I disagree, they do.

For the sake of realism, imagine waiting at a railroad crossing while ten freight trains, each pulling 52 boxcars, move slowly by, one after another. That is how much space was available in the Ark, for its capacity was equivalent to 520 modern railroad stock cars. A barge of such gigantic size, with its thousands of built-in compartments (Gen. 6:14) would have been sufficiently large to carry two of every species of air-breathing animal in the world today (and doubtless the tendency toward taxonomic splitting has produced more “species” than can be justified in terms of Genesis “kinds”) on only half of its available deck space. The remaining space would have been occupied by Noah’s family, five additional representatives of each of the comparatively few kinds of animals acceptable for sacrifice, two each of the kinds that have become extinct since the Flood, and food for them all

That's not an argument, that's Sunday school Bible lesson to the kids. That is all a statement that is intended for.
The first red flag is the word ‘imagine’, just like John Lennon's Marxist song of same name.

Thanks for illustrating my point. Creationism is a bunch of rock throwers living in the most fragile glass house repeating 'don't look over HERE, look THERE instead keep looking there '

Creations 'arguing' reminds me of Sodom and Gomorrah, 'Dont look back at us, look at them'

There are 8.7 million (±1.3 million) species on Earth.

They could not fit into 520 box cars.

Now enough bread for a multitude of people couldn’t fit into a basket either. This was a miracle, by definition supernatural.

Now if you want to believe that God MIRACULOUSLY crammed 17.4 million creatures into the Ark fine but don’t try to tell me it happen within the natural world. You just look like a fool.
