If everything has a purpose then evil doesn't exist

[R-Farmer]

And if that was always apart of the plan?

Then the plan stinks, along with the one who made it.

And if you took say, eggs and baby animals instead of full grown adults? If eggs were taken that would represent all avian reptiles and amphibians which would take up a fraction of the space and eliminate the need to feed them.

Then you would not know which is a female egg from a male egg. Also, eggs need to be incubated. And who would feed them when they hatch? When birds fall out of their nest they are dead.

again.. Not a logistical tale of how one man defied God and saved the world on his own by building a boat. God used Noah and his faith in god to save the world meaning Noah did not gather the animals eggs or alive. God sent them to him. Oh, and all one needs is a 100*F +\- heat source for about 3 to 6 weeks for most incubation cycles. Which is not a problem in the summer months. On top of that composting hay will get between 120 and 140*F in the center of the pile. it gets cooler towards the outside.

All I'm pointing out is if animals were loaded up in their baby form 90% of the space you think is needed isn't.
