Dinosaurs need not apply

Some media company with more money than sense will take the bait.

no it won't. But they should film the effort.

Does that mean it isn't seaworthy?


As to the size, the bible does go into some detail about the dimensions and construction of the ark.

This had not occurred to me. I was under the impression that, in medieval times, the Chineese had built rather massive wooden ships. I see that there is little actual documentation of this.

(I wouldn't want any animals to be harmed if the experiment fails.)

They were on the ark for almost a year after the rain stopped.

The whole deal was 371 days - with food for all the animals. Getting enough of the eucalyptus varieties that only koalas eat, and the specific type of bamboo for the pandas, and keeping it fresh, was a real trick.

And what did he/she do to piss Dad off?

And who let the cockroaches on board?

So many questions....

"Scientific" creationism is funnier anyway.

That would be for God to decide.

M'kay.

Boy, they solved that issue quickly.

Slick!
