With all the current hype concerning the new Hollywood adaptation of Gods novel (screenplay by some scribe with broken sandals), I thought it an interesting time to discuss the logistics involved in this story....please add as needed:
Material required:
For an estimated =/- 400, 000 animals of various sizes we can place the craft size to be roughly 4 miles long by 1 mile wide minimum. The required lumber to build such a thing might be approaching 1-200,000 mature trees. The timeframe to cut down and mill these materials (considering 7 able bodied people), would likely run into decades before manufacturing could begin.
Supplies needed:
To feed said animals for 40 days one would likely require a craft of similar size to the initial Ark as a storage facility for foodstuffs. We also run into the logistical nightmare of picking proper foods for individual animal diets and distributing appropriately. Obviously once fed the animals would digest this food and eliminate the waste product, which would also need to be removed at some point.
