[On lists of impossibilities with Noah's ark]
What nonbelievers fail to realize, or at least accept, is the God-factor. Who shut the door of the ark? Who sealed it? God. So we see very clearly that the ark had God's divine hand on it which eliminates any such problem.

brandon: Nobody NEEDS to disprove the ark story; it has already been disproved by mountains of evidence that shows it to be quite impossible.making the positive claim. So it's your job to prove this, not ours to disprove it.
Oh, and while you're at it, please learn basic punctuation skills. Thanks.

Um, yeah. That's a fact. I do not accept the 'Jor-El-fact0r.'
It must be nice to be able to rely on such intellectual laziness as "it was a miracle, duh, the rules of reality don't have to apply" every time there's a logical inconsistency in the Bible. Even in cases where God explicitly states that humans are on their own and would not be granting any supernatural benefits like with Noah.
And then there's the math on the timeline of the flood. 40 days of rain followed by 150 days of the water receding. That adds to 190 days, but the Bible explicitly says the flood started on the 17th day of the 2nd month and ended the 17th day of the 7th month. Even if we take those two figures concurrently instead of consecutively the date doesn't match. Not every month contains 30 days. And despite the Ark coming to rest on mount Ararat on that date somehow it was only in the 10th month that the mountaintops emerged from the water. Despite the previous statement about the flood ending on the 150th day the waters still required more time to recede and the ark was somehow resting on a mountaintop when the mountains were still underwater. And Ararat isn't the tallest mountain on Earth. It's not even internally consistent.
But hey, "it was a miracle, duh, time and dates don't have to work the same any more" right?
