Hey, wow, nice to be here. Looks like I'm ready to put my foot in a pile of something nasty, as this thread seems to have taken a turn for the worse.
Inching closer to the original topic, why couldn't Noah have had dirt on the arc? It's possible that plants were brought on board, though they may have suffered from a lack of sunlight. If that were the case, then worms would almost certainly have been in the soil.
Worms may have also been used in composting manure, food scraps, and the like, if that wasn't just dumped. What if dirt was used as ballast for the ark? Earthworms would certainly be in there as well, plus a number of other organisms.
