I want to know how the koalas, kangaroos, wallabies, etc. got from Australia to a tiny patch of desert in the Middle East. Did God magically teleport them there? What about animals with specialized diets, such as the Everglades kite, which eats only snails? Did God provide the snails, too? How did the lions, bears, tigers, jaguars, crocodiles, etc. survive without any meat to eat? (There is no mention of extra animals being provided for them.) Noah's ark is such a stupid story that only a child could believe it, the way children believe in the Easter Bunny.

In Genesis 6, 7, 8, and 9 two Hebrew words, nephesh and basar, are used to describe the animals on board the ark. The word nephesh includes birds and mammals only. The word basar refers more specifically to those birds and mammals that contribute to man's livelihood. Further, the word for world refers to mankind and the area he occupied rather than the entire globe.
So, the number of animals on board the ark probably numbered in the hundreds, certainly no more than a few thousand. The ark, then, would have been adequate, and eight people could have cared for all the animals.

Where did he put the 3 species of Elephants. They would need about 600 tons of food to make it that long. The largest wooden ship ever only displaced about 500 tons. The 600 doesn't count the weight of the ship or the Elephants.

when waters everywhere, theres no need to store fish...why is there clam fossils on top mountains. New diseases appear everyday. If you calculate the size of the ark it had enough room for food, and by the way, fungi doesnt need on board either, but if it wanted to, im sure it could chill on deck.
Dumb question, dumb answer.

virises do not live. look it up.
the Bible says AIR bREATHING ANIMALS, everything with the breath of life. bacteria lives on fur, skin, everything, and are even beneficial in some cases. so they got on.
the ark was made out of gopherwood, which is likely now extinct, plus, redwoods are common.
if there's enough water on earth to flood it, so it could have happened. thermo-nuclear explosions under the earth, massive rain storm from above. seems plausible to me.
