I sometimes lose sight of the fact that there are otherwise reasonable people that are legitimately terrified of the idea of hell. So much so, that they become a mental contortionist in an attempt to reconcile what they accept as truth, evolution in this case, with conflicting Biblical accounts. They have been taught that the Bible is the true inerrant word of God and that they are going to hell if they don't accept it (we must also ignore for the moment that this isn't in accordance with learned theology).
This kinds business is nothing more than an attempt to reconcile the known size of the imaginary ark with the number of species that were to have been aboard.
