There are 4260 different species of mammals in the world
There are 7712 different species of reptiles in the world
There are 5383 different species of amphibians in the world
There are over 10,000 different species of birds in the world
There are over 750,000 different species of insects in the world


And you're telling me that a guy named Noah collected two of each of these by himself and had enough room on his ship for all the food/waste/etc associated with all these creatures?

Largest passenger ship right now is...6000 passengers?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oasis_of_the_Seas

So like...12,000 humans once you account for crew. And most animals are a lot smaller than humans. Ok sure.

Although...how did one person build a ship that big?

And how did carnivores eat, afterward? Was Noah very diligent about making sure every species at the bottom of the food chain procreated before anything higher up consumed it?

Considering the flood was massive enough to cover mountains, the air would be too thin for birds to fly.

Twice? Wait, when did he die a second time?

And he resurrected Lazarus, so he can't be that lazy.

Most species are very small, so you could fit them all on a large ark. You can fit probably tens of thousands of insect species in the same space you need for the elephants.

Also, with the bread, the point of that is that it was a miracle. That means, it is impossible by the laws of physics, but God made it happen.

And remember the power of volume. Say an elephant is as tall as 100 insects, as long as 200 insects, and as wide as 70 insects. Then you can fit 100 x 200 x 70 = 140,000 insects in the same space as 1 elephant.

But did the mass amounts of fresh water from the torrential rain dilute the salinity to make it unlivable for salt water fish? How would Noah know either way going into it?

Yeah, an elephant needs more space than it's body volume to survive too. But there's plenty of room on an ark as large as the one for which the measurements are given in the Bible. Feeding them is more difficult, but presumably if God can get all those species to come aboard the ark, he can deal with that too.
