# It's described as rather bigger than is depicted there,
it's supposed to be about 450 feet long.

# That's still really not big enough.
You would need a boat the size of Wales (maybe even bigger) to house that many animals, and with durable enclosures, food supplies, etc.

# Picking holes in old testament stories
is akin to criticising plot flaws in the tale of the Brothers Grimme

# What is there to understand?
Other than a group of people got together, wrote a few stories to explain what science couldn't at that time, and everyone got wet over it?

And yes I am a bit cranky today. XD

# it's not really anything to do with science,
especially not the New Testament. Most of it isn't even stories.

along with dismissing large parts of it as "metaphorical" because, for example, it would be inconvenient to sell all your possessions and give the money away to the poor

The new testament is more Hans Christian Andersson

# eh, I just like pointing out to Christians that most of the time they're disregarding Jesus's specific instructions
though apparently he often spoke, and acted, metaphorically - presumably with a nod and a wink to Matthew, Mark, Luke or whoever had the notepad on that particular day...

# This is just a head-on view of the bridge of the vessel resting on the ground.
It's actually a long, narrow hover-ship extending several miles into the distance over the water.

Either that or that black gloom inside disguises the fact that it's just a process of cell extraction for cloning and the bodies are being dumped in the sea behind.

# Ok, so the animals would have to stand shoulder to shoulder. I'm sure I remember he was at sea for over 100 days - where the hell would he keep all the food for the animals?
And that is aside from all the other logistical flaws in the plot line.

Someone really should have proof-read the bible before they published it.
