WAS NOAH'S ARK BIG ENOUGH?

Students at leicester University in England have tried to calculate whether two of every animal could have fit in the Ark.  They first of all used the measurements given in the Bible.  Then they estimated the number of animal species as 35,000.  That figure, multiplied by 2, comes to 70,000.  Yes, they argued that Noah's vessel could have accommodated the necessary numbers.
