and biologists estimate 10 to 30 million total species on the planet. This is all living organisms. But even at 1.7 million, my question is how did Noah fit them all on the arc? I am not trying to start an argument, I simply would like someone to explain to me how it is physically possible to fit so many forms of life on a boat. I have read the bible and I know that part of the story but I need some clarification here, I just can't reconcile this. I also know that not all species would have been on the arc but that also does not take in to account all of the extinct animals that would have been alive during the flood considering the Earth would only be 6000 years old if this is correct.
Again, I am not trying to pick a fight, start an argument or anything malicious. I just would like honest answers of how to justify this in my mind without just saying its because of faith.
If you are planing to ridicule anyone anyone for how they might respond, please leave it in another thread.
Thank you.
I forgot to add, my cousin is a staunch creationist, with a B.S. from Tulane no less. We have been debating this stuff for a few years now and some of the evidence she shows me is really interesting.
