But if you put all the fluffy animals in a prism, what if the light blinds them? Poor little animals :(

So, wait. The ark was a big wooden crate? Yeah, that sounds seaworthy...

Right. In other words; a hull.

This sounds like a Biblical version of that Jerry Seinfeld routine where he asks why they don't make the entire plane out of the black box.

Also, if he's a wizard, he should be stoned to death. After all, that's what the bible says to do with those that practice magic.

Marine engineering is not Orange Wizard's strong point. I wouldn't even get in to a rowingboat with him.

Exactly, the Ark's a large fish-tank ornament. Or a case for huge pencils. Or a massive but somewhat inefficient methane bomb. Or a handy storage container for T-Rex meals. Or a myth nicked from other religions. Or a tongue-lollingly idiotic, jaw-droppingly moronic, droolingly cretinous, and knuckle-scrapingly and slavishly believed fairy tale for simpletons.
Cor! I know it's one of those, but I can't remember which one? I'm a silly billy aren't I.

Not at the size the ark is supposed to have been.

Dammit! surfinseaotter beat me to what I was thinking!
But if the boat was made out of "a rectangular prism" then when the sun came out wouldn't the occupants get fried from the heat?

I'm kinda picturing something open on two ends here. That means it'd sink. Of course, if we go with something more tissue-box like and only opened at the top, it wouldn't sail very efficiently. How the hey did you come up with that?

Considering the ark was made out of "gopher wood", anything is possible.
Perhaps gopher wood has the structural strength of tungsten-carbide steel and the weight of corkboard. (It would have to be, to keep from snapping in half under its own weight.)
Perhaps gopher wood has tardis-like properties, allowing the interior of any ark built out of it to be larger than the exterior. (It would have to be, if the Fundies insist that 2 of every kind of dinosaur was on board.)
Perhaps gopher wood magically generates a wide variety food and automatically eliminates waste. (It would have to, in order to keep the thousands upon thousands of animal species on board alive for a year.)

'Gopher wood' is actually the name used by bronze age desert nomads for a goretex/kevlar/plasteel compound.

It's supposed to float, so it's still a big boat, therefore it is a hull. Hull does not have a definition that includes a specific shape.

try as you might dude, the hull IS the ship. it can't be absent, you can't deny your way out of this any more than you can say the sky is green.
