To be fair, I don't think believing in the observable laws of the universe can fully constitute "faith" as you're using it. He's not simply pointing out the absence of evidence for the Ark's existence, he's pointing out how easily refutable it is by the fact that, were it to exist, it wouldn't adhere to what we've come to know about reality. Sure, there's always the possibility that it exists, but does it? Haha, no.
True enough, but several parts of the bible (granted, the older the stories are the less true this is) atleast intersect with actual history in some way. I certainly don't believe that the actual biblical ark existed, but it's not as if it's impossible that some sort of similar thing, on a much smaller scale, could've occured at some point in time and grown into a folklegend or something.
Anyway, if old testament God is assumed at all in the argument, observable laws of the universe can be thrown out the window, because that ****er does whatever the hell he wants.
