How would one go about fitting several millions of species into the ark as it is described in Genesis?
How Many Species? A Study Says 8.7 Million, but It’s Tricky
By CARL ZIMMERAUG. 23, 2011
In the foothills of the Andes Mountains lives a bat the size of a raspberry. In Singapore, there’s a nematode worm that dwells only in the lungs of the changeable lizard.
The bat and the worm have something in common: They are both new to science. Each of them recently received its official scientific name: Myotis diminutus for the bat, Rhabdias singaporensis for the worm.
These are certainly not the last two species that scientists will ever discover. Each year, researchers report more than 15,000 new species, and their workload shows no sign of letting up. “Ask any taxonomist in a museum, and they’ll tell you they have hundreds of species waiting to be described,” says Camilo Mora, a marine ecologist at the University of Hawaii.

A guy who painted a book about it said: I bet there were more than 2 flees on that boat.
