Vishal: Yeah....the animals would be contracted in the direction of motion, so you could fit more of them next to each other.

No. The animals would have undergone the same spatial expansions as the Ark.
Also, doesn't increasing speed cause shortening, and not lengthening?
EDIT:
I checked, and rods get shorter when they experience acceleration. (See source, paragraph 5)
As far as I can tell (and I'm a layperson, not a scientist) the best that Noah could really hope for was spinning the animals (and not the ark) fast enough for them to decrease in size enough for them to all fit on the ark. Of course, this would have required far more energy than was available to Noah but I'll conveniently ignore that fact for now.
EDIT 2: I think I get what you mean now.

maybe you didnt understand relativity.... in the reference frame of the boat and everything on it, it would remain the same size as if it were at rest. it is only from the OUTSIDE perspective in which the boat would be moving at relativistic speeds and APPEAR to be a different size. the animals would be just as cramped as before, because they are still the same, and still have the same mass and still take up the same amount of space... nice try though

No. Noah was able to fit all the animals in the ark because he built it according to God's commands. God did the rest.

Yes, perhaps. I do not see where in the bible it says that he did not. I believe "all the animals" applies to the animals in that region, however. Not the animals of the Americas and Asia and the rest of the world.

Noah was apparently the Cris Angel of his day. Unfortunately, this makes his works all illusions.

Ark spinning was a very popular skill in Ancient Mesopotamia.
***UPDATE***
MeatBot, do you realize someone asked a question about you earlier? See my answers for the link. I called you a friend. I hope your not offended.

no he fit them all inside with their genetic DNA encoded on a ME (which is sumerian for a computer disc)

That was unnecessary. He just walked them in the door.
