... the ark [Noah built] would have to carry the genetic data banks to allow for the creation of all these species.

You stole that from Spriggan, that cool anime that sort of rips off Indiana Jones.
It's still cool though, check it out. The manga's good, too.
"... the ark [Noah built] would have to carry the genetic data banks to allow for the creation of all these species."
Methinks alien_syndm has watched the Don Bluth animated film "Titan AE", or the anime series "Kiddy Grade" too many times. Particularly the latter. In "KG", the Nouvlesse (the purebred Earth elite cadre who run the galaxy) had poured almost everything they had into creating a ship/mecha 'Deucalion'; initially as a self-contained terraforming system to convert lifeless planets into habitable worlds for further human expansion. Effectively creating infinite wealth from unlimited real estate. But it was later (in the series) revealed to be an 'Ark' for all the Nouvlesse to leave this galaxy and travel to a new one and inhabit that, thus creating interstellar chaos. But it was hijacked by the leader of the Nouvlesse, and ultimately stolen by a GOTT agent, merging herself with it so as to exact her revenge on Earth (the GOTT defeating her though).
But if it was technically impossible for a mere handful of humans to build a vessel larger than the Jahre Viking (a.k.a. Knock Nevis, the largest transport ship on the planet) to hold all the species that exist today, why bother with a smaller ship carrying just the DNA of all animals, plants etc? Genetic engineering didn't exist in Biblical times. And besides, what was the point of an Ark, if all it needed was to carry a few remaining humans; why couldn't God just magic replacement animals into existence after the flood?
I think you're going more & more into the realms of $cientology, alien_syndm.
@Godbuster
"Spriggan" is a criminally underrated anime.
Well, technically... no. If you go that far in your imagined explanations why don't you go one step beyond and say that God (who is omnipotent btw) was bored and decided to mess with people for shits and gigles. So, true version goes like this: Noah (unmarried childless wise guy that lived in the middle of the desert) heard some voices and started to act on them, building this small crazy ship (which was huge in his minds eye. He also thought he built it with his sons, for some reason). While he wasn't looking, God blinked and magnetically turned that boat into "giant" wooden Tardis and filled it with animatronic animals. Then he staged local flood, got bored after a year and found something (or someone) else to mess with.
The end
P. S. Makes as much sense as original story.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
