Colter, you said there were, on the Ark:
- 7,800,000 species of animal
- 298,000 species of plant
- 611,000 species of mushrooms, mold, and other fungi
- 36,400 species of protozoa, single-celled organisms
- 27,500 species of algae or chromists
I am asking you if you're willing to pare this down to a much smaller number by considering that genera boarded the Ark, not species.
Are you willing to do that? or are you willing to try to make the Ark look overloaded?
Note: Your figures don't matter to me, since my interpretation of what the Ark was can easily handle that many. But your unwillingness to admit your interpretation is wrong is telling. I don't think even HitchSlap believes that many animals were on the Ark. The Bible says "kinds" entered the Ark, not "species."
