25. How big was the ark?
This link seems to contradict the ABC article as to the size of the Ark. It notes that it's about 450ft x 75ft x 45ft for a total of about 1.5 million cubic feet. So let's go with an insanely conservative estimate and say that there were 1.5 million species of animals on the earth, that would mean 3 million animals on board, each having their own half cubic foot cargo space. I'd imagine it would quickly become very difficult to breathe once you manage to shrink down to your allocated space. I'm guessing they didn't allow carry ons.
