Answer

The dimensions of the ark mentioned in The Bible were more than adequate to hold all the animals stated. The area of the ark was huge, unlike many depictions in books, and well able to hold representatives of all the animals. Additionally, the Bible only mentions that two or seven pairs of each 'kind' entered the ark, not all of the animals living nor all of the species alive at the time which is a common misunderstanding. Some say the Biblical word used - kind - is close to our term 'genus'. Our present day species have developed from the ark's inhabitants. Hence, the ark's dimensions described in the Bible were more than adequate to hold the pairs of animals as mentioned with a minimum internal volume of over 1,500,000 cubic feet.

To believe the previous answer, you must believe in evolution. If evolution happened (happens), then you'll have to accept that the ark story is a myth.

Contrary to popular belief animals did not enter the ark in '2 by 2', as the old songs go. Genesis 7:1-3 says: 1 The LORD then said to Noah, "Go into the ark, you and your whole family, because I have found you righteous in this generation. 2 Take with you seven of every kind of clean animal, a male and its mate, and two of every kind of unclean animal, a male and its mate, 3 and also seven of every kind of bird, male and female, to keep their various kinds alive throughout the earth.
