Hmm...If the earth completely flooded, wouldn't all bodies of water had been connected? Meaning all bodies of water would have become salt-water, that in mind, wouldn't all freshwater animals had died? I'm giving you the benefit of the doubt and saying Noah didn't bring them on the Ark..
Oh one more, this was buggin' me too..
There are certain animals that /only/ eat certain animals or plants. Did Noah actually have every kind of soil on the Ark, growing every kind of plant to keep the animals alive? Even weirder, how did he feed those animals that only eat a certain type of OTHER animal. Example, there's a certain bird that only eats a certain type of snail.. Now since both the snail species, and the bird species still exist, I guess they didn't die in the flood. How did he feed the bird if he only brought two of them snails?
No flaming please, serious questions.

The bible says that only animals that had "the breath of life in their nostrils" were on the ark. Water based animals are not included in this, nor were insects or for that matter or snails.
I don't know how Noah kept the animals on board alive and I don't know about other animals that were in the water.

You seem to forget we are talking about God here. God can do anything, anytime He wants He does not need our permission.
No animals (including man) was created to eat meat.
And what makes you think Noah went around collecting up the animals?
You really think God did not have the animals come to Noah?
You guys never seise to amaze me.

Really, most fish are either fresh water or salt water, and the diluted oceans would've meant dead saltwater fish.
And things like minnows, guppies, salmon...they'd die from all the dirt in the water.

You do realize that a miracle, by definition, is going to be something that is scientifically impossible to explain (that is what qualifies it a miracle in the first place).
