Uh, yeah... Nope!!
I don’t know if the article is right about Noah’s ark being round, but at least there was some information of value: don’t use a doughnut as a flotation device.
There is one thing the unpowered Ark would have to do and that is not be susceptible to getting rolled by wind and waves.
And of course the WHITE dove photobombs it.
Nope, I’ve seen the ark. It’s in northern KY.
Bullticky. The more words, the more conjecture, the less truth.
Agree that the Ark was basically a floating basket - no mention in Genesis of any form of propulsion or steering ability.
Don’t know if I buy a reed Ark. There needed to be some strength in the hull to withstand the force of the water. The Flood had to have been a somewhat violent event, with lots of currents and rushing water, trees floating around, bodies in the water, etc.
On the other hand, I’ve never understood how Noah could have cut and shaped timbers - his tools likely consisted of bronze knives, saws and hammers. He couldn’t go to Home Depot and buy the wood, after all - starting with cutting down trees would be a big job for a man with a chain saw and saw mill. And he would have needed a crane of some sort once the boat got built up some. Reed construction kind of makes sense when you think about it that way - maybe a reed hull and superstructure over a wood frame?
On the third hand - nothing is impossible for God.
