Talk:Pitch (resin)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I'm not that well versed in materials science, but could pitch be considered a dilitant material, similar to Silly_Putty? Both will shatter when impacted, but are ductile (I think thats the right term) when forces are applied over a longer period of time. Davepetr 20:15, 3 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Genesis 6:14

This the pitch in the Book of Genesis 6:14 referring to the subject of this article? 05:45, 25 March 2007 (UTC)

This is the pitch referred to in Genesis 6. The Strong's definition for the word pitch in Genesis 6:14 is a covering or bitumen.

You can find more information on how it might have been done at Answers in Genesis http://www.answersingenesis.org/creation/v7/i1/noah.asp. Mind you, they do not cite sources and the authors have a very biased opinion.
