Wrong. There would have been far fewer species back then, with ample room to spare on board the ark.

Where do you get this? Have you ever cracked a paleontology book in your life?

Here's something I'm reading in a current Nature article:

Placentals represent most living mammals (1,135 out of 1,229 genera) and are found on all continents and in all oceans¹⁰. Placentals and their extinct stem lineage constitute the Eutheria. More than 4,000 extinct eutherian genera have been named that represent the 65 million years of the Cenozoic, and the majority of these have been assigned to modern placental lineages¹¹. In contrast, only about 40 eutherian genera are known from the 80 million years of the Cretaceous^{4, 6, 11}.

Let me repeat that.

Look at this. There are almost four times as many extinct eutherian genera as living ones. This leads you to a couple of ridiculous conclusions:

All of these fossils come from after the Flood, with only 40 genera (Cretaceous) being pre-Flood. Following the Flood macroevolution occurred at a horrendous rate to produce more than 5000 genera from the initial 40. *boggle* Most of these too must have died off immediately to avoid their existence being recorded by humans. They were so good at avoiding humanity that the vast majority of these animals are never found in the same strata as evidence of human existence.
These fossils are pre-Flood, requiring Noah to transport more than 10,000 mammals on the Ark. His efforts were fruitless as 80% of them died off (who was God punishing, anyway?)

And I haven't even checked reptiles and birds yet, that was just what I happened across. :-)
