I'm not quite sure what you mean by this - because this sure does sound
like an evolutionist's argument to me.
Certainly you have hit on a point where "practically" speaking a
creationist can't argue against the monstrosity of the event you
describe. A creationist has to rely on his/her faith in the Bible which
clearly teaches that God "brought" the animals to the ark. No
creationist will argue that Noah "collected" the animals himself.

My lack of scientific knowledge and your lack of source make me question
the number you presented....okay I just saw your "correction" in your
next message. There's nothing to say that all of the animals taken on
the ark where full-sized fully, matured ones either...but I digress...
...nobody is going to argue that belief in Noah's ark isn't based on
faith. There are a tonne of questions that you couldn't answer if you
believed in Noah's Ark but not God - like how did Noah know to build an
ark in the first place?
