Wood ships were never as big as iron or steel because they break up above a couple of hundred feet.

We did have a discussion about this, or along these lines, some time ago. There are stories of a huge wood ship built... aah - I can't remember now - but somewhere around the first century, but that ship, as impressive as it was, was more "on display" than in actual use because of its size IIRC.
What I don't get as for Noah's ark, is why there haven't been done any advanced computer models of how exactly such a ship (or 'crate') would behave, given the properties of the wood used, the size, etc. etc. etc. Should be perfectly doable in this day and age.
IT WAS A MIRACLE,REMEMBER THAT WTIH GOD, ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE.
HALLELEJAH,BROTHERS AND SISTERS!
This is very true, badboy - everything can be explained away with the supernatural. But then God could just as well have put a 'force field' around Noah, his family and the animals, which kept them dry and above water until it was all over. Or just given up on the rather stupid "drown everything" idea in the first place and just disintegrated the 'evil' people. I guess God wouldn't approve of laser guided, 'smart' rockets, but be more partial to nukes.
I have wondered about that myself. The ark was, according to the Witchtower Society, a box. Which could easily have capsized since it had nothing to stabilize it. Note that nothing was said about there being any weight on the bottom to make sure the damn thing stays upright.
Additionally, the dimensions were totally inadequate. The Witchtower Society says that not all species were put on. In addition to animals that live in water, that means that each species of cats, for instance, have had to have started from one pair. The same for dogs, etc. And what about the elephants, cows, oxen, horses, and other large animals of that kind? For sure, that would have taken more space than was available on the ark.
Plus you have the problem of storing enough food for all those animals and Noah and his family. Has anyone ever tried to keep hay that long? Unless it's totally dried out, it will start to mold. I wonder what Noah and his family ate while on the ark. Remember, there was no food service on board, and this was no cruise where they were going to stop at islands and ports and resupply. They had no means of resupplying. And water? You cannot tell me that one could keep enough fresh water on the ark to support all these animals for more than a year. Rain? That stopped after 40 days, and that would have left them without for about a year or more.
It is totally laughable the lies that the Witchtower Society tell to support this gibberish. Inbreeding of animals, mutations into subspecies (i.e., evolution?), storing enough supplies on the ark for all those animals...there is simply no way in a volume of this size. Keeping it all safe and fresh is another challenge (no refrigeration there). I prefer to believe that evolution was the whole way we came about on this earth.
And the unique animal species from Hawaii, Alaska, Australia and Madagascar were sent to Noah by FedEx, I believe.
yep, and every animal requires a specific habitat for it to live!! temperture, humidity, light, unique food (some are predators).
but the biggest hurdle of them all, bigger problem in building the ark, is that noah needs to traverse all around the world to save such unique species locateded only on their habitat, and the massive frieght required to haul them all to the mediterranian.
