Was Noah's ark built from pine wood olive wood maple wood or gopher wood?
According to the Bible, God told Noah to make an ark out of 'gopher' wood, a wood entirely unknown to scholars today. Based on the etymology of the word and the widespread use of reed boats in very early times, some scholars say that gopher wood meant reeds. It has been noted that boats made of reeds were quite seaworthy and could not be engulfed by the waves. Of course, this assumes that the biblical story of Noah's Ark was based on much earlier legends originating at a time before timber construction became normal.
Did Noah take two of every race of people aboard the ark?
The ark was very large. You have to remember he had two of every animal (except a certain few) but not each breed so one breed of dog, one breed of cat and so forth. Obviously he didn't bring aquatic animals because that would have been unneccessary so that frees up a lot of space. If you want to learn more I believe they have a Noah's Ark exhibit with a lifesize ark to give you an idea of how large it really was.
Who came first Noah's ark or Sodom and Gomorrah?
Noah's ark (Gen 6) happened many years before the tower of Babel (Gen 11). Gen 11 discusses the flood as a past event. In the Tower of Babel narrative God does not destroy the tower nor the people but alters people's language so they cannot understand each other.
Is Egyptian culture the oldest culture?
No, Egyptian culture isn't the oldest culture. In fact, Judaism is the oldest one. Jews have been around for thousands of years. Remember Noah's Ark, when Noah and his family were the only survivors? Well, Noah and his family were Jewish.
Could Noah's Ark hold all species of animals?
Yes. The ark was an unusually large ship. This statement "And there are literally millions of land animal species in the world. " by the above author is not true. There are about 21,100 land species in the world. The ark was plenty big enough to hold them all with room left over.
Genesis 6:15 (KJV) And this is the fashion which thou shalt make it of: The length of the ark shall be three hundred cubits, the breadth of it fifty cubits, and the height of it thirty cubits.
Genesis 6:16 (KJV) A window shalt thou make to the ark, and in a cubit shalt thou finish it above; and the door of the ark shalt thou set in the side thereof; with lower, second, and third stories shalt thou make it.
The dimensions were:
length 300 cubits
breadth 50 cubits
height 30 cubits
and the ship was 3 stories tall.
A cubit is 18 inches. So, to put the dimensions into modern measurements we would have
450 feet long (that is 150 feet longer than a football field!)
75 feet wide
45 feet tall
That gives a volume of 1,518,750 feet^3.
That gives plenty of room for all of the non-water dwelling animals to be on board with sufficient food for all and even room left over for many other people to be on board as well.

The average size of an animal is that of a sheep so only about 36% of the ark was used for animals if the figure of 50,000 is used. However, was probably more like 16,000 animals that were present on the ark. That would only be 12% of the ark used for animals. If the ark was totally full then it would hold 138,888 animals.
Baby animals that would grow up to populate the world after the flood were more likely what was on board the ark.
The global flood of Noah's day points to the judgement of God on evil men. As the world was destroyed in the past by a flood because of man's wickedness so too it could be destroyed in the future because of man's wickedness.
Why didnt Noah catch many fish during the voyage on the ark?
Since the Bible does not address this question, the only way to answer it is the way a scientist would if he or she believed that the story of Noah's Ark really happened.
According to the Book of Genesis, the whole world, land and sea, was covered by several kilometres of water. Without canvassing where all this water came from, this has several serious consequences for the survival of fish.
First of all, it seems as if salt-water and fresh water must have mixed in somewhat equal proportions. The ocean waters would have been diluted with so much fresh water that salt-water fish would have died. The fresh water would have been poisoned by so much salt water that fresh-water fish would have died. For these reasons alone, there may have been no fish to catch.
Fish have to eat, just like land animals. There are bottom-feeders in relatively shallow waters; there are fish that rely on sea-weed, again in shallow waters; there are fish that find their nutrients in the run-off from rivers: these would have all been exterminated. Sharks and carnivorous fish that feed off other surface fish would die of starvation, as there would be no prey.
In all, the waters of the world would have quickly become a barren desert with no fish for Noah to catch.
