Hahaha...your fault, my friend Kenny. Never ask a question that can be given essentially a "Yes" or "No" answer! Or stipulate parameters to the initial response, such as "why" or "why not". That being said, I believe that much has been written concerning the size of the Ark, the ability of animals to go into a "hibernation-like" state which would result in a greatly reduced caloric-intake requirement, the presumed pre-decease of dinosaurs, and flood mechanics that could be utilized to account for the age-strata in rock formations, all lend themselves to a universal flood and Noah's Ark. I do not pretend to know the science behind these discussions, however. My faith is such, however, that I accept the Biblical account as authoritative, and to be understood in the conventional sense unless and until the Lord and science demonstrate otherwise. God bless you, Matthew (soulfyre)

Hey...not to let you off the hook...what good information have you come across in support of Noah's ark and a world-wide flood? BTW, I know you have this information squirrelled away, so I'll be watching for you to post some of it for our benefit! In Christ, Matthew (soulfyre)

I generally point people to Answers In Genesis FAQ Pages for this sort of thing. It's actually very interesting. There are a few very sound Creationist models for the flood. The Ark was huge. Here's one part of an answer given by Sarfati: " Was the ark large enough to hold all the required animals?
The Ark measured 300x50x30 cubits (Genesis 6:15), which is about 140x23x13.5 metres or 459x75x44 feet, so its volume was 43,500 m3 (cubic metres) or 1.54 million cubic feet. To put this in perspective, this is the equivalent volume of 522 standard American railroad stock cars, each of which can hold 240 sheep." They were probably young animals too and only one pair per kind was needed. That way quite a number would fit in. Yours In Christ, Ron

Yeah, I didn't know his book was practically online...lol until like a couple of months ago. I went through the pain of typing it out and all that good stuff from my book that I own with that stuff in there. rgrove gave you the page of pretty much everything that I could say on it.
