@@queenbean7071 The story likely evolved from a historical event in Mesopotemia:
You had people there who'd make rafts and put their animals on it to float down the river and sell them there. What likely happened is that a really bad flashflood swept one of those rafts down into the gulf and pretty much stranded the people there until they hit land again, after which they likely sacrificed some of their animals to the gods as thanks.
Add a few centuries of retelling, finger waking and adding-on, and tada: the Flood of Noah.
@@queenbean7071 I think moses wrote it
@@piccolo917 that’s actually quite interesting
Are you sure the carbon dioxide wouldn't kill them before the methane?
You forgot to mention one other critical need they would have on the ark, that would require lots of room, and add tons of weight.
Fresh water.
Never mind that polar bears and penguins need to be kept close to 0 degrees C and reptiles closer to 30 to 40 degrees C. Without a giant HVAC system on board, water filtering, lighting etc. the entire Ark would have just been a dead zone in a week or two.
Add the fact when the flood finally receded and the animals left, all the plants were dead, so the grazing animals would have starved to death. Since there were no animals alive, what did the carnivores eat?
This are literally a million reasons the story doesn't add up...
@@redbaron6805
Right, so even though a salt water Shark can adapt to be in fresh water, you draw the line at Polar bears needing to be cold? Just disregarding the fact that all bears are related, which includes Panda bears. Why are skeptics like you so ignorant of literally straightforward things such as that? It's like you feel the need for a problem to scoff at, but you never actually thought of the implications of your own argument.
And you think they wouldn't have food? All animals were eating plants on the ark. Every animal that's a carnivorous now, just survived off plants. There was a lion that only ate plants a few decades ago, so it's not impossible. Noah just had to bring food onto the ark. It's really that simple. Your first arguments are really bad and easy to explain with a small amount of critical thinking, so what are the other complaints? How did Noah save the fresh water fish from dying in a salty flood?
@@johndodson8464
And they would need a way to collect and store that rainwater, right? Because the water they were floating on was not fresh. it had been mixed swamp water, ocean water, salt brine, and salt and alkali deposits from dry lake beds that exist all over the world to this day. As well as all the bloated dead and decaying bodies, of the humans and animals that died in the flood.
@@johndodson8464
They still needed to collect the water and store it. Maybe you should take five minutes and think about it before you ridicule others.
Remember it did not rain for the intire time they were adrift on the ocean nor after they had run aground on Mount Ararat.

I’d argue the invertebrates can be left out as they could survive on floating debris. Still would be a tall order
It wouldn't change much as these sheep sized animals would Outweight everything
The size depends on how specific a "kind" of animal was needed. One of each species? Genus? Family? etc
This point was quite clearly and explicitly covered in the video. It doesnt make you look clever by making this observation, but quite strongly the opposite
@@dave8323 If you take only one representative of a family on the ark, thousands of species will die out, but hey they didn't die out (they must have floated for 5 months)!

Instead of the ark God should have used some of his magic, would have been much easier....
Your comment only makes you look hateful

Just like a sheep 300 000 years ago is the same as a sheep today! Same brain structure same intelligence. It has not evolved at all. (Edit of course a sheep has evolved through domestication, i meant its brain stricture and intelligence has not evolved)

@@philwhatever3903 No I did not miss your point.
The discovery of DNA and what it means did not happen back then. I can guarantee you that. That requires knowledge and equipment that wasnt around. How do I know? Because of the impact it would have made. The world would be changed in a way we dont see in the historical records.
Also, again, did not have the equipment. Just look at what we use today to decipher DNA.
Didnt have that back then.
Now, I totally get that people were more advanced than we think back then. And that is, in my opinion, probably true.

We simply do not know the level of knowledge they had. What we do know is there has been a number of natural disasters that could have been the reason for losing some knowledge.

Regarding feeding animals, you're analyzing only the herbivores. But what about the carnivores such lions, hyena, crocodiles or bears?
It would be even worse meat weighs a lot more than grass
You'd have to keep tons upon tons of meat from spoiling within the 150 days, and you'd probably need more than that, since we don't want the carnivores to start a massacre as soon as the Arc lands.
Don’t ruin this more than it already is.
No problem. Just have extra herbivores to feed the carnivores. And remember supply to feed them while still alive. You do not need a little ship, just a floating island, with flexibility to handle the waves. And a huge well-fed crew to keep it repaired, of course.
It is also not just food during the flood. What do they eat for the year after the flood, everything has been killed by salt water.

A good way to compensate for your shitty story
Noah’s ark is so completely nonsensical I really find it incredible that anyone could possibly believe it’s true.
Wouldn't Noah and his family also had to travel to other countries to collect various animals not found in their part of the world? Australia with its unique fauna comes to mind: 2 kangaroos, 2 koalas, 2 dingos etc.
How many more "kinds" of creatures existed than in comparison to now considering extinction. People fail to take that into account. I wonder how the South American Sloth made it on time for departure.
Since there was no tech back then, I think he just took every one he knew
The flaw is also that we know today, using DNA analysis and attempts to restore endangered populations, that it takes a minimum of 50 of each animal to even attempt to restore the population, and preferably 500 to prevent genetic problems.
Using 2 of each animal would have meant the populations would have quickly died out due to inbreeding and birth defects...
Well there was only one Adam and Eve, they somehow managed to populate the earth, it’s probably fiiiiiiiinnneeeee
They had to leave some behind, like the unicorn.
The most realistic part of the story: After Noah lands he takes the clean animals he protected through the ordeal and kills most of them as sacrifices to thank God, then immediately plants a vineyard, starts brewing up some wine, and proceeds to become the first alcoholic of the new world.
LOL
And I like how they decide what animal is "clean" and what animal is just shit. 👍 This is just perfect, why not to teach people to act like if they were superior to everything (just in case it wouldn't be already like that)... The worse teacher ever.

This should be a fun comments section
This is all not considering the fact that given that the flood covered all portion of land, including Mount Everest which is 9 km tall, which means the ark was at the very least a kilometer away from the stratosphere layer (this layer starts at 10 km high), where temperatures are around -35°C (-31°F) and the pressure is relatively low, yet the ark was able to travel at that altitude for months with every animal exposed with no problem.
It never occurred to me that all plant life had to start from scratch after the flood, as there is only ever talked about animals on the ark!
@Crackerjack 2.0 good one! 🤣 Uhm, where was Noah again, when the flood hit?
to be fair, the bible is very explicit that the plant life on top of mountains was untouched by the flood. you know, the whole olive branch thing. does make me wonder why nobody thought to seek higher ground to escape though.
not one part of the fairy tale makes any sense at all. it is hard to comprehend the mentality of someone who can actually believe in such children's stories from the bronze age. it would be like starting a religion around stories of Clifford the Big Red Dog, and retelling tales of the giant dog like they were true.

I think we can correct that to 'nowhere'. Nowhere in the Bible does it talk about making sure the animals were small/young. Nowhere in the Bible does it talk about provisions of food or water. Nowhere in the Bible does it talk about putting the animals into hibernation. Nowhere in the Bible does it talk about gathering or returning animals from all over the Earth. Nowhere in the Bible does it talk about caring for the animals in the devastated post-flood world. Nowhere in the Bible does it even talk about trying to preserve the plants that would also have been destroyed by the flood.
Noah's Ark is a half-ar$3d story, full of problems, and you're fabricating solutions out of your own ar$3 to try and fill those gaps.
Nothing supports you here- not science, nor the Bible.
When specifying which animals to bring, god had to have meant each species. Because unless creationists believe in evolution, (they don't) they'd have no way of explaining how every different canine came from that single pair of red foxes, or how those 7 pairs of scarlet macaws became every other parrot, etc...
Noah caught em' all And kyogre's back was their stronghold underneath simple!
No.
In the Bible the animals come to Noah
Even after the flood they would have no food , because the flood just killed everything on the planet, that includes plant life. I guess they could do a lot of fishing. But just try feeding fish to a sheep.
😂LOL
Worse, all those carnivores are going to be eating your *herbivores* before they can breed up a sustainable population...or breed, period, for most of them.
Read. The. Text.
The fish would also be dead from the massive mixture of fresh and salt water.
They knew the flood was almost over because Noah sent out a dove and it brought him back an olive leaf.
So there were plants when they came off the boat according to the Bible.
And then you have to have enough food and fresh water for this menagerie to last 40 days. Don't forget you'd have to have a massive staff to supply the said food and water and clean up after. Would be a cast of hundreds and they would need space, food and water. I'd imagine it would take thousands of years to actually collect all these creatures from various parts of the world in the first place. Actually building the thing would be the least of Noah's worries.
You do not need to store 40 days of food and water, you need to store 200! Because the rain lasted 40 days, the water lasted another 160.
If this was Monty Python, the Ark would have been built of witches.
And the witches would turn Noah into a newt.
@@johnsterling6659 But he got better
The aquatic animals deserve a bit more of a closer look, because it doesn't end well for them if we assume they don't need to come on to the ark because they can live in water. Assuming the flood is caused by rain, that means fresh water, which is bad news for basically every kind of aquatic animal out there. The fresh water will dilute the salt water of the oceans, meaning all marine animals will die. But this water will still be too salty for freshwater animals, so they'll die too. In short, if they didn't include aquatic animals on the ark, there would be none left alive after the flood ends.
Brackish dwelling species (lower salinity than a marine environment, but still saline) would be fine

One thing that needs to be added to the equation: humans eat animals. So once off the Ark, are Noah and the rest going to be vegetarians for many decades to allow the animal numbers to rise to the point where harvesting them for food is permitted without decimating their ability to survive?
If there is enough rain to flood the Earth, do the oceans become fresh water or is there still enough salt in them to keep everything salty enough for marine life to live?
@@thecaricatureYeah, enough salt to support life in an additional 7m in height intruduced over several centuries. Not another 26 *thousand* feet in 40 *days* .

People sometimes forget about the birds. I've heard creationist argue that the birds would be spared because they can fly but most birds can not remain on the wing for months at a time. Chickens, turkeys, quails... never wouldve made it.

well, I've heard creationist explain kangaroos and other unique wildlife making it all the way to Australia by, and I swear to you that this really happened, by volcanic explosion.

Damn, so you would need more than an entire cargo ship of food per day.
Regardless of the size of the ark, the elephants alone would need approximately 4,000 gallons of water each, if they're given the minimum amount required. Add the amount of food and water for all of the animals and you see the problem with that. Then you factor in dilemma of food after the waters receed, because the vegetation is dead, or buried under sediment, and there's no food for the herbivores. And the the carnivores can't hunt their usual prey until the herds repopulate to sustainable numbers, which would take several years. There's also the many stories from other religions about other people building boats and saving all the animals hundreds, or thousands of years before, as well as the diversity of wildlife, which would require traveling to every continent to save every species. And don't forget the virtually impossible task of removing animals like elephants, hippos, and rhinoceros from their herds without fierce retaliation!

Even if the rain was fresh water, the sudden change in salinity will kill almost everything aquatic. So Noah has to bring them on board along with f*cking huge tanks of water to live in.
If the rain was salty, would have corroded the boat as well.
If the water was enough to cover "even the tallest mountains", that means the ark would be in such a high altitude that they would lack oxygen and the temperature would be freezing. That also means the oceanic pressure and salinity would change dramatically, which would kill all sea animals. Nothing makes sense.
Regardless of how fresh the rainwater is, if the earth was covered in it, the oceans' and seas' salty water would mix with all the water covering land, making the final mix too salty for freshwater aquatic creatures, and too diluted for saltwater life. In short, every fish would die.

Ah, no. Firstly, the rising water levels would push the atmosphere up, and as the huge amount of water being dumped into the oceans (from, you know, god's magic tap) would result in a massive release of energy, that would make the waters boil, apparently, so being too hot, and being surrounded by cooked fish and whales would be more the order of the day.
If Noah was going to collect all the animals he would have to have traveled over 8,000 miles on foot to secure and transport animals from several continents. Across desserts, oceans, frozen artic and mountains and desserts. At 600 years old. Also he had to find out what animals were male and female. Flies, ants, ticks, snakes etc.

As an Australian I can debunk the whole Noah story with one idea. A bunch of dudes travelling around to the other side of the world to collect all of our Spiders and Snakes and sticking them on a boat. And kept them alive, without getting bitten & dying themselves, long enough to put them all back afterwards. And getting all of the kangaroos and other marsupials back and not letting any Hoofed animal in here. Biggest pile of crap is the whole Noah myth. But if a middle eastern dude can collect 17 different species of Funnel Web Spider and a few Taipans, and live to gather everything else, well I’d be very impressed.

IMO the Ark is the constellation Argo Navis. The same inspiration for Jason and the Argonauts. At one time it appeared to skim upon the Milky Way, and was either being tempted into the rocks by sirens or coming aground after rains receded. Not unexpected, the constellation Columba (Dove) is next to Argo Navis. The Milky Way seems to be used in myth as a river, or fire, bridge or ladder. Describing the Bible as “Divinely Inspired”, would more accurately be described as “Heavenly Inspired”.

One other important point is that there’s not enough water to flood the earth to that depth so the story is a nonstarter.
How much fresh drinking water would they have also needed I wonder?
Even if one melts all the water in Greenland and the Antarctic, that only raises sea levels to 126th the height of Everest (although there are 3 mountains that could be considered the tallest on Earth).
Was the water fresh? That would have killed off most marine life. Or was the water saline? That would have killed off most fresh water species.
Even that point is irrelevant, as the amount of water needed, being dumped that quickly, would result in a tremendous release of energy, enough to boil seas, so anything that lived near the surface, and/or needed to breath air (all the whale species, orcas, dolphins, porpoises, turtles, etc) would also have to be accommodated on the Ark.

God is not about efficiency he is about free will. He gave us the ability to act our own but also gave laws as well. When mankind chose not to follow the laws he flooded the earth
You would not actually have to feed the animals everyday; you would only need to feed them enough to keep them alive and healthy enough to recover once back on land.
feed it as little as you want, it either dies or its still too much food.
Back on the land that is devoid of plant life to sustain animal life after the flood receded? What about the changes in the climate and the habitats the animals were adapted to? What about the long journeys each animal would have had to take back to its original habitat without any sustenance?
These and so many other concerns make it clear that the flood story is simply physically impossible.
Also, for the atmosphere to hold enough water to flood the Earth up to the height of Everest, it would need to be 295km high, and that's if it had sea-level density all the way up, was at a constant 30°C, and was fully saturated with moisture throughout.
Some people would argue that the earth was very different back then. Mountains as high as Everest didn't exist, and were actually created by the flood waters - the weight of the water pushing down on soft parts of the land pushed the mountains up into existence as they are now. Don't ask, I don't know how it works either. It's just an argument that I've heard. Go figure!
The worst It would face is the "rainfall". To cover the Earth to a depth just above Everest in 40 days, rain would have to fall at a rate around 15 times the average bath tap flow rate on every single point of the Earths surface.
Doesn't really matter. An Omnipotent God like in the story could do that with ease. If you're trying to disprove something then you've gotta do better than that.
would absolutely leave nothing left of the planet. definately all life would be gone
@@Wifgargfhaurh It works out at 642 million Niagaras - all over the earth. Nothing would survive. and nothing to eat for more than a yeear.
@@Wifgargfhaurh ah yes, the God of the Gaps.
@@Wifgargfhaurh Right ... he's so omnipotent that he allows the devil to hang out and mess with everyone ... FOR SOME REASON ... instead of just blinking him out of existence - not to mention all the diseases and natural disasters that kill thousands of his children every year.
I don't know why Christians play the Omnipotent/Omniscient card; it opens a Pandora's box of contradictions and absolutely ludicrous claims.
Science: Debunks the Bible
Christians: God works in mysterious ways
Aye hear me out but…God does indeed work in mysterious ways
@@simeyonwest1092 prove it or shut it
@@anubisfox5765 Can you disprove it?
@@simeyonwest1092 ya easily lol almost all of the bible is utter easily proven nonsense. If the bible is nonsense then the god of it must be by simple logic. If god exist it would be as simple as showing himself to prove it and end all the violence but he doesnt because he isnt there
@@anubisfox5765 Hey yo! Did you know that Jesus fed thousands of people with a few bread and fish without exceeding ten? Did you also know that God save His child using a Crow? Do you even know what that means?
