To all here truly interested, there is a whole new, burgeoning science growing since the late sixties. It’s consists of an apologetic of a young earth, refuting many of the claims of traditional science. These young-earth scientists (many) are all reputable PhD’s from top universities from around the western world.
For some specific answers regarding the flood, Noah, and the ark’s inhabitants, a now recognized definitive and very interesting work on the subject is THE GENESIS FLOOD by Henry Morris PhD (a hydraulic engineer) and John Whitcolm PhD (theologian). This was published back in 1959 and is now considered the cornerstone of this movement.
It’s long, technical, and presents answers, to be sure, speculative, but based on science and probabilities. I highly recommend it.
Edit to add: God in the scriptures gives us but a very broad overview — what is necessary for us to know — but with many unanswered questions that inquiring minds would like to know the answers to. Or at least to entertain them.
