How Big Would Noah's Ark Actually Need To Be?! #MYTHS #

The video explores the concept of building an ark to address global warming, comparing it to Noah's Ark from the Bible. It discusses the biblical dimensions and construction challenges, including the feasibility of a wooden ark's seaworthiness. Alternative designs and materials are considered, along with the logistics of housing and feeding a large number of animals. The video also examines species diversity and genetic viability, comparing the ark's challenges to modern shipbuilding and logistics.
