[__ Science __ ] Could a Wooden Ark Survive the Flood?

Wooden ships that large will always leak; there's no way to stop flexing. But so long as you can pump out the water, the ship will stay afloat. The best way to solve the problem is to build an Ark, load it up with people and animals with enough food for a year, and see how it works.

I'm pretty sure no one will ever try that. For the obvious reasons.
 
"A team of Korean naval architects and structural engineers at the world-class KRISO facility assessed the ark’s proportions for structural feasibility and seakeeping behavior.1 They concluded a 300 mm hull wall and 400 mm internal structure would make a structure adequate in waves up to 30 m (specific wave height). Modern wave data is limited to a maximum of around 11–15 m since waves beyond this size are too rare. They say wood is strong enough."

I'm pretty sure no one will ever try that. For the obvious reasons.
LOL. They already did. It's called the ARK ENCOUNTER.
One obvious reason is, there are so much ELECTRONICS. Why would they fiddle trying to put that big thing in water? Also, nonChristians will harras them most likely.

And Noah tried it. None of our hi-tech in that time.
 
The work of early Egyptians runs counter to the evolutionary mindset. Right from the dawn of “recorded history,” they were masters in metalwork, construction, literature, and mathematics, producing high-quality articles in granite and flint—extremely difficult materials to work with. The list goes on, and the picture is clear: these ancient people were advanced. See Ancient Technology. Likewise, other ancient civilizations had similar obsessions with monuments and grand constructions (Babylon, Greece, Maya, China, etc.). Even the ubiquitous tale of the flood seems as global as the real thing.
