Noah's Ark And The Great Flood



The Ark
This boat would have had to have been bigger than anything man has ever made. There are around 25 MILLION species of animal on earth. There's over three hundred fifty-thousand species of beetle alone. The sheer number of insects could fill several arks, before you even consider the larger creatures. The ark would have to be the single largest ship ever in earths history.

did so many plants survive being submerged in brackish water for so long? Again, many plants are quite sensitive to conditions. Take some of your household plants and leave them submerged in the bath or a pond for a month and see how they do. Then, after the waters subside (where to?) there are still more problems with the story. What happened to all the corpses of the countless numbers of animals and humans that died? Surely there would have been terrible plague and disease caused by all that rotting meat.
