Be careful at the zoo...the apes will throw turds at you.

Crews here, time to go to work.

Looking at the pictures of the 3/4 sized one in The Netherlands could one man have ever built such a craft and finished it in a single lifetime?

His sons and sons in law helped him.

Must have been a bloody large family.

Noah lived many hundreds of years.

In other words, he did it by himself while they drank his beer.

I doubt he could, but unless you take the old testament literally word for word (despite it being written centuries after the 'event') and that there could have been no possible mistakes in translation, what's to say Noah didn't have a little help? I'm more curious as to whether anything that size could have floated for long enough to go anywhere. "It grounded on Mount Ararat". Without it falling apart and drowning the animals? Maybe they all had wings Or were lifted up by the choir celestial to be dropped unceremoniously on the nearest bit of fertile ground. Except that it would have been under several fathoms of water so there they were, stuck on top of a rocky mountain with nothing to eat or drink (Noah wonders if God would miss the odd animal or two). Bored, pissed off; wondering if this was all a practical joke.

Going off on a tangent, if the garden of Eden story was true, the whole human race started with an act of incest.

Some cats and rats and ellyphunts, but sure as you are born
you're never going to see no unicorn.


That is all

Humans became accomplished sailors early on.

And yeah, not only Adam and Eve but also Noah and family
