Animals are one thing, but for us to have all the other species that are around today without evolution, at some point Noah must have put everything from a pair of Giant Redwoods, Joshua Trees, some lichen, and various species of cacti on this arc, keeping them all watered and in the proper conditions for growth. Then he had to return them all to their diverse ecosystems. I can just see him leaving the arc parked on some beach as he journeyed inland to deliver a single prickly pear cactus to the interior of California... when he got back the venus fly trap probably would have died, along with all the unfed animals. All the while mennigococcus and the malaria-carrying mosquitoes are wondering when they can be let loose.
People don't actually believe this do they? I'm assuming they are just trolls or people who are so scientifically un-curious that they haven't given it a second's thought.
That's the easy part. They floated around for 150 days before grounding on a thoroughly sterilized land. Then the herbivores had to eat to reproduce, and their offspring had to survive to reproduce, etc., until there was a viable population of all food animals to keep the predators alive.
Meanwhile the predators ate at McDonald's until that was done.
This explains their claims of mutations.
