The most oldest record piece of data from the dinosaurs and then multiply that by a really, really, really big number. That is my guess on how old the Earth is.
There are about 1.4 million species in the world today, probably in "noah"'s (fakes don't deserve to have their name capitalized) time, there were about 1.8 million species in the world, with about one of the biggest I assume to be the elephant. The average size I'm guesstimating on the "ark" is around 3 feet by 2 feet. There are about 5400 mammal species (bugs and birds and dinosaurs are not welcome because they can float good (well)). So 10,000 animals on a boat... good work "noah" wonder where he found all of them, and how many did he have to kill to survive 40 days...
Agreed. You have to be immature, ignorant, and incompetent to not read other articles about the subject even if you believe in one thing (young earth).
Ok all the sources I have found on the volums of the Ark point to 15 million cubic feet. Apparently the biblical account is very specific (when it wants to be. As DDX stated there are about 2 million species however this diesn't take into account all the undiscovered species which (given the lowest reasonable estimates) puts the total figure at 5 million (or 10 million animals to put on the ark) that equates to 0.15 cubic feet of space each. At a zoo there is an average of 25.4 animals per keeper. On the ark it would be 1.25 million per human aboard. To feed them Noah and his family would need to feed 115 aniumals per second. There would be 100,000 flies aboard (they couldn't survive on the water) in 40 days they could reproduce to make 42222222222222 off spring. I'm not sure what properties the mysterious "gopher wood" held but the ark also had to hold 6,000 termites. There would need to be a garden for the 12,000 plant-feeding mites as well which can have very specific diets.
And how did Noah deal with all this? Genesis 9:29~21 "And Noah began to be an husbandman, and he planted a vineyard: And he drank of the wine, and was drunken; and he was uncovered within his tent." (sounds fun)
God provides. He can do anything. Sometimes you have to accept the fact God is better than us. There is a verse God's ways are not our ways and his thoughts are not our thoughts.
