I've heard some people say that animals have evolved a lot since the time of Noah, so there are more species now then they're used to be. But my goodness, how long ago did Noah climb in his ark? Do you know how long it takes for 1000 species of insects to evolve into 1 million?

This is a Hard question. I have wondered something similar to this in my past. I don't know how to answer your question. I am at a loss.
This is where I just fall on faith and the fact that one day when I'm in Heaven, someone will explain all these types of questions to me.
Who knows , ,,,, that maybe with all the thousands of years of interpretation have gotten something wrong in our modern day versions of the bible. BUT I know that most of the bible is correct. It has been examined time and time again with ancient Hebrew text and Greek text.

insects are tiny, and most were unclean (Noah only took two of every unclean animal; one male one female as God instructed), so it makes sense that they could fit inside an ark 3 1/2 football fields long. Besides, ticks and stuff live on other animals fur anyway.
and the that "blakenite" person or what ever your name is, there are penguins in Australia. Likely, different breeds of penguins split up years after Noah's ark, so as for what climate they could survive in, it doesn't matter. Besides, the Earth was conjoined at one time; even modern science recognizes this.

how did noah keep the carnivors from eating everything.and if it rained for 40 days and 40 nights and the entire planet was covered with water wouldnt all the plants and everything else die how did they survive after the water dried up. and another thing if there were only 2 of every animal wouldnt that mean that they had sex with there sister or brother to repopulate the planet with that species.

I think he stopped the fleas and mosquito's and ticks at the door but God said to let them come on board.
I think there were a few more bugs hidden in the animals hair. Along with the bugs that were in the timber that the ark was built with.
Then there were the ones that landed on the floating debris.

There is absolutely no way in which a person could build an ark and fill it with two of every animal. Anyone above the age of three who believes that this actually happened is either very stupid or has a screw loose.

my question is how did Noah find two penguins, two polar bear, two elephants...animals from different regions and help them all to survive when each requires different environments. I wonder how Noah and his family took care of the penguins...how he even found them.
Story is TOTAL fictional mythology.

It's like that trick in how to put a bunch of rocks in to a wide-mouthed jar. First of all you put in the big rocks, when those are in the smaller ones can fill up the cavities.
