goodlife is probably correct in that it would be possible to make a big wooden boat. Look at oil tankers or container ships - they're ginormously heavy lumps of metal that float.
It would be interesting to hear how many tress were used to build the ark, how long it would take, etc, etc. But that wasn't the point of the question.
Those fun-lovin scribblers, Leviticus and Deuteronomy, describe clean and unclean animals. I understand 'unclean' to mean 'animals whose consumption or handling is taboo'. If camels and tortoises were unclean were they taken onto the ark?
And the giants. Were the giants humans or animals? Why weren't they on the ark?

An oil tanker could not be built from wood any more than a skyscraper could. Wood does not have the strength of steel that is required for the purpose.
The Ark would snap in two when it crested waves.
Ventilation of the Ark with a singe two feet square window is another ridiculous aspect of the design. A ship of that size with that many animals would require extensive ventilation systems or everything on board would die of suffocation.
Distributing the food and removing the dung would be more than all the humans on board could have managed.
Also I am still waiting for the explanation about where all the water came from and where it went afterwards.

How would you like to spend a night in the Ark? It is a three-decked structure largely made of wood. No, this Ark was not built by Noah. But concepts of the one that he and his family constructed more than 4,300 years ago undoubtedly inspired the design of this modern Ark.
The present-day Ark rests on a 7,600-foot-high (2,316-meter-high) spur surrounded by a montane forest in Kenya’s Aberdare Range. From inside the Ark visitors can watch animals outside the structure. This is part of Kenya’s effort to enable people from all over the world to observe and study animals in their natural surroundings, in areas set aside to preserve many wild species threatened with extinction.
We plan to spend a night in the Ark, along with a number of other visitors. “But,” you ask, “how do you expect to see any animals in the darkness?” Well, viewing all through the night is made possible by powerful spotlights. These artificial “moons” are so designed that they do not startle or upset even the most timid animals.
The Journey
Our trip begins in Nairobi, near the edge of the great Rift Valley. After breakfast, we enjoy a leisurely three-hour drive through Kikuyuland. Our first stop is just outside the town of Nyeri, at the Aberdare Country Club. This will be our base. It is surrounded by woodland slopes rich with nandi flame, cape chestnut and jacaranda trees, under which crowned cranes and peacocks stroll.
Looking out over the plains to the north, we have a wonderful view of Mount Kenya on our right, its twin snowcapped peaks rising to somewhat over 17,000 feet (5,182 meters). To our left is the Aberdare Range, attaining a height of over 13,000 feet (3,962 meters). We will be heading in that direction after lunch.
To avoid disturbing the animals, private cars are not allowed to enter this side of the National Park. All visitors are transported to the Ark in two large buses. The eleven-mile (18-kilometer) trip takes us through Kikuyu settlements and farmlands adjoining the park.
Along the way, black-and-white Colobus monkeys frolic in the tall trees. There they are safe from hunters who once slaughtered them for their skins, used for ceremonial robes or decorative carpets. Cape buffaloes abound in the forest, and sometimes block the way, moving aside reluctantly to let us pass. Occasionally, a rhino is seen, but it never stays around very long. Not to be ignored are large herds of elephants. They have been known to make threatening charges at a bus, though never making contact. Now, that is quite an experience to relate to friends and relatives!

First goodlife offers us the culmination of fundamentalist christian research into the proof of concept of Noahs Ark - a paper model, treated with wax crayons, in a bath. This is, presumably, after many earlier efforts at matching the incomparable design of Noahs, made by the "naval architect and marine engineer of 40 years standing" that goodlife and truthabounds are so fond of quoting.
When that fails to convince us, goodlife offers us - a 3 storey wooden hotel! built in a national park in Kenya! What is that supposed to convince us of? That animals like 3 star accomodation?

@Goodlife - More denial of reality, you cannot even offer an argument and are reduced to the forum equivalent of spluttering incoherence.
"LazyGun –Your wrong again
So how many atheists does it take to screw in a light bulb?
None. Atheists don't see the light"
And your joke does not even work very well. Atheists use the light to see the world around them clearly - those with faith are simply blinded by it light, and can see nothing at all.
