thetrueone,
Why should I believe you over the Bible? What makes what you have to say so more convincing that what the Bible says? You can't offer me salvation.

EntirelyPossible,
The ark was a delivery vessel.
Why did God bother to have the Ark built? Why did Noah and his family use tar to seal out the waters?
It is because God expects a measure of willingness from each person to work towards their own salvation.
Much probably happened during Noah and his family's stay on board the Ark. There were earthquakes and undersea volcanic eruptions. The result was the receding of the waters were not to their original boundaries.
Land masses under went change from caverns, rising land masses and trenches that were created from God's hand being involved. This altered the original water boundaries and created new ones.
1 Peter 3:18-22
New International Version (NIV)
18 For Christ also suffered once for sins, the righteous for the unrighteous, to bring you to God. He was put to death in the body but made alive in the Spirit. 19 After being made alive, [a] he went and made proclamation to the imprisoned spirits— 20 to those who were disobedient long ago when God waited patiently in the days of Noah while the ark was being built. In it only a few people, eight in all, were saved through water, 21 and this water symbolizes baptism that now saves you also—not the removal of dirt from the body but the pledge of a clear conscience toward God. [b] It saves you by the resurrection of Jesus Christ, 22 who has gone into heaven and is at God’s right hand—with angels, authorities and powers in submission to him.

Yan,
I do not believe I would ever be told it is safe to walk off the edge of a building, but if you want an example, Satan promised Jesus that he would be saved should he jump off a tall mountain. You know the rest.
The astute among us have no inclination of how low in IQ they actually are in comparison to God's capacity. What they cannot explain they write off as a hoax.

thetrueone,
I watched the flood video you posted. I do not agree on the year given as the time of the flood. As for the ark's design, it was God's design so be careful who you criticize. Noah simply worked from the plans.

Regarding dreams, this is an interesting response I found:
The things your mind thinks up, those things are created on the Astral Plane. If you have fears, you might very well create your own nightmare out there, but it is not real. It is simply energy converted for a scenario that is played out in your dream. As an astral projector, via the astral body, you will often witness these dreams taking place. They look like scenes of a movie being played out. As the person nears the wake state, the scenes dissipate and dissolve away. They are also capsuled within a bubble that looks much like an Orb. That’s how you can tell that it is a dream in motion. As you watch the bubble dissolve, you know the dream is coming to a climax.

Continuing on the same line of though, if you think about it, when you dream, you use something called creative thought or energy utilized for that dream.
Like phantom energy, it can't harm you even if you dream you've been mortally wounded, but the spirits take creative energy one step further, they become what they think, thought is gasoline to the body and with it they cast how they want to appear, it's what gives them their arms and legs.

Sabastious,
An interesting thought!
I once read somewhere that spirits are composed of energy that vibrates at extremely high frequencies. In order to perform tasks in the physical world, they pulse down, or lower their vibrations, which gives them mass and atomic weight. This is pure speculation but if might explain how they interact with our physical world.
