RMS Titanic:
Height: 175 ft
Length: 882 ft
Width: 92 ft
Construction: Steel
Capacity: 3,547 people with Enough food and water for 2 weeks
Noah's Ark:
Height: 45 ft
Length: 450 ft
Width: 75 ft
Construction: Gopher Wood
Capacity: 8 people, 17400 birds, 12000 reptiles, 9000 mammals, 5000 amphibians, 2000000 insects, and enough food and water for a year.
One of these two ships is completely defying the laws of physics, and I'm putting my trust in the one we actually have proof of. -
FLgirl92 NewbieHmm, that's interesting. There is a record of a large flood during that time, however, so it's a fictionalized version of reality I suppose. Bible stories are fun and all, but that's really all they are: stories. I like reading the stories, being a Christian and all, but it doesn't take alot of brains to figure out that Moses probably didn't part the Red Sea.

A cubit wasn't a very accurate measurement. The ark was probably about as big as the Titanic, and there was added weight in the Titanic from furniture and machinery, so that the capacity would not be as big.
I'm no engineer, just pointing that out.
But I see your point, they probably added some drama in that. -
Sorry for bringing this back, but I wanted more people to see it :|

I did recently read about the properties of gopher wood, and it cannot support the weight, in fact it supposedly would have broken up upon hitting the water.
But then, maybe that's the "miracle..."
