its says it rained for 40 days (i.e. rain fell)

and

150 days water covered the lands


the two are different, both are in genesis chapter 7 and the chapter explains it ok.

all in all noah was on the ark about a year (inferred from his age and the month/week he entered/exited the ark)

the ark was massive. I do not mean it was just a big boat, it was like MASSIVE, think cruise liner, oil transport ship type size, a hundred meters long or so.

There would have been masses of room in this thing. (but yeah the stench may have been a little bad)

Ha Ha good point! Seriously though there must have been a lot of animals on the boat, maybe a few hundred thousand species? Or more

I'm not sure about that anymore. Genesis speaks of "kinds" of animals and it may be that "kind" is higher than species - like maybe genus instead. So, for instance, a dog would suffice for wolf, fox, poodle, etc.

What about the insects? (I love thinking about these things ) They don't take up any room but how would you keep them corralled? Why did God have to include ticks and mosquitos?
