Noah and the Ark
This article was posted on Tuesday, September 16, 2008
Noah and his 3 sons built it in 100 years. Was the Ark large enough to carry all the necessary types?
“The ark measured 300× 50×30 cubits (Genesis 6:15), which is about 450×75×45feet or 137 ×23×13.7 meters, so its volume was 1.52 million cubic feet or 43,200 meters (cubic meters). To put this in perspective, this is the equivalent volume of 522 standard railroad stock cars, each of which can hold 240 sheep. If the animals were kept in cages with an average size, (some would be much bigger, others smaller) of 20×20×12 inches (50×50×30centimeters), that is 4,800 cubic inches (75,000cm.), the 16,000 animals would only occypy 42,000 cubic feet (1,200m) or 14.4 stock cars. Even if a million insect species had to be on board as well, it would not be a problem because they require little space, If each pair were kept in cages of four inches(10 cm or 1,000 cm3) per side. all the insect species would occupy a total volume of only 1,000m3 or another 12 cars. This would live room for five trains of 99 cars each for food. Noah’s family, “range” for the animals, and air spaces. However, insects are not included in the meaning of behemath or remes so Noah probably did not have to take them on board as passengers anyway.” (AnswersInGenesis)Next posting: Technology- 1st Generation
