{{protectThe claim that the Chinese character for boat is flawed. The word 'boat' in Chinese is made up of three parts, 'boat', 'mouth' however the last part is not 'eight'. It is a radical which looks similar to 'eight' but in fact is not. It means table. Could this be changed?[[User:EvelynJ|MountainDew}}EvelynJ]]

==Depth of the Ark==
Is there a measurement for the depth of the Ark? The draft is the measurement from the keel to the waterline. It would be helpful to know the cubic meters for the Ark to understand its size.--[[User:Able806|Able806]] 09:47, 8 December 2008 (EST)
: Did you see the footnote for the draft? [[User:Philip J. Rayment|Philip J. Rayment]] 09:53, 8 December 2008 (EST)
::No, I did not, thank you for pointing that out. Could we add the 30 cubits since most hull measurements include depth? I would add it but the page is locked.--[[User:Able806|Able806]] 10:01, 8 December 2008 (EST)
==Responses to Criticisms==
I recently received my copy of Woodmorappe's Ark Feasibility Study and I see that it comprehensibly addresses all of the criticisms listed. I would like to address each criticism with a '''Response'''. Is there any chance of this article being unlocked? [[User:CherylE|CherylE]] 12:27, 29 January 2009 (EST)
: I've unlocked it. It's been locked too long anyway. [[User:Philip J. Rayment|Philip J. Rayment]] 15:00, 29 January 2009 (EST)
== problematic use of reference - the graph ==
Dear ladies and gentlemen,
apart from the general questionable character of the Noah's Ark article, I as a historian have to object to the graph presented. Obviously methods of ship construction evolved during the first millenium B.C., wherefor the equation of technolgy levels presented is inacceptable. The graph, whereever it may come from, is clearly not based on scientific grounds. The succession of "Roman era, Dark Ages, Renaissance" is clearly made up in regards to general history, history of technology and history of ship-building.
The presented "model" of the Ark is absurd at the least. If one feels the urge to present the Ark as anything other as an allegory, it should be done another way. I would suggest a whole fleet for the beginning...
With best regards,
J.F.H.
== Carnivores ==
How were carnivorous animals prevented from killing the other animals? The small number of humans on board wouldn't have been able to physically stop lions, tigers etc. from doing so - because they're much faster and stronger than humans. Even if they weren't hungry, they'd have killed out of instinct. How would they have got all the animals to queue up (as shown the picture)? Antelope, sheep etc. in a queue with lions and tigers?

:Have you not read the account of Daniel being in the lions den? Were there not cows and goats and chickens on board? Did you ever feed your dog or cat milk or eggs from the fridge? They even showed what both people and animals were eating in the Noah's ark scene from the 1965 film ''The Bible'' starring John Huston as Noah - a film you obviously seen.
