C'mon now, it didn't work like that. Haven't you ever gone into a tiny house that seemed much larger on the inside? It's all curtains and lighting, but it could easily account for another 8-10 mil. ft^3.
Like in that movie, Loaded Weapon, where Charlie Sheen had that itty bitty beach trailer, that was a marble palace on the inside. If Charlie Sheen can do it, don't you think God can? Be real.

Unfortunately, that does not convince a young Earth creationist or, it seems, Magus because that would contradict the dating--and creating myths--of the OT.

You have grant our amusement at the thought of little tiny wee beasties floating about on bits of twig . . . "no, save yourself!"

Hey! Come on! What do you expect when the whole breaking up of the continents, the rising of the mountains by several thousand meters and an ice age are all recorded in the small sentence "In the days of Peleg when the earth was divided"? Compared to this, dinosaurs are so insignificant that I'm not surprised none of them is mentioned in Genesis.

I believe the baby animal issues has been addressed, unless you'd like to plug your ears and put on blinders while I repeat it again? And the Ark isn't that big. It's rather small as far as boats go.

I mean...come on....I'm pretty damn sure i'm EXACLTY aware of the volume of the Ark, if I came up with a definitive figure of .4%. Please. Hell, I even gave you credit and counted the stupid wooden piece of fiction as a rectangular shape without a rounded out hull, and no volume taken up from different decks, walls, etc.

You get loads of bonus credit and it's still .4%.

And....more amusing....is an elephant clean or unclean? If it's clean we need to account for 7 elephants. That would come to 1.4% volume for 7 strapped down, malnourished, and dehydrated elephants.

I find it amazing that when jesus says straightforward things like "give all your money away" or "anytime someone asks you for something, give it to him" christians claim that it wasn't meant to be taken literally because they don't want to do those things. But stories that are clearly myths, like the flood are thought by christians to be completely true.

They will come up with a bunch of wild theories on how the flood can be true, but even though jesus gave clear instructions to give away all your possesions, somehow he didn't mean that. "Surely jesus wouldn't want me to give up my SUV! He only wanted that exact man in the gospel story to do it. Nobody else has to do it."

I love the guys who claim that there were dinosaurs on the ark! When do they think dinosaurs finally became extinct? 1956? The flood is supposed to be 2300 BCE or so. You would think that someone would have noticed dinosaurs if any existed then. They're not hard to spot.

Another problem with the flood is that every tree and plant on earth would be dead from being crushed 5 miles underneath the ocean, covered with sediment.

So the flood happened during the Shun dynasty in China? No one there seemed to notice it.

Gosh, that's no problem. They were just as sinful as all those dirty animals. Noah must have taken vines with him to start his viticultural venture. The animals on the ark probably carried a share of seeds. African swallows could even carry coconuts.
