Oh, come, come now. They didn't really mean that every SPECIES of animal
went in the ark. Just every KIND. So there was plenty of room. And the kinds
must have quick-evolved back into all the species... er, oops, I said a
naughty word. There IS no evolution. The bible says so right here on page...
er, oops, well it doesn't actually SAY that, we just INTERPRET it to say
that. Er, oops, I said a naughty word, interpret. We shouldn't be
interpreting the bible, we need to take it literally. Oops, but it was
written by imperfect man... oops oops oops!
