If Noah's ark is a fable, it is NOT because it the science demands it be.
Right...let's say, for the sake of conversation, that the ark did contain only land-based species.
How would Noah & his helpers keep the animals from fighting & killing each other? It seems like quite a lot to ask an ark full of rhinos, gorillas, ostriches, gila monsters, ocelots, & three-toed sloths to play nicely. And what about the animals that must have been unknown to that region of the world? And how many tons of food would the ark have to hold, not to mention the diversity of each species' diets? How would they have gotten rid of what must have been tons & tons of waste a day?

Science is unnecessary when common sense will do.

Ever heard of Hybernation?

So Noah put every little living thing in hybernation for a year? There are also well over 1,000,000 species of insects worldwide. Did Noah wander around with a butterfly net, or did all these insects just show up with their boarding passes when the rains started? Almost no insects live in a completly aquatic enviroment. Did he just wave his wand and all these insects drift off to sleep for a year also? Plant life is not mentioned, but there are no plants that would survive even 40 days underwater. If everything on earth was covered, then the depth of the additional H20 would have to exceed 29,000 feet. Where is that water coming from?
