Common Questions: Aren't There Too Many Species to Fit on the Ark?
One issue is The definition of species is weak, since in cases such as the common dog (Canis Familiaris) and Timber Wolf (Canus Lupus) species in our current system are not always genetically different. The fact that there are fewer genetic structures than species allows the number of types of creatures to be reduced. In addition, insects are not needed since they can live on flotsam, and fish are not needed since a portion would be able to survive the harsh conditions. Also, the Bible doesn't claim that Noah put the animals on the ark, it claims that God put the animals on the ark--this allows for the animals to be infants or to be in hibernation, and therefore use little or no food.

Isn't the Ark bigger than the known maximum size of wooden sea vessel?
Yes, and the Great Pyramid is bigger than the known maximum size that a pyramid can be built--if modern scientific inquiry doesn't prevent the Great Pyramid from existing, perhaps it doesn't prevent a sea vessel of the ark's size from existing.



Other Information:
The worldwide flood explains much more easily than an "ice age" for seashells on the top of Mount Everest and other of the highest mountains.

The Grand Canyon is consistent with flood Geology, and a flood of Biblical proportions would be needed to create this and other instances of mass erosion.

The Biblical flood allows for much tectonic movement to occur in a short span of time, allowing for the Bible's timeline not to be contradicted by ages of the earth projected by some geologists.

The Biblical flood may be the only rational explanation for the huge deposits of oil under the earth, which are made up of decayed plant and animal matter, millions of gallons of which would have to have been rapidly stacked on a global scale and compressed.
