Scientists have identified approximately 1.5 million species of animals on earth today, and think that there are probably several times that many in all. If we consider only the known present-day species of animals and assume that half of them can live in water (are aquatic) and half of them cannot (are terrestrial), and Noah were to stand in front of his ark watching a pair of each terrestrial species pass by him, and it took 10 seconds on average for each of these species to pass by him, how long would he stand there?
6 hours22 hours3 1/2 days23 1/2 days- 87 days
(6 per minute x 60 minutes x 24 hours = 8640 pairs/day. Half of 1.5 million = 750,000. 750,000/8640 = 86.8 days.)
Assuming the numbers from the previous question, how much room would each pair of animals have had aboard the 450-foot-long ark, assuming it was rectangular? (And not leaving any room for the dinosaurs, mastadons and sabre-toothed tigers.)
About 2 sqare yardsAbout 3 sqaure feetAbout 1 square footAbout 1/2 of a square foot- About 4 inches by 5 inches
(The ark's dimensions were 450 ft. x 75 ft. and it had 3 decks, so if the ark were perfectly rectangular this would be 405 x 75 x 3 = 102,250 sq.ft. of space. 102,250 / 750,000 = 0.135 sq.ft., that is 144 x .135 = 19.4 in.sq./pair, or a square about 4 1/2 inces per side. Of course, if the ark was "boat-shaped", rather than rectangular, this would be considerably less.)
How much of the ark was taken up with food and other supplies for all those animals?
- 5%
- 10%
- 25.5%
- 50%
- over half
- Your guess is as good as mine.
