Look, what I'm saying here is, God gave you senses and reason so that you may percieve and make sense of the world (i.e. science), so use those God-given eyeballs, like mainstreem scientists have, and accept reality like God intended.
The problem here is that if you do not take the Bible literally in all areas then you are hard-pressed to justify taking it literally in certain areas. Sure, a literal ark is impossible according to what we know about science, but that also applies equally well to Jesus's miracles such as returning from death. If it is reasonable to use our brains and reasoning to figure out what is real in the ark story, why not do the same in every other part of the Bible?
