Actually all you have to do is read the book I mentioned earlier. Then if you have issues with it at least we will have something to debate.

Here are some of the numbers (from the book) of the Ark’s contents:

​

Empty Ark- 4,000 tons (all the pens, support beams, etc.); biomass at the start of the Flood- 111 tons; biomass at the end of the Flood- 411 tons; food at the start of the Flood- 2,500 tons; water at the start of the Flood- 4,070 tons. According to the study by Hong et al., the spare mass would be 6,000 tons.

​

One more thing- I am neither a Christian nor a fundamentalist, yet I am a Creationist. As a matter of fact I know many Muslims, Jewish people, Hindus and Buddhists that are also Creationists. That shoots down one of your claims in another thread (that Creationists were Christians).

So how did Noahs family keep all these animals alive? How did they keep them from eating each other?The Philadelphia ZOO employs about 400 people FULL TIME, and there are about 1800 animals housed at this ZOO. I can guarantee you that more then 2% (8 people out of 400) are employed full time to feed and take care of these 1800 animals. How did Noah and his small family keep these animals alive?Scientific Evidence Please...

Gen 8:13 - And it came to pass in the six hundredth and first year, in the first month, the first day of the month, the waters were dried up from off the earth: and Noah removed the covering of the ark, and looked, and, behold, the face of the ground was dry.January 1st 601BC?Don't you find it strange that JP gives us the general design of the ARK, but no date for the flood. Yet, we can find reference to the date, but no reference of a large rectangular barge type ARK.

So how did Noahs family keep all these animals alive? How did they keep them from eating each other? There must have been more then just Noahs family on-board to feed and take care of all these animals.The Philadelphia ZOO employs about 400 people FULL TIME, and there are about 1800 animals housed at this ZOO. I can guarantee you that more then 2% (8 people out of 400) are employed full time to feed and take care of these 1800 animals. How did Noah and his small family keep these animals alive?You don't really believe David Blain performs magic do you?

I will attempt to answer this one for you quicksink.Please choose the answer that best suits your belief:
1. God put more people on the ship to help Noahs family feed and take care of the animals.
2. God gave Noahs family supernatural powers, so just a few of them could feed and take care of the animals.
3. God looked after them, while Noahs family enjoyed the cruise of their lifetime!
4. The animals were given supernatural powers, and they didn't have to eat. Instead God put them into a deep sleep that lasted the entire flood.
5. Noahs Ark is just a story!

--Take into account lethargy, a large quantity of the present animals on-board would become drastically lethargic, decreasing metabolism and activity, thus the need for care. And why would anything eat anything else if it had not desire to. [/QUOTE][/b]
As schrafinator already pointed out to some extent, that many of these animals NEED excercise. Being lethargic would be detrimental to their health, it also doesn't meen that it would be ok just to leave them, the animals would still require the same level of care. As for your comment on why would anything eat anything else if it had no desire to? It's called instinct!!! Why do they segregate animals in the zoo? [QUOTE][b]

Please read message 9 from JP. You'll notice that JP compares feeding these animals to "How do they feed them in the Zoo".You didn't answer the question: How did 8 people take care of over 15 000 animals (although I think there would have been many more)?I use the Philadalphia ZOO as an example of how many people are required to take care of wild animals.
