Noah's Ark
The scientist was correct in saying that the Blue Whale would need to be on the ark.
Biblical creationists also claim that continental drift does not occur and that the Earths geological features are artefacts of the flood. This would mean that the water would have contained so much sediment that the oceans would have had the consistancy of mud, therefore whales, fish etc would be unable to live in the flood waters.
Even without the sediments, half the worlds fish would need to be on the ark as some fish require salt water, some fresh water - which were the floods waters?
The book 'Telling Lies for God' by Ian Plimer has an excellent chapter pointing out all the scientific errors in the flood story, check it out if you can find it.

Before I continue, you have to know that I have spent the last four months watching everything that has been put into my system, and have lost 54 pounds. A few spoonfuls of Penn's new flavor was going to be a small treat.
Holy Diarysweetgoodness!! I wasn't expecting it to…

Baboon monkeys kidnap feral dogs as pups and raise them as family members. The baboons groom and play with the dogs and the dogs feed with the baboons. The dogs are well cared for by their respective baboon families and stand guard at night, protecting the baboons from enemies and other feral dogs.
