The Bible uses the word "kind" and "sort" which have the same meaning as "species".
Ah right now you're moving the goal posts. You asked:

You didn't ask us to name one thing in the Bible given careful and selective interpretation to mean something that could possibly be answered.
But no matter, by saying this you then exacerbate another existing problem. A wooden ark could not have been big enough to two of each species, yet alone many specimens of the same species sorted into similar "kinds".
Because yet again science has falsified the Bible, this time by demonstrating that wooden ships can only be built so large before they sink.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wyoming_(schooner)
Quote:Because of its extreme length and wood construction, Wyoming tended to flex in heavy seas, which would cause the long planks to twist and buckle, thereby allowing sea water to intrude into the hold (see hogging and sagging). Wyoming had to use pumps to keep its hold relatively free of water. In March 1924, it foundered in heavy seas and sank with the loss of all hands.
Strange how the ark conveniently dropped all the animals off back to the same parts of the world from where they came from. Or did they all manage to walk back after the floods receded without leaving behind any fossils?
According to your article, the Wyoming appears to measure 450 ft. overall.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chinese_treasure_ship
Quote:The size and dimensions of the treasures are heavily debated. According to British scientist, historian and sinologist Joseph Needham, the purported dimensions of the largest of these ships were 137 m (450 ft) by 55 m (180 ft), which would make them at least twice as long as the largest European ships at the end of the sixteenth century. These dimensions have been challenged on engineering grounds and on the reliability of their sources; some have claimed they could not have been more than 61–76 m (200–250 feet) or that they could only have been used on special occasions in the relative safety of the lower Yangtze River. However, in 1962 a large rudder was unearthed in the Treasure Ship Yard in Nanjing with dimensions corresponding with a 600-ft long ship.
Oops!

"Kind" and "sort" are synonymous with "species" buddy.
