"Oh, another condition, never an actual answer."

Condition guess that would fit for reason for the flood. The flood was specific to a specific people. That lineage that the Christ was to come through was all but destroyed, Noah and his family were the only ones not polluted.

"OK, how did they build a boat large enough that would be structurally sound?"

You have no proof that the boat was otherwise.

"How many weeks would it take to fill the boat?"

Gen 7:4 For yet seven days, and I will cause it to rain upon the earth forty days and forty nights; and every living substance that I have made will I destroy from off the face of the earth (ground)."

5-9 The boat was loaded.

10. And it came to pass after seven days that the waters of the flood were upon the earth.

The waters prevailed upon the earth an hundred and fifty days.

"What did the animals eat after the flood was over? "

Noah did not leave the ark until the 'dove' came back with an olive leaf, plus another 7 days. The ark floated and rested upon the mountains of Ararat. We are not told if the land on the other side of 'Ararat' was flooded as well.

We are told that God made a wind to pass over the earth, and the waters asswaged; once again took 150 days or 5 months.

Why didn't the lions eat the zebras?

We are not told that lions and zebras were among the animals only that every living thing of all flesh, by two.

I suppose rats, mice, rabbits etc. would procreate quickly enough to feed these.
We are not told what animals were loaded upon the ark, only that two of ALL flesh, that could mean other humans as well.

The animals that were clean for food 7 of each male and female. Fowls of the air by sevens to keep seed alive upon the face of all the earth.

etc etc etc...

Laughable, you want specifics when it helps your side, but you get quite vague when asked for specifics, guess it helps when you can just plead ignorance and claim its a miracle.

So, what about animals like the Koala? Only eats one specific kind of leaf, one that would not be on Ararat, but I guess you think Australia didn't get flooded, or it was a miracle eh?

So during the 150 days, what did the animals eat?

How did they get back home, across oceans to other continents? How did reptiles survive? How did warm weather animals handle being on a mountaintop? How did the carnivores get by without eating other animals?

You will never have a good answer, because it is a story, not reality.

A bit late, but:

What about insects?

How do you explain the other races of man surviving if only Noah and his clan were spared?

What did the animals eat when the Flood was over?

How exactly did they get two of every kind from all over the world? What about the Americas and Australia?

I recall a National Geographic article about how the biblical Flood was actually the result of the creation of the Black Sea, so there may have been a historical basis for it.

As far as the whole dinosaurs and humans thing goes, that is just pure nonsense. H.L. Mencken would have laughed in this clown's face.
