## Whose estimates? Many animals are much larger than sheep. The bible
doesn't say they were all "small" animals. What about all the world's
birds, insects, bugs, reptiles, snails etc? One Jehovah's Witness elder
told us there had to be at least 1,000,000 creatures on the Ark.

## That is not a fact. Many animals must have specialized diets or they
will die - and quickly.

## You're comparing apples and shoes. After even 30 days of submersion the
earth would indeed be a stinking, unsanitary mess of rotting vegetation and
the corpses of the deceased animals, people and freshwater creatures.

## Please check out talk.origins for more information on the flood. There
is no evidence of a worldwide flood nor evidence the whole earth was flat as
a pancake only 4000 years ago.
