But, I will tell you this:
1) They spent 40 years on the project.
2) the modern, large ocean going ships use a width to length ratio similar to that of the ark. I wonder how they knew that would be the best?

Because they spent 40 years on it, and the width to length ratio is “similar” to large ocean going ships, the story is true? That’s pretty weak, dude.
On what large ocean going ship can they put two of every animal?
How could they possibly wander the globe and get two of every animal? They went to Antarctica and got two penguins and they went the arctic and got two polar bears and they went to Africa and got two hippos, etc, etc?
And it is still true that if the arc were built to those specs, out of wood, it would fall apart under its own weight. You have yet to address this fact.

Here’s a quote:

By the beginning of the 18th century, the growth of geology and biogeography as sciences meant that few natural historians felt able to justify a literal interpretation of the Ark story. Nevertheless, Biblical literalists continue to explore the region of the mountains of Ararat, in north-eastern Turkey where the Bible says Noah's Ark came to rest.

The ark story has been discreditied since “the beginning of the 18th century,” but just like evolution, the only people that believe the Ark story to be real are “biblical literalists.”
