Life sized replica of noah's ark currently under construction

- If there are only two of each animal, wouldn't that mean that they're offspring will have to mate which would cause fatal genetic disorders? How did Noah over come that problem? Even today with our technology we would have a hard time solving that problem.
- How do you apply different temperatures on a single ship? Since many animals require certain environmental conditions in order to survive.
- How do you solve the problem of disease?
- How do you fit all 8.7 million species on a single ship plus all the different variety of food to sustain them?
- How did Noah know about the flood? Since he would need to know long before it actually happened so he'd have plenty of time to build the ship and gather all 8.7 million species of animal.
- How did Noah know which animal would need which kind of food?

The answer is that Noah put them into suspended animation, and that there would be much fewer species, so that they could fit on there. Of course, that would mean that a lot of different species would have to branch off into many different species in less than 4000 years. Yes, I have actually heard counter-arguments like that, and no, they didn't make it seem any more plausible.

P.S. I did a little bit of research, and I learned that, if they're going to create an all-wooden boat that's supposed to be full-size (450 feet), it's going to be way too big to be seaworthy. The longest all-wooden ships on record are the HMS Orlando and Mersey. Both of these ships had significant problems staying afloat and were eventually scrapped. One running theme that one sees when one looks at the longest wooden ships ever is that the wood of those boats ended up flexing a lot, leading to the Hulls' splitting and needing to be pumped almost constantly, and that only did so much.

I honestly think that, even if the animal load is lessened, the voyage will be a spectacular failure, unless he chickens out and creates another ship made out of metal and sails that.
