There's lots of speculation about Noah's ark. I don't recall anyone claiming that the Noah story was copied from golden plates given to a guy in upstate NY.

MissesBush asked a good question; your response is an evasion.

If it was possible for Noah to build an ark according to God's command, then it would have been possible for others to build vessels according to God's command.

(Likewise, it would be possible for Joseph Smith to translate an ancient record by the gift and power of God.)

As for the article itself, I note that the author repeatedly asserts that the Jaredite barges were designed to turn upside down. Does the Book of Mormon ever make such a claim?

Mormon fiction loses to scientific fact and principles. The design of the ark has been shown to be one (if not the most) stable ships that could have been designed, tested in the same manner as other ships.

The Jaredite 'barges' fail that test every time, they keep sinking.
