Claim CH512:

Noah's ark could have carried pairs of all kinds of animals for a year.

Source:

Woodmorappe, John, 1996. Noah's Ark: A Feasibility Study, Santee, CA: ICR.

Response:

  1. Woodmorappe (1996, 1-44) has done a detailed analysis of the possibility of fitting all animals aboard the Ark. He found that the animals, together with the food and water they require, would fit in about 90 percent of the available space. However, he made several invalid assumptions that, when corrected, fill the ark past overflowing (Isaak 1998).
