Creatios never have answered how you fit millions of animals into a small wooden boat, or how a man could name them all in just a few hours.

You don't understand. The ark was huge (1.5 times the length of a football field, 75 feet wide and 45 feet tall).

Creationists have explained that the Bible speaks of various "kinds" of creatures (perhaps 8,000 "kinds") that diversified and devolved into the variety of "species" now present. Creationists do believe that genetics mutate over generations, but do not believe that genetic information "increases in complexity or usefulness" over generations (as evolutionists contend).

It would not be all that difficult to include the less than 8,000 "kinds" of air-breathing animals (perhaps babies or young animals) in a ship the size of the ark.

A Creationist need not answer this rediculous question as it is not relevant to the Intelligent Design argument.

Straw men never hold up well in arguments.

Here's a question that always nags me about the ark.

How did Noah get species from other climates? Penguins, for instance?

The "babies" hypothesis makes it seem more probable (otherwise, adult elephants, hippos, bovines, seems like it'd get awfully crowded). Thanks for posting that, I don't know if it ever occurred to me.

Which species did duck-billed platypuses devolved from?
And how did they get all the way from Australia to the middle east and back again?
