So, 50 "kinds" of dinosaurs, plus all the other "kinds" of animals.
Can you point me to a resource where all the "kinds" of animals that were on the Ark are listed? I mean, there are million's (or is it billions) of species alive today, so that is either one massive ark (where all the creatures were kept fed and cleaned for 40 days - and apparently nights - by just one family) or since the flood there has been some huge amounts of mutations going on very rapidly.
A few extra points:
1) So, if the Dino's were on the Ark, and they also had time to evolve/mutate after the flood - because there are a lot more than 50 types of Dinosaurs cataloged, what happened to them? At what point did they die out?
2) How (and why) the hell did the duck billed platypus migrate from the middle east, all the way to Australia? Not exactly the fastest creature on land, requires freshwater rivers for life, etc. Actually, isn't it just a little strange for you why certain animals are only found in certain parts of the world when according to your beliefs, the ark stopped in the middle east and all the animals disembarked there.
3) Did the Ark have environmental conditioning? Plenty of creatures who require specific environments to survive - freshwater fish vs saltwater fish, polar creatures adapted to the extreme cold, desert creatures adapted to dry conditions.
4) Plants. 40 days submerged under the oceans is going to kill a lot of plant life I would have thought. Why didn't God think of the plants? Bad enough to kill off the animals who were faultless for man's behavior, but the poor plants were left to die.
A finite number of monkeys with a finite number of typewriters and a finite amount of time could eventually reproduce 4chan.
