For further information on my #10 post. There are approximately the following species that had to be on the ark.

The best translaion of "kinds" seems to be 'genus' not 'species'. That would narrow the numbers considerable and make more sense, wouldn't it?

Perhaps genus makes more sense than species but then if all the animals that were not included were killed by the flood then wre did all the new animals come from? Did they evolve from the single genus that was included? It seems unlikely that the great diversity of species that we have today could evolve in shuch a short time. Further, if they did evolve in such a short time we would see continued changes in the species that would be so rapid that we could observe it in our life time.
