I have some TBM relatives who recently visited that Noah's Ark park in Kentucky. When I asked them how the kangaroos got home after the Ark landed in Turkey, they ignored me and went on talking about how exciting it was to see dinosaurs in the Ark exhibit. Take THAT Shinehah!
It is an obvious fable only meant for young children and prehistoric peoples who would not yet know of science. Fortunately, my parents never even told us of Noah and the ark! Those religionists who even suggest it is literal are helping to make their children total non-believers in religion.

My favorite creationist question, "If we evolved from monkeys, why are there still monkeys?" Because you don't understand how branches of a tree work. You might want to take a look up at them once in awhile.

Anybody who rejects evolution shouldn't have their impacted wisdom teeth or burst appendix removed until they accept science as their personal savior!
Oh man, this reminds of one of the members at a Presbyterian church where I used to work. This was a Quiverful family, very fundamentalist, and it turned out they were Young Earth Creationists as well, because of course they were. One time after a service, he cornered me to present a book written by some YEC crackpot with all these stupid geological theories about how all the geographic features of the Earth could totally have been formed in the last 6,000 years. I had no idea at the time that such things existed, took the book from him, and gave it back a week later.
That family left the congregation a short time later when they voted to have a booth at the local Pridefest.
Since God can do anything, once the animals stepped onto the Ark they were miniaturized. This allow Noah to take more animals and less feed. Once they stepped off the Ark God re-inflated them.
You know, I find it funny that all these young earth/anti-evolution arguments require a lot of explanations. There is a lot of "maybe this"/"perhaps that" type of mental maneuvering required to believe the theories put out by these crackpots. All while overlooking the simplest theory that perhaps the Bible, written by superstitious tribesmen several thousand years ago, is just wrong.
