The Young Earth Creationist mob will have to figure out how did noah fit at least a couple of million species into the ark.


They wouldn't be YECs if they are capable of figuring out.

To be fair, most of those species are probably insects and parasites. That being said, wtf was Noah thinking when he saved Mosquitos and tape worms? Other issues- how did the birds not fly away? The flies? Were they controlled by god?
If so, to prove that, creationists must present evidence of animals being controlled by a supernatural force which makes them walk onto a boat in pairs, sit still with minimal food for eighty days, and then start banging until their population is back up to the mid thousands while successfully navigating the world-wide plague swamp which would result from such a flood.

Oh, and predators must be vegetarians until herbivore numbers are back up to sustainable numbers. (Unicorns, or the lack thereof, are proof that the the predators are bad listeners.)

1. those of us who figure out what BS the ark story and others are, are no longer among the "saved" so we don't count.
2. Mostly distracted by arguing over minutiae of other scriptural fables, opposing homosexuality and other heathen acts such as long hair and tattoos, doesn't leave much time to be reasoned with about the big picture...not that "they" could be. JMO
