It looks like God loaded the ark.

They still had to get on, and they only had seven days, so how did it happen?

Yours is a relatively naive question that has a simple answer. I believe it is antagonistic in nature. The calculations as to the number of animals, how large the ark would have to be and how long it took to load have all been made and remade. Only antagonists raise the numbers to make the feat seem impossible. The answers are available. You, however, need to do your own homework. Here's a clue: the ark was three times larger than it needed to be.

Genesis 5:32 says Noah was 500 yrs when the Lord spoke to him about the ark. Genesis 7:6 says he was 600 when the earth was flooded. Thats around 100 years to build the ark and get the animals ready. The dimensions of the ark in Genesis 6:15 would add up to the space of 52 modern boxcars, enough space for every "kind" of animals on the planet.
