The ark was a mega-ship. (my comment)
Many years ago, a company built an Olympic Sized Pool on the 5th floor of their new building.
Alas, they forgot to calculate the weight of the water and were never able to use it.
I find it fascinating that he was also told to take 7 pairs of clean animals (food animals). This was before the “food laws”.
Amazing how true, unbiased science and math with no agenda keeps lining up with God’s Word, the Bible. Of course, that makes sense when one realizes that the Creator of the universe, earth, math, and science is also the Author of the Bible.
Yes, but what is Mythbusters going to conclude on this one?
What about the plants, most of which would be destroyed in a flood violent enough to create the conditions supposed by flood geology? How long would it take to repopulate the world with all the animals starting with one breeding pair?
This can safely be filed with the recent “complexity disproves evolution” and science as a heresy if it causes doubt on literal Biblical language.

Food Requirements on the Ark
• The Ark would probably have carried compressed and dried foodstuffs, and probably a lot of concentrated food.
• Perhaps Noah fed the cattle mainly on grain, plus some hay for fiber.
• Woodmorappe calculated that the volume of foodstuffs would have been only about 15 % of the Ark’s total volume.
• Drinking water would only have taken up 9.4 % of the volume. This volume would be reduced further if rainwater was collected and piped into troughs.

Waste Disposal on the Ark
• It is doubtful whether the humans had to clean the cages every morning.
• Possibly they had sloped floors or slatted cages, where the manure could fall away from the animals and be flushed away (plenty of water around!) or destroyed by composting by worms which would also provide earthworms as a food source.
• Very deep bedding can sometimes last for a year without needing a change. Absorbent material (e.g. sawdust, softwood wood shavings and especially peat moss) would reduce the moisture content and hence the odor.
