   Estimates place the number of animals to about ~50,000,  the average size of

   No reason to think the conditions were stormy all the time and in every   
   location, besides, the Ark was built to float, not sail around. It's a   
   proven fact animals can make do with what is available.

   Not really, the analogy is quite good.  The mechanics of how the pyramids   
   were built is a mystery.  Clearly that ancient civilization possessed a   
   number of advanced skills to build them.  We still don't know how it was   
   done.  The same could be said of the Ark.

   Considering the planet is 70% covered by water, it's not a stretch at all.   
   And mounds of evidence is available to back it, starting with huge mixed   
   fossils deposits found in what could only be described by rapid burial.   
   Evidence like that  is found all over the earth.   
      
     "A week's study of the Grand Canyon should be a good cure for Evolutionary   
   geologists as it is a perfect example of Flood geology with its   
   paraconformities and striking parallelisms of the under strata.   
   The whole area was obviously laid down quickly, then uplifted and then the   
   whole sedimentary area split open like a rotten watermelon."
