The evidence comes from a 4,700-year-old tablet of clay covered in cuneiform writing, which contains "detailed instruction manual for building an ark,"

I will stick with the detailed instructions described in the Book that God gave to us.

Genesis 6:14-16 Make thee an ark of gopher wood; rooms shalt thou make in the ark, and shalt pitch it within and without with pitch. And this is the fashion which thou shalt make it of: The length of the ark shall be three hundred cubits, the breadth of it fifty cubits, and the height of it thirty cubits. A window shalt thou make to the ark, and in a cubit shalt thou finish it above; and the door of the ark shalt thou set in the side thereof; with lower, second, and third stories shalt thou make it.

What's a cubit?

Whenever I go into Home Depot and ask for a fifty cubit tape measure, they just look at me funny.

Here’s an interesting (old) news article from the UK Daily Mail reporting about a dutch man who built a half size model of the Ark. You can see from the photos and videos that the Ark as described in the Bible is very different than the cartoon depiction of it in children’s story books.

What’s Gopher Wood?

Gopher wood?

I had the same question of why they were ignoring the detailed instructions in the Bible.
