To hold every type of snake, spider and insect I guess it would have to be pretty big. And you need to bring enough food for them to eat. 🙄🙄
God spells out to Noah the dimensions of the ark, 300 cubits by 50 by 30 – Using the longer "Egyptian royal cubit" of 529mm, this works out at 158.7m long by 26.45m wide by 15.87m high (520 feet 8 inches long by 86 feet 9.3 inches wide by 52 feet 0.8 inches high). If the 457.2mm (18" ) cubit is used, this works out at 137.16m long by 22.86m wide by 13.716m high (450 feet long by 75 feet wide by 45 feet high). The ark had three internal divisions (which are not actually called "decks", although presumably this is what is intended), a door in the side, and a sohar, which may be either a roof or a skylight.

Certainly any creatures left outside the ark would have perished. Somehow that doesn't seem right. Please clarify which species of the snakes, spiders and insects were taken aboard. This could be important !

Originally posted by caissad4It is not spelled out. However, there must have been enough species to produce all the varieties we see today through reproduction. You may call that evolving, but I don't.
