Silly debate is silly.
At some point, whether it's how the ark was built, how noah managed to fit everything aboard, how he managed to catch all the "kinds" of animal, where the water came from / went, what the animals ate when they left the ark (eg, why the lions dis not wipe out the gazelle 40 seconds after the gates opened), at some point one has to introduce the "nothing is impossible with god" argument. Else it's not a miracle. Whether we need to invoke God magic from square one, how come noah lived so long, or only once or twice, is irrelevant.
If it was all entirely natural, explicable and requires no "God magic", then it ceases to be anything more than a geological event and has no more to do with God than a volcano or tsunami.
GC you're happy to invoke God magic for the resurrection or water into wine, why the effort to suggest that God magic was not at work here?
