: So, does the Bible say how deep or how wide the ark is? Are the animals the same size as they are now? You know, humans have continued to get bigger over the years. Are they the same animals we have now or are the animals we have now offshoots of the originals? Maybe they were all 3" long and 2" tall. Incidentally, I do know what rhetoric means. It means bombast. I know what that means too. I see that you're not going to get the point. You claim to know my beliefs and that I'm attacking you because you said they were wrong. You didn't say that my beliefs were wrong. My beliefs aren't on this board anywhere. I would be really surprised if they were. Like I said, I was playing on the court we were on. Meaning that you responded to someone who felt strongly about what you posted with condescention and malice. So I did the same to you. It's not fun is it? I've accomplished what I wanted, but I doubt it will make a difference. Nice to see you can respond to everything that's thrown at you, and with such hurtful retorts too. Sticks and stones may break my bones, but name calling won't make you look any smarter.

Actually, yes. I'd have to look it up again for the exact numbers, but I think the ark was 450*150*225. If it reall makes a difference, I can find out; I do know that the length [300 cubits, or 450 feet] was the longest measurement.

About animals, we know how big they were from the fossil record. There have been no significant changes in size in the last six thousand years.
