Taken literally, the ark story doesn’t make sense from any perspective (e.g. it wouldn’t be possible to accomplish the ark business without miracles anyway, but then why not just make one miracle and just not let the pairs of all animals die during the flood (lock them in hyperstasis in a parallel universe, or something) - or better yet, why do the flood genocide at all and not simply kill all bad people, etc.), but the animals fitting inside the arc remains a problem in any case.

Either the baramin (“kinds”) are defined more closely to the biological def of the species, and then the animals don’t fit the ark. Or the baramin become very general, maybe just several thousands of them, but then there is the problem of how diversity arose after the flood - it would require a kind of hyperevolution no “evolutionist” would actually dream of.
