I am delighted to find a reference to J. Woodmorappe as an authority. I
have carefully read his _Noah's Ark: A Feasibility Study_ (1996). He has
a number of solutions for disposing of animal wastes on the Ark. One (pp.
27, 32, 78) suggests a drain at the lowest point. This means that my son
can dispose of his bilge pump if only he will drill a hole at the lowest
point in the hull of his boat. So simple, yet so profound.
This is a typical misrepresentation that verges on outright lying. On pages 27 and 78 Woodmorappe proposes using an outfall per Turnbull (1967). Page 32 simply mentions the draining of liquid waste over board but not how. Do you know what an outfall is? A gated outfall is entirely logical and workable as it allows liquid to flow only one way -- out of the vessel. With the animals on the 2nd and 3rd floors, manure would be dumped to the bottom floor. Liquid could be channeled on the upper floors to "pipes" which run down to the gated outfalls. Only when the "water" pressure in the pipe exceeds the water pressure outside will the gates open. As the vessel rocks from side to side, the outfall on the higher side of the vessel would experience less pressure, the gated outflow opens and the liquid inside flows outward, dumping urine overboard. Such outfalls need not be on the bottom of the vessel, but may also be on the sides near the bottom.
Another
suggestion is to introduce earthworms into the waste sump (pp. 34f). This
is plausible for horse and sheep manure that is urine free, but cow
manure, even without urine, is too moist and will drown the worms.
On page 27, Woodmorappe propose the separation of cattle manure from urine. This would allow for dryer manure which worms could survive in. Worms are just one proposal for dealing with manure, what may not work for one type of manure may work on another.
Need I
say more about the brilliant quality of his solutions to problems
connected with the universal flood?
Compared to woodmorappe you are a chimp, chump.
