Refuting Creationist Claims - Part 1: Noah's Ark

Refuting Creationist Claims - Part 1: Noah's Ark
We all know what the myth of Noah's Ark is, right?
The story goes like this:
God gets extremely pissed at HIS creation (due to the sin on Earth that was all part of his plan) and decides to destroy it in a worldwide flood. But here's the catch: He orders a six-hundred year-old man, alongside his three sons built a large wooden vessel with the capacity to carry two of every species of terrestrial animal that inhabits the planet -
Including:

And...

So, within sixty years, without any modern construction equipment, the four manage to build this massive structure. Suddenly, the entire Earth is covered by at least one mile, raising the sea level up by thirty-thousand feet. Oh, did I forget to mention that all the fish would have died due to the brackish water resulting from the flood? For one year, with enough food stored to feed two Tyrannosaurus Rex'es, they stay on their voyage.
Afterwards, (through the means of magic) the water level returns back to its original level, and the family of eight practice enough incest to create seven billion people within the next four-thousand years.
La Finish.

I did make light of that old Judeo-Christian myth, but I'm scared by the fact that over two out of five of my fellow Americans could honestly believe in such ridiculous garbage. Animals with specialized diets on a fucking wooden boat that would sail for a year's time? Are they fucking kidding with me?
How could an omnibenevolent deity carry out such cruel measurements for the flaws in his creation?
Making people, including pregnant women, infants, the disabled, the mentally-challenged, and other weak die a miserable death while attempting to take a breath in order to please their tired lungs?
These are all questions I ask creationists.
Those goddamed ignorant pieces-of-shit are blinded by their faith to the point at which atrocities are acceptable, which is BULLSHIT.
But, getting back to topic, as I was saying, creating a ship that size with four men building it is utterly impossible.
First of all, (according to the King James Bible) the supposed vessel would have measured three-hundred cubits in length, fifty cubits in width, and thirty cubits in height.
A cubit equates to about eighteen inches, therefore meaning that the supposed ark would have measured seven-hundred and fifty feet in length, seventy-five feet in width, and forty-five feet in height.
Making the assumption that it'd be shaped as a rectangular prism, then that'd mean it'd be 1,687,500 cubic feet in volume, with each animal having less than 11 cubic inches of space, almost one-fifth of how much room is given to a chicken in a battery cage!
With this physical impossibility, what do you have to say now, creationists?
