El-skepto: "Noah's Ark cannot survive the seas because large wooden
ships have been proven not capable to the task."

La-Skepta: "Noah's Ark cannot be built because there has never been a
tree large enough to make into a 300-cubit keel, there is no way four
(or eight) sane people could cut down such a tree (if one were to
exist) with Neolithic or Bronze Age tools, there is no way such a
theoretical tree could be felled without smashing it to splinters, and
there is no way to move such a log so that it could be shaped into a
keel."

Sure. But aside from that, couldn't the Ark have been built?

I guess it could have been built. It wouldn't have been able to sail,
though, without leaking copiously, or breaking apart, in anything
except the mildest of waters, and it certainly couldn't have held a
representative sample of animal life, with food supplies, for any
length of time.
