    Has anyone calculated the size of the arc that would be needed to put two of each species in it or given consideration to the fact that biologists have taken centuries to discover only a fraction of all species that are alive today? how long would it have taken Noah to go around the world and discover every species and collect two of them? or is is supposed by creationists that all species conveniently lived a stone’s throw from Noahs place in those days? I cannot accept that most of those who say that they believe this really do. And what about the incest that would have been necessary in Noah’s family to beget the entire modern human race? ANd how do they explain the wide genetic variation that we see in all species alive today if they came from a single breeding pair. Then how did all the living species today find their geographical niche? You mentioned the Kiwi but the same is true of most species, they are specifically adapted to single geographical and environmental niches that they occupy. How are they supposed to have traveled and found these remote and often small niches?
    Then what about the food chain? Did the lions wait months for the two remaining Zebras to breed before they ate one? If they didn’t there would be no mate for the single remaining Zebra to breed with! and if they did they would have starved to death and there would be no lions.

    Hmmmm…. THINK you people!!!! THINK!

    According to the story, there were multiple pairs of each species: seven or two pairs, depending on the species. Of course, that just makes the storage problem that much worse, and it still doesn’t give much genetic variety. But if you can imagine rapid continental drift between the flood and modern times, then rapid mutation shouldn’t be a problem.

    Noah was also supposed to bring “every kind of food”. This could mean that for prey species, there were more than just the breeding pairs (again, making the storage problem worse).

    About Noah’s ark in turkey.This isn’t the first time they found the ark.They also found it in the 90′s and maybe one other time before that.Remember,they aren’t scientists. Before we get to the carbon dating, how about we see the wood, pictures, and layout of the thing they’ve found ?
