i havent read this thread fully as it was too long - but noahs ark is not an impossibility-
the bible states that noah took one of each "kind" onto the ark.
as many animals (domestic dogs for example) are bred from wolves, it was only wolves needed. thats a lot less animals.
many other animals that are very similar and that come from an original animal were therefore not needed.
"The Bible slants the truth towards the people who wrote it, just like all similar cultural epics. "
in relation to this quote-evolution slants to those people who are always trying to disprove creation
the bible provides answers before any question was asked-it is evolutionists who are trying to disprove the bible's words,
everytime an evolutionary theory is proved to be wrong it is called a "mistake" or the workings of some unreliable scientist or the workings were false and thrown out the door without it being made public notice.

the point i put across, i did not make clear, was an idea i had heard from someone in a discussion on the topic of this post - my view is that noah took lots of animals in
but the view i put across above is i think, a mix of natural selection-type and creationist views - there were the orginal types of animals (wolves, horses etc) which meant that there were not so many needed - these eventually became the deiffernet types after the flood (types meaning here wolves, domestic dogs, etc)
one point i will put across as mine is that the animals could easily have been on te ark and not eaten eachother and not produced large amounts of waste - the temperature would have been very hot in the region, and when animals are kept still and in very hot temperatures they sleep most of the time, therefore eating less and creating less waste.
