“Noah and family used the dang thing for firewood. “

Do you think they had to use the whole thing? It was pretty big.

How long do you reckon it took for any trees to grow? Granted Noah could have used some oil or tar for fuel, but he had to build shelter and wherever he ended up was basically mud for a good long time.

Further I believe one of the reason for the ark being built of a specific wood was for it to be used after the deluge. I'm in the camp that the ark was basically a floating submarine. For it to survive in tact would have to put up with some serious rollin' and a shakin'. It would not be logical for the ark to not be used to the benefit of the family. Certainly they didn't just leave it and say goodbye.
