For the sake of the debate, lets say that they found a REALLY, REALLY big boat. It is imbossible to take all species two by two. Lets look at some numbers of KNOWN species.
287,655 plants
1.5 million fungi
10,000 lichens
1,190,200 invertebrates
58,808 vertebrates
5-10 million bacteria
1.5 million

Grand total = 8,046,663 (low estimate)
Two by two = 16,093,326

Must have been a really huge boat equipped with a modern lab to house the bacteria and fungi….
Please, lets not loose our sense of reality!

I saw the film and thought it had some really good messages in it. The flood in which they refer to, is not another flood for ruin. In fact it is an undoing for an unethical congressman!( I didn’t want to give anything away here, so I tried to be vague)

I must admit, I had problems with the origins of this movie. And this is besides the fact that God promises to never again flood the earth. Here it is and judge for yourself:

Columbia Pictures have bought a pitch from two unproduced writers called The Passion of the Ark for a reported $2.5 million, according to Variety.

Writers Bobby Florsheim and Josh Stolberg’s modern-day tale of an unmarried man approached by God to build an ark to save the world from a second flood whetted the interest of all major studios, including Warners, Fox, and U. But it was Neal Moritz’s Col-based Original Films shingle that prevailed, with Original exec Ori Marmur bringing in the red hot spec.

“We knew we wanted to do something mythological,” said Florsheim, adding, “and so we looked at everything from the Easter Bunny to Noah. And we thought, ‘Hmmm. Bunnies. Animals. Noah. This could work.’ “
