'then firstly I would have to wonder where all the unclean animals of the earth came from, as God instructed Noah to take clean animals onto the ark before the great flood'
This implies that you believe that Noah didn't take any unclean animals aboard the big boat, but Genesis 7:2 says....
Take with you seven of every kind of clean animal, a male and its mate, and two of every kind of unclean animal, a male and its mate,
More problematic to this myth is the source of food for the carnivores after disembarking from the Ark. Since there was nothing left alive on the Earth, apart from the inhabitants of the Ark, then what did the carnivores eatafter they left the Ark?

Re: my bad
Noah's Flood is a myth, they didn't feed any animals or fit them on a boat, none of these things happened at all.
To understand the Bible you need to distance yourself from it, you need to understand that the authors were writing for specifics purposes, they weren't interested in historical or scientific accuracy (and it shows), they were interested in getting their points across. This could be a myth like Noah's to illustrate, amongst other things, how powerful God is, or the plagues on Egypt that also shows God's power, or even the resurrection of Christ myth to show that God can forgive our sins, albeit we HAVE to torture and murder his son first.
Best wishes.
