Man Builds Full-Size Noah's Ark

A wooden boat that large can't stay afloat even in the calmest waters.
There is no evidence of a *global* flood, and there would be plenty if it had happened.

You also need to have all the extinct animals on board as well, because creationists say that all fossil records date from the flood too (and that the entire Earth is only about 6000 years old anyway).

There were up to 14 of each animal, not 2.
You need to go further than species, because creationists also deny evolution. So you need far more than the 60,000 animals (not including insects) that you refer to.
The gases from the animals would probably be fatal. The ark as described doesn't have anything like adequate ventilation systems.
You mention food, which would be an insurmountable problem in itself (e.g. many animals require fresh plants - where were they grown?) but you don't mention drinking water. For at least a couple of hundred thousand animals.
Where does the urine and faeces from the animals below deck go?
How can 8 people tend all those animals?
The animals would need exercise space, so the ark would have to be far bigger yet again.
Although 8 people couldn't exercise that many animals anyway.

The ark as described has a volume of 40,000 m³.

So per animal (two of every kind = 10,760 animals), there would be 3.7m³ of space.

But wait, there are 8225 reptile species. So now our total number of animals is 27210. So that's now 1.47m³ per animal.

Then there are amphibians. 6347. Our number of animals is now 39904. 1.002m³ per animal now.

334 marsupial species. 40572 animals. 0.98m³ per animal.

And that's not even counting insect species (of which there are aproximately 30 MILLION species) and bird species (10,000 species, most of which require land). Nor does it count freshwater fish. Nor does it count the FOOD required by all these animals.

"I could not fit in a baby carseat right now, that means I was never in one. hehe, atheists try so hard and yet fail with every argument. Most animals don't start off being full grown."

To save other people having to do so: Toba was a "supervolcano", the silly name given to things that aren't what most people would think of as volcanos.

Imagine getting a tough metal container, putting some water in it, welding it closed and then putting it on a fire. The steam inside it will eventually create enough pressure to burst it violently. "Supervolcanos" are like that, but bigger. Bigger in the same way that a star is bigger than a candle.

There's a scale for volcanic eruptions/explosions. "supervolcanos" are so far off the scale that they had to tack extra numbers on the end and they ran out of words to describe the power of the eruption, so they are officially classed as VEI 8 "Mega-colossal". Seriously - "mega-colossal" is the real rating.

mooogandi, thanks for the laugh. You quoted an entire post close to the size limit and added a meaningless 8 word reply that utterly fails to address any of it.

Then there's the people problem - there's no way the human race could have flourished from just the people mentioned (Noah, his wife, his sons and their wives). Even ignoring the glaring problem of incest being a bit of an issue in reproduction.

The only way it could work is if the ark was a spaceship and the animals (plus a lot more people) were stored as genetic samples and somehow recreated after landing."
