Ancillary Evidence in Support of Noah's Flood
Were dinosaurs on Noah’s Ark? (From CMI)
According to Genesis 6:15, the Ark measured 300 x 50 x 30 cubits, which is about 460 x 75 x 44 feet, with a volume of about 1.52 million cubic feet. Researchers have shown that this is the equivalent volume of 522 standard railroad stock cars (US), each of which can hold 240 sheep. By the way, only 11% of all land animals are larger than a sheep.
Without getting into all the math, the 16,000-plus animals would have occupied much less than half the space in the Ark (even allowing them some moving-around space)...

JGL Comments:
The authors James Johnson and Timothy Clarey have written an article on the Noah Flood Account that demonstrates a “critical timeframe” that is required for the global Flood to have occurred. They review both the Hebrew text and geological record to advocate “that the Flood initiated on Day 1 with the bursting of the fountains of the great deep. The Flood-water continued to rise thereafter until it reached the Ark on Day 40, causing it to float freely. Between days 40-150, the water progressively rose until it reached its zenith, covering the highest hills by 15 cubits, where Chapter 7 ends.” They, the authors, come to some of the similar conclusions as I have in the book I wrote on The Noah Flood Account A True Narrative Representation. The whole article can be viewed on the link below. As well, my book on the Noah Flood is listed in the Store on this website.
