Okay so according to the Bible there is 33,750 sq. ft, if the ark was made as a cube (which it probably wasn't, but that's the biggest we can make it). Now the lowest estimate of species on earth is 1.5 million*, half of which are insects, so let's not count them, we're left with 2 x 750,000, so we're at 1.5 million animals on board. So 1.5 million divided by 33,750 equals 0.0225 sq ft. per animal. To put that into perspective that's a quarter of an inch squared per animal.
Can we move on with our lives now?
* the highest estimate was 50 million, and the average was 10 million, but only 1.5 million have been classified.
