Because the boat would fill with poop.
Because the animals would kill each other.
Because the animals wouldn't all fit.
Because the animals (and humans, actually) wouldn't have enough genetic diversity to speciate.
Because the herbivores would have no food.
Because every time the carnivores ate an animal, that animal would go extinct.
Because the mixture of salt and fresh water would kill all aquatic life.
Unless your Gaud just fixed all that with magic, but the text sure doesn't say that. It's almost like the people writing this didn't know this stuff...hmmm...
Not even that a ship of that size would be ripped apart. There is limit to how big you can build a wooden ship and the ARK in the bible
is not even sea worthy not even the one in the creationists museum.
I've often challenged believers to provide the stowage and stability calculations for the ark and its cargo. Unsurprisingly, no one ever seems interested in doing so. Of course, they'd just pull the "God magic card" anyway to pretend to explain the unexplainable, like they always do.
