text: does anyone seriously believe that noah's ark actually happened? please explain, i'm fascinated.?   someone did the calculations on this and figured out that noah would have had to load 30 species a second on to the ark for almost 20 years. 24 hours a day 7 days a week.  bet he slept good when he was done doing that.    ps. the bible said that the flood killed every living thing. does this mean that noah had to have fish tanks on the ark so the fish would not drown in the flood.  love and blessings don
