Since all life was created 6000 years ago in the Cambrian Explosion (scientists got the decimal point wrong, they meant to say six thousand, not six hundred million or so), there is only a requirement to have a total of 13 kinds on the ark. There's been no change in kinds since. After all, a chordate is still a chordate, right? The ark thus doesn't have to be any larger than a houseboat.
[Sorry, couldn't resist.]

uh... no.A chordate is not just a chordate. Chordata encompasses a huge variety of animals-- sea quirt, fish, amphibians, birds... Really, I hope you are kidding.take care------------------

The longest wooden ship I've heard of is the Wyoming, built around 1900--she was about 325 feet long, which is beyond wood's structural limits, so she was reinforced with steel crossbeams and supports (steel of course, didn't exist in Noah's time!) Even then, the Wyoming's structure wasn't up to the rigors of the sea.

The Chinese of the 14th(?) century built wooden ships in excess of 400 feet, some rumored to have been over 500. At any rate, they dwarfed anything in Europe at the time. I'll look up the links later.------------------
