Caitlyn Jenner is more weirdo.

I guess you would know. His exhibit has dinosaurs after all they walked the earth with men according to Ken Ham the weirdo. Jenner does not make statements that idiots in th south believe about our existence , but you are welcome to your believe in God

...Jenner does not make statements ...

I guess you know this creature more than I do.

The structure was not built to be seaworthy and is hopelessly compromised for any attempt to make it so. Even if it was, a wooden structure would not be able to withstand the stresses imposed on a free floating structure that size in the open ocean. There is reason why wooden ships were not made above a certain size. A ship that size would break its back in even a mildly rough sea.

Although it was not at the limit of such size, the Swedish ship Vasa was an excellent example of terrible design. The vessel foundered on it maiden voyage just minutes after its launch, a top-heavy design dooming it to a watery grave and a lasting monument to folly. Of course, it subsequently became a wonderful maritime relic of Swedish shipbuilding and culture, with over 35 million having toured it to date, yet it would not exist had not an impatient king and his timid advisors enabled a wholly unstable ship to launch.

A major problem is the longer a wooden beam the more subject it is to breaking under stress. So you have to limit the length of your beams to make the ship stronger but this greatly increases the number of seams which are subject to leaks and failures under stress. I'd have to look it up again but the closest open ocean wooden ship to the ark's size, somewhere from half to three-quarters in length, had steel reinforcements but still leaked like a sieve and could only stay afloat with the use of steam powered pumps that had to run constantly to keep ahead of leaks.

Of course that wouldn't work...because it's the imprimatur of science which lends the museum credibility, not the value of the biblical story itself.

Without the sort of evidence this park provides, people would be faithless.

There is no credibility, no evidence, no faith except your very vivid imagination

I'm not sure you've understood me.
