Although many cultures have a "great flood" myth, the physical evidence across the world doesn't support the idea of flooding the entire world. At the very least, there isn't enough water on the planet's surface and atmosphere to produce such a deluge. Like, DUH!
At any rate, there's no way a wooden ship could be constructed (esp. with ancient methods) so as to provide room and board for all the animals of the world.
"Noah's Ark" is just a fable, and a silly one at that, since it's so very easy to disprove. Myths usually have a seed or germ of truth to them, but that hardly provides for the outrageous events so depicted. There may have been a small ship built by some wise man or loon, who did collect pairs of prevailing animals from the area (basically, his flocks), and it may have been in preparation for a flash flood, etc.
Judeo-Christians never want to hear all this truth, since they're delusional to begin with.
