Here are just a few problems with the ark.
- It's 450 feet long by 300 feet high by 75 feet wide. I would like to point out that at a certain length (something less than 300 feet), ships invariably begin to get less and less seaworthy. You simply cannot entrust something you can't expect to stay afloat with the preservation of life on Earth.
- By simple calculation, the Ark had a volume of 10,125,000 cubic feet, which is not likely to contain all 8.7 million species estimated to live on Earth.
- To get around this, some creationists note that Noah did not take two of every species, but two of every "kind". Apart from the fact that they have never given an adequate definition of "kind," even if they could get the number small enough to fit on the ark, this would, ironically enough, not only actually require evolution (and speciation specifically) to happen, but to happen at such an alarming rate that nobody could deny it.
