So I presume someone figured out what the hell "gopher wood" is and found a lumber mill that made plywood and laminated beams out of it?

Seeing the specs for the boat are about two sentences long, plenty more trouble than the wood.

Yep. It would be interesting to see if it was built with the one little tiny window in it (per bible specs), that is supposed to provide ventilation for poopy smells from hippos, elephants, dinosaurs, etc.

The place is supposed to be open for 40 days and 40 nights up opening to be reflective of the story... where they were actually in the boat for about a year!
Actually, there isn't an reason given for the window. Certainly that thing would have been at risk of explosion. And of course, the poor oxygen conditions after a short while, where methane and carbon dioxide would have started to displace oxygen. Portions of the boat probably would have had dead zones for oxygen.

Didn't need to. By the Old Testament, they weren't alive.

Put Palin, Trump, Bachmann, Hannity, Beck, Cruz, and Limbaugh in it. Launch it in the Arabian Sea. Put a lot of canned chili and oxycontin in Limbaugh's stall. His jumbo chili farts will cause the other 6 to jump overboard. Maybe Yemen will take them. Trump can learn enough Arabic to be the next big Mideast demagogue. The ark will sail on with Limbaugh in the biggest high he ever had. He'll have gone stone deaf. Maybe flying fish will be the new dittoheads.

I hope it never fails. I hope it stands as a permanent monument to what Christianity can do to otherwise reasonable people.

I'd go and see it. It'd be good for a laugh. Something to chuckle over for months, probably.

What a great idea and we can also give thanks to the one who designed it ?

Then all happily retire to the father/daughter room for the rest of the story...

Mixing your Genesis? I believe you are referring to Lot.

Eh.
Why wouldn't biblical inerrantists have a father/daughter room? Same infallible source material, same divine sponsor of moral standards.
I mean, if they're not going to load animals into the ark building, they could have a father/daughter rape room, a Salt pillar for turning around room, a slave auction room ("How much could you get for YOUR kid? For daughters, be sure to check virgin AND spoiled prices!"), a sloppy drunk punishing his grandson room, an interactive display where you get to pound an awl into your slave's ear, all the OT hits.

The difference is notable because Lot represents the historical part of Genesis, as in the historical events that never actually happened, instead of the myths that were just made up.
