That was a fairy tale. What about sea life? Did fish go in the ark?

All those animals? Are you referring to what you saw in a movie. Or what is said in the bible? The ark held what it could, as much as Noah and his people could find in those days.
Many Orthodox Jews and conservative Christians are believers in Biblical inerrancy, the concept that the Bible, as the word of God, is without error, but must be interpreted using the historical-grammatical method in order to be understood correctly whenever there is no clear reason for any other reading.
The historical-grammatical method (or Grammatico-Historical method) of biblical studies is a type of Biblical hermeneutics, or method of approaching and interpreting the Bible, which relies as much as possible on the supportive context of Biblical texts, especially in relation to the original audience and Biblical genre. The Grammatico-Historical approach uses all the available linguistic, grammatical, literary, historical, socio-political, archaeological, economic and religious information available in relation to a specific text in order to understand the original author's intended meaning. The grammatical-historical method of Biblical interpretation is used especially in the Covenantal and Lutheran traditions.

It didn't..
How could a Polar Bear get to where the Arc was.
How could a Penquin get there.
How could a Camel get there.
How could a Panda that only lived in China get there ?
How about the Ant Eater from Africa ?? How did it get there ?
How about the Hipo From Africa ?
How about some of the Sankes that only grow in Viet Nam get there ?
How about the Alagators from Florida ?? How did they get there ?
How about the Howling Monkies from Costa Rica ? How did they get there?
How about the Mongulian Ponnies from Mongoleah ( S ) ??
The Rats from India ?
The Lizards from Cuba ?
The Red Tailed Fox from Illinois ?
Nope, there was not room enought for even 1 / 10th of the animals etc to get on the Arc.
The NEXT Question would be, Where did they get the food to feed them ???
Where did they get enough Water for them ??

We don't know if the Ark has ever existed and if it did, we don't know the exact number of animals it held. And I don't believe everything that the bible says because they were written by people, not by God.

A side effect of teaching an entire population to read is that most of them don't do it very well. At least if you had been TOLD the story you might have had physical and verbal clues that emphasized the important parts and the metaphor...
On the other hand, I'm not advocating that we limit opportunities to basic literacy. Instead, I'm suggesting that you learn to read above the basic literal level.

If it was a big ark and science and math doesn't matter on this one since it is all about religion. If you believe then you do, if not, the not, trying to use reason in religion is suicide.

Why do you ask stupid questions that are not related to science? Is it a character flaw or are you just stupid? Go to a religion site to ask questions like this one.

I think they only took the farm animals - cows, sheep, goats, chickens... maybe a dog (or I suppose it was 2 dogs...)

Absolutely. God designed it to.

No. I think it was a metaphor.
