Is it possible that Noah’s Ark could handle all those Animals?

  1. The Ark’s Dimensions

The dimensions of Genesis 6:15 are 300 X 50 X 30 cubits. Most scholars calculate an 18″ cubit, but Moses was raised in the wisdom of the Egyptians and would have likely used the 20.6″ Egyptian cubit (Acts 7:22).

  1. Size of the Ark in cubit feet
    1. Egyptian cubit = 20.6″ = 515′ X 85.83′ X 51.5′ = 2,276,429 cubic feet.
    2. Babylonian cubit = 18″ = 450′ X 75′ X 45′ = 1,518,750 cubic Feet.
    3. Box car (Train) = 2,760 cubic feet:
      = 824.79 box cars (Egyptian cubit).
      = 550.27 box cars (Babylon. cubit).
  2. Animals
    1. 500,000 species of land life.
    2. 498,000 are insects, worms and animals smaller than a sheep.
      1. Box car holds 240 sheep.
      2. Space needed = 10.5 box cars.
    3. 2,000 Are the size of a sheep or larger.
      1. Total size equivalent to 10,000 sheep.
      2. Space needed = 42.5 box cars.
    4. Two of each of above = 106 box cars.
    5. 25% animals are clean = 500 species.
      1. Total size equivalent to 2,500 sheep.
      2. Six pair extra of each = 30,000 sheep.
      3. Box cars needed = 125 box cars.
    6. Total box cars needed = 231 box cars.
  3. Space Left over for Food, Humans and Movement of Animals
    1. Babylonian cubit = 319 box cars.
    2. Egyptian cubit = 594 box cars.
  4. The Dimensions of Noah’s Ark Obviously Had Sufficient Space to House Everything the Bible Mentions
