I'm hoping nobody is really serious about this. In my reading of the Bible, this literal an interpretation robs the inspired text of its moral power: if it "just happened" that way, where's the lesson? We all know that all the life forms in the world couldn't fit into a single ship, and that one person wouldn't be in a position to gather them all together even if they could. We do know that, right?

We know that, but there are a lot of gullible idiots in the world, and a lot of plastic-haired preachers to take their money.

I know I am late with this responce, however. It wasn't 1 man.

You obviously do not read the bible. 4 men and 4 women.

And if you read scripture, only the "unclean animals went in by two, the clean went in by seven.

The Ark was close to the size of a WWII aircraft Carrier and took about 100 years to build.

God closed the door - it rained and the springs from under the earth released for 40 days, then it took almost another year to have the earth dry up.

It happened... the ark has been found.
