What use is it if you make unsubstantiated claims ad nauseam and then the Bible folk have to keep proving you wrong. This could get very tedious indeed.
Ok, it is a good point but will try and get into specifics. I remember watching a BBC documentary called Noah's Ark. Unfortunately anything I found online referring to the documentary just mentions about what it was about and would not give their conclusions. That would mean I would have to depend on bible folk managing to get hold of that documentary and watching it.
What it determained was that based on the size of Noah's Ark specified by the dimensions in the bible, the Ark would completely break apart soon after getting into the water.
Also the time that Noah was given to build the Ark would have been impossible for him to achieve (I expect people would argue that he got God's help). This is before putting in all the animals.
Anyway, I expect I am flogging a dead horse considering the bible folk would always say things like, "God thrown in these absurdities to test our faith", "Noah used 'special' biblical wood for the ark" etc.
