Applying Math, Physics, Archeology to THE STORY OF NOAH
The Noah story isn't about math, physics, or archeology. To apply it is like applying zoobiology to Aesop's Tortoise and Hare story. Category error for those that do it, and category error for those that treat it as such a narrative.
However, if we are going to do so, the real queston is this : even if the Ark was able to survive the rain, how in the hell did it survive the WOODPECKERS????
