And even if you did have a constant steady supply of wind power it would still be incredibly slow. If he were to get two animals of each kind that would mean he would have to travel around the world and go to every country on every continent in every environment imaginable to acquire said animals. Using wind power to go to what is now America would have taken two or three months. And once there would spend years if not the rest of his life gathering two of every animal from North America, Canada, Mexico, and South America, not to mention every island around there. And if he hasn’t died by now from injury, sickness, or old age, he would then have to travel to Asia, Australia, and every single island there. Then go to Japan, China, Vietnam, Korea, Russia, and so one and so forth. Sense the averge life span back then was roughly around 45 years or so he would have died long before he could finish his work. Not to mention that in the bible god gave Noah only a limited amount of time. This is an impossible feet to pull off. Not to mention if you think about it, putting two of every animal on a single ship... Do you have any idea how huge that would be? The ship would have to be the size of say Japan or California. A ship that size would be so huge and heavy it would rip its self apart. No to mention complete and total global deforestation which after the flood would wipe out all plant life. |
one the animals he would not have to go get cus it not that hard to say if you believe god flooded the earth why could he not just have the animals came to noah.
as for wind the ark did not have a sail it had a roof cus it was just make to last and it give how big it is in the bible Genesis 6:15 This is how you are to build it: The ark is to be 450 feet long, 75 feet wide and 45 feet high. 16 Make a roof for it and finish the ark to within 18 inches of the top. Put a door in the side of the ark and make lower, middle and upper decks.
o and the averge life span being 45 i dont know were you got that because acording to the bible noah was already at least already 500
Genesis 5:32 After Noah was 500 years old, he became the father of Shem, Ham and Japheth.
and adam lived 930 years and thats not even close to 45
Genesis 5:5 Altogether, Adam lived 930 years, and then he died.
