Over the period of 120 years Noah and family built an ark which measured from 437 feet to 512 feet in length and three stories high. The volume of this vessel is the equivalent of 569 standard railroad boxcars. Now from what I indicated before regarding the need of only one pair of every animal species, it could have been as little as 2,000 individual animals on the ark. The ark volume could have fit eight times that number with adequate room for provisions.
I would say that size of the ark is a small factor easily explained. A greater concern would have been securing the animals on the boat, the handling of food and the removal of waste. Animals would need cages or harnesses to keep them from getting hurt. There is no doubt that feeders would have been used to minimize the work of feeding of the animals. The removal of waste could have been as simple as the use of a little water on a sloped floor allowing the manure to run to a central location. All in all, alot of work - but do able.
I believe the Bible and there is no doubt that God’s word is true. God destroyed the first world by water because of their wickedness. We are told that Noah found grace in the eyes of God (Genesis 6:8) that Noah had faith in God and the coming Messiah (Hebrews 11:7). That God was merciful to Noah and his family and delivered them from destruction. When the destruction was over, Noah came from the ark and God said that he would never destroy the world again by water (Genesis 9:11). However there is a day when God is going to destroy the world with fire and deliver those which are His people into a new heaven and earth to dwell forevermore (1 Peter 3:20). Those that lived in Noah’s day ignored his preaching of a coming flood, are you going to make the same mistake, and ignore the warning of a coming judgment?

Don't build an all wooden ark like it says Noah, did would sink in minutes if it is of good size.

You would do as Noah did and lash several small container vessels together as one unit. Even by todays engineering standards, a vessel as described in the Bible would be impossible to build and keep afloat for over a month.

We can build one much better than Noah could have. Have you seen the size of cruise ships nowadays?
For starters, you could engineer it with a computer. It would resemble a jumbo oil tanker.
