Since Noah was commanded to take 2 of every kind of living thing, he must have brought all the diseases with him. So every animal on board (including the humans) must have been suffering from numerous debilitating ailments.

The simplest definition of a zoonosis is a disease that can be transmitted from other animals to humans. A slightly more technical definition is a disease that normally exists in other animals, but also infects humans. The emerging interdisciplinary field of conservation medicine , which integrates human and veterinary medicine , and environmental sciences , is largely concerned with zoonoses.
Like Leolaia said, Bible apologists would invoke some form of miracle to swerve around this issue.

-An ark is too much work when you can have someone else make it for you (but he did plan out the blueprints).
He makes a mean animal skin loincloth, though.

What? You all either missed meetings or you only think of the UNclean.
THERE WERE 7 of each clean. they went in through the door 2 by 2.
Gen. 7:2 Of every clean beast thou shalt take to thee by sevens, the male and his female: and of beasts that are not clean by two, the male and his female.
