We know for sure that the whales tolerate fresh water and brackish water is no problem for them. Models of the ark have shown it to be more than sea worthy, you nor anyone can say the ark was not sea worthy because of a few measurements given. Just the placement of a load can make a ship more sea worthy in storms.
Sure, its quite plausable, I mean Noah was only around 500 years old when he built this ship out of gopher wood with primitive tools. Then after the flood fresh water became fresh again, and all of the salt the that oozed into the land simply faded away so that noah could almost instantly start growing grapes to make wine. Noah lived to be 900 some odd years old...and all blacks, chiinese, nordic, native Americans, etc...all evolved from Noahs family.

The man used modern techniques and steel to create this boat. Thanks GC for presenting evidence that it STILL cant be done even in this modern day.

Just what entails a "kind" has never been satisfactorily explained, but apparently it is the creationist equivalent of cladistics. However, this leads to what would be yet another miracle:
Miracle 18: All the "kinds" managed to not just be fruitful and multiply, but to evolve into all the modern species of the world within the space of less than 4000 years.
When I am faced with important, life altering questions such as this...I go to the most unbiased source of logic and reality I can think of:
