What held the wood together in Noah's Ark?
The world has (and once had many) tarpits of natural tar and oil, and the wood Noah used was wood soaked in it for years. In fact they trusted this stuff because when sealing the door with tar and oil, the ark was then lifted by 40 feet of water that very day and its draught of 22 feet into the water covered that 2nd floor door with water. Further, the claim that gopher wood is not a type of tree but the tar treatment seems to be proven by the fact that inside the ark are many walls that were made not of wood but of reeds also soaked with this tar.

Methuselah was Noah's grandfather and Enoch was Noah's great grandfather (Genesis ch.5).
Did Noah have a preying mantis on the ark?
Since the Ark is made entirely of wood, it would not be wise to bring Termites inside the Ark. So my guess is that, Noah did not bring termites inside the Ark. This goes for woodpeckers too. Answer Genisis states that God brought two of every kind of animal to Noah to store on the ark. That includes lions, dogs, monkeys, dinosaurs, termites, and yes, woodpeckers too. Assuming that the the flood really occurred and that good created all creatures before the flood there are two possibility's A boy termite and a girl termite were brought onto the ark or termites survived the flood in a piece of drift wood.
What was Noah's ark and flood all about?
After Adam and Eve sinned, evil came into the world and grew and grew until one day God realized that they only person who was loyal to him was Noah and his family. Everyone else was evil and corrupt. So God commanded Noah to build an ark on dry land, and all his neighbors laughed at him because he had built a giant boat with no way of getting it to the water. Even though he was mocked Noah continued to build. Then God commanded Noah to get a pair of each animal from every corner of the earth, one male and one female into the boat. So Noah opened up the great doors of the ark and each animal filed one by one into the boat. Then Noah and his wife and his sons and their wives boarded the boat and sealed the doors. Then God sent a mighty storm and it rained for forty days and forty nights, flooding the entire surface of the earth so that anyone who was not on the boat perished. After the 40th day and night, it stopped raining and Noah sent out a dove to look for land, but the dove flew back to the boat. The next day he sent the dove out once more and it returned with an olive beak clutched in its beak. The earth dried up and Noah and his family opened the doors of the ark and released the animals. Then God put a rainbow in the sky and promised that he would never destroy the earth again with a flood, and that every time a rainbow appeared in the sky, God would remember his promise.
What does a cubit have to do with Noah's ark?
The cubit was the system of measurement used in Noah's day and far beyond. It was the length between an average man's elbow and his middle finger - about 17.5 inches (or 44.5 cm) (Deuteronomy 3:11). Noah's ark was to be three hundred cubits long , fifty cubits wide, and thirty cubits high (Genesis 6:14-16).
What did the animals eat on Noah's ark?
Some animals had unique dietary requirements that could not be met in the Near East. For example, Australian koals can only eat the leaves of certain eucalyptus trees, so Noah would have had to identify suitable species of tree, know how much food was needed, take it to the Near east and keep it fresh until the flood abated. He would then have had to plant and nurture the trees again in just the right locations for the koalas.
In summary, we mortals can not logically explain how Noah solved all these problems, and kept the animals alive and reproducing for so long.

And Noah went in, and his sons, and his wife, and his sons' wives with him, into the ark, because of the waters of the flood.
Genesis 9:18-19 names and enumerates the sons:

19These are the three sons of Noah: and of them was the whole earth overspread.

Was Abraham of the Bible oriental?
No, he was a descendent of Noah via the line of Shem to Terah, his father. He was the first to be called a Hebrew in Genesis 14:13. There are some who believe Noah via the line of Japheth is the progenitor of the Oriental lineage.
Jewish answer:
Abraham was Asian, but that refers to the Fertile Crescent in western Asia, since he was born in Babylonia (Iraq).
Abraham's Semitic ancestors lived in the Fertile Crescent, while he lived most of his life in the Middle Eastern country of Israel (Canaan) 3800 years ago. Abraham is called a Hebrew (Genesis ch.14) because Hebrew (Ivrim) means descendants of Eber (Ever). Ever was an anscestor of Abraham (Genesis ch.10-11) and the early Hebrews were Abraham's uncles and cousins for several generations back. They were Western Semites and lived in northern Mesopotamia, near the confluence of the Balikh and the Euphrates.
The Torah speaks of three branches of post-Flood mankind: Yefet (Japheth), Ham, and Shem (the three sons of Noah; Genesis ch.10).
The children of Yefet are (broadly speaking) the Europeans.
The children of Ham include the ancient Egyptians, Canaanites, Nubians, Bantu (and sub-Saharan Africans in general), Canaanites and many others.
The children of Shem include the ancient Assyrians, Elamites, Arameans, Lyddians and Semites in general. One group of Semites gave rise to the Arabs, Hebrews, Moabites, Ammonites, Edumeans and others.
According to tradition, the peoples of East Asia are Hamitic.
Though technically "Hebrews" includes all descendants of Eber (a Semite descendant; see Genesis ch.10-11), today the term is usually used to mean those who would later be called Israelites.
