Noah put it all in cold storage, and it was preserved for Kent Hovind and Harun Yahya to distribute at this time.

And I only give a very few because I'm lazy. Many, many more species, genera, and whole families of animals have gone extinct that are currently alive. And the clade Dinosauria isn't extinct - we just call them "birds" these days.

When's the last time you saw a trilobite? A placoderm? An ammonite?
You have no idea what you're talking about.

that the flood happened as per his discoveries of the Black Sea once being full of salt water and of civilization 300 or so feet below the surface of the sea.
The filling of the Black Sea hardly offers much comfort for a literalist Noah's flood, though. According to Ryan and Pitman's research, popularized in their book called Noah's Flood, the Black Sea was a lake fed by the Danube, etc, until about 7500 years ago, long before your worldview has people existing. Rising sea levels due to melting ice caps finally breached a natural barrier where the Bosporus is now, and the Mediterranean filled the Black to its present size over a few years. Dramatic for the people that had houses by the lake, sure, but hardly "worldwide" or 15 cubits over the highest mountains - they had to walk away from home, maybe sort of quickly - but no 450-foot square boat was necessary or even plausible. That part, in their scenario, was left to oral traditions that surfaced later in the Epic of Gilgamesh and then the Noah story. Oral traditions have a way of getting a little embellished over time....
And yes, after R & P wrote the book, Geographic sponsored a program to find ruins near the old lakeshore. One probable ruin of a building, IIRC, showed up on sonar.
I have yet to see anything remotely resembling evidence for the location of this "ark" - Ron Wyatt's silly website doesn't count as evidence, just as a con job.

Cite one shred of archaeological evidence for a supernatural event. It doesn't even have to be Biblical: something at Troy or one of Grendel's dam's teeth will do.

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.
Many die an awful lot under that sort of conditions, too. How many of a pair of animals need to die to assure their extinction?
