>I agree, but you do have to wonder what the hell happened on Noah's Ark.
All you really have to do on the question of Noah's ark is disregard flood geologist literature and claims, and just investigate the Biblical text without any of those unnecessary presuppositions.
Flood geology, as it is often called, is where "big YEC" comes from. Today, this particular interpretation of young earth creationism is promoted relentlessly as the only possible non-Darwinian worldview by people who claim to be Jews like Ben Stein. It's entirely possible that these people have misunderstood the Genesis account, and we shouldn't take their opinions as fact.
My understanding of what happened with Noah's ark is a straightforward interpretation of Genesis without these presuppositions.
The cataclysmic flood that occurred c. 2618-2601 BC could have come from any number of sources, but one possibility is a superheated vein of water from deep underground was released to the surface, resulting in a massive cloud and cataclysmic flood that raised the water levels of the oceans substantially. This flood also destroyed all above-ground structures in the Middle East, such as the first and second dynasties of Egypt whose only remains are what can be excavated from underground today. I wouldn't call this strictly a "local flood" because it affected the whole planet due to the rising of the ocean's water levels, but in my view it was only one region in particular, specifically the region where Adam's offspring existed, where all life was wiped out.
