So what exactly is a "sort"? So he took somewhat over a hundred different pairs of spiders? But only two from the family Felidae? From which common ancestor pair lions, tigers, cougars leopards and the domestic house cat all evolved? In 4000 years or so? Really?  Would you like to try again?

'You can have all the faith you want in spirits, and the afterlife, and heaven and hell, but when it comes to this world, don't be an idiot. Cause you can tell me you put your faith in God to put you through the day, but when it comes time to cross the road, I know you look both ways.' - Dr House “Young earth creationism is essentially the position that all of modern science, 90% of living scientists and 98% of living biologists, all major university biology departments, every major science journal, the American Academy of Sciences, and every major science organization in the world, are all wrong regarding the origins and development of life….but one particular tribe of uneducated, bronze aged, goat herders got it exactly right.” - Chuck Easttom "If my good friend Doctor Gasparri speaks badly of my mother, he can expect to get punched.....You cannot provoke. You cannot insult the faith of others. You cannot make fun of the faith of others. There is a limit." - Pope Francis on freedom of speech
Oh and as to your Btw, I'm afraid my faith involves nothing about pandering to the irrationality of other Christians just because they are Christians. The literal interpretation of the arc story is absurd, and your attempts to make it sound otherwise are embarrassing.

You said that every sort meant every family. There are over a hundred families of spider.
Or do you think that a smaller number of families evolved into a larger number since the ark. The example of felidae is yours. I wonder what the animal which represented that family looked like. As I say, would you like to try again? Or can we agree that noahs ark is at best allegorical. I've heard of micro and macro evolution. The idea that one ancestor developed into lions, and housecats since the ark may require the word turbo evolution to be coined.
