The Book of Genesis is all allegory.

To answer your question, God made sure that everything he wanted on the ark, was there when the flood came, Where are the giants, First of all you have the scriptures incorrect, They were not children from God or as some says angels coming down, & earth women, they were seed line from Cain which was not a Son of Adam but of the serpent which was an upright creature before the curse, Gen.6:1-6 These Sons of God was Adam seed line, Adam seed line & the serpent seed line did not mix until many years later, Those Son of God is none other then Adams seed line & those daughters of men was Cain seed line, Now when you mentioned giants, don't think men were 20 ft tall, but the avearge size of man was about 5 ft. 10 in. Then when those gaints were born you are looking at 7 footers & so on, & you want to know where is the garden of eden, Gen.2:10-15 From First river called Pison, 2nd river, Gihon,3rd river Hiddekel, & the 4th river is euphtrates. & men has lived there ever ince the fall, God only took his majestic glory away from man kind. & Noah ark is on mount arat(maybe not spell corectly.) & Sodom & Gommorah is sunk under the ground by a volcano. Yes God sent that Volcano for that purpose.

I believe the archeological digs are proving the Bible to be true! God sent the animals in two by two (seven of each clean animal to be used for food and sacriices after the Flood.) Noah's ark is on Mt. Aarat in Turkey - frozen in a glacier. God took the Garden of Eden up to heaven before destroying the earth with a world-wide Flood.l Sodom & Gomorrah were burned up completely because of homosexuality and is now the Dead Sea., I think The giants were born to the sons of God (followers of God) and the pagan women on earth and there are still some giants around.

1) Moses did not carry billions of animals, he carried 2 of each animal, 2 dogs, 2 elephants etc. Plus those to sacrifice and those to be eaten while on the ark. Take dogs for example, almost all of today's dogs came from the Wolf. That's how it is with almost all animals.
2) The ark came to rest on Mount Ararat. People claim to have seen it or some of it. But I don't know if that's true. There have been reports of people bringing chunks of wood that they said they found on the mountain, that were confirmed to be of the type of wood Noah used when building the ark and the age was correct also. However, since Mount Ararat is bordered by Iran and Turkey, they do not allow most exploration.
3) The only people that were worthy at that time to be saved from the flood were Noah's family, which included his wife, 3 sons and their wives. There have been many reports of archaeologists finding large human skeletal remains, though, in different parts of the world.
4) No one knows where the Garden of Eden was, as Adam and Eve were cursed and sent out of it. It has disappeared to time. If it was anywhere in Florida, it has disappeared to developers.
5) Sodom and Gomorrah were so filled with evil that God destroyed them with fire from Heaven. Tradition says that these cities were located on the plains of Jordan. But, since God utterly destroyed them, any remains are probably unidentifiable.

The genetic material capable of producing the species we see today is quite possible to have in the number of creatures he could put in the ark. The giants (nephilim) were hybrid offspring of demons and women. They were killed in the flood.
"The original site of the garden of Eden is conjectural. The principal means of identifying its geographic location is the Bible’s description of the river “issuing out of Eden,” which thereafter divided into four “heads,” producing the rivers named as the Euphrates, Hiddekel, Pishon, and Gihon. (Ge 2:10-14) The Euphrates (Heb., Perath′) is well known, and “Hiddekel” is the name used for the Tigris in ancient inscriptions. (Compare also Da 10:4.) The other two rivers, the Pishon and the Gihon, however, are unidentified."
Many scholars believe that the original sites of Sodom and the other “cities of the District” now lie submerged beneath the waters of the Dead Sea, though some others recently have claimed that the ruins of the cities may be identified with sites along wadis to the E and SE of the Dead Sea.
Lack of archeological proof is not disproof of the Genesis account.
Nice try though...

First of all, even though it sounds impossible, there is not one shred of evidence that DISPROVES the story of Noah. I would imagine that his ark is the same place that other boats that are thousands of years old: Decayed.
What giants? I don't know anything about that story. However, there are still people who are quite tall.
Eden can never and will never be found.
Sodom and Gomorrah haven't been found, but the valley in which they were built HAS been. Try this site:

Not species, kinds. Species can evolve from a kind, like a sort of template, if you will. Look at all the different types of whales, or cats and whatnot; if some creature contained all the necessary genetic information of that "kind" then you'd wind up with something that can produce the various species we see today. Whether or not it happened that way, you make the call.
For the giants, I think one of them plays in the NBA..
As for Eden, it was destroyed in the flood involved in that Noah guy you mentioned; the world was radically altered and reshaped.
I'm pretty sure you can discover answers to these in a good Study Bible, if you're interested.

A couple answers:
There were not billions of animals on the ark. Merely two of every kind. (Not species, kind).
The flood would have done away with the garden of Eden -- and everything else for that matter. There's hardly any way that we would be able to find that stuff again.

A book that raises more questions than it gives answers, is not a book of facts. It is written when the world was a very small place.
It is like Roswell, Bigfoot and UFOs, it is a subject you will never know because 50% is made up stories, 25% is truth and 25% is where you read one line and come up with two unanswerable questions.

Archeology is wrong. Noah's ark disintegrated. The giants are asleep. Eden is under water. Sodom and Gomorrah were destroyed...gosh, you have no imagination!

The flood story is fiction, as is much (possibly all) of the rest of Genesis. It is tales handed down from ancient storytellers, of the same level of veracity as stories about the earth being supported on the back of a giant turtle.
