Open Question: how can people believe the old testament?

i mean, if you think theres holes in the SCIENTIFIC theory of evolution, let me point out some holes in the Great flood, and see how you can possibly be so deluded: there are at least 2 million species on the earth. two of each means 4 million animals minus aquaitic life= still a sh!t load of animals. thats not even the biggest problem, he had to bring a years supply of food for each of these animals, who would eat so many times their own weight in one year... how did he save thousands of pounds of meat for the lions without it rotting? how did he build an ark the size of a large island? if he took only the basic species, how did those species branch out to all the species we have today? isnt that... EVOLUTION? how did the penguins, the polar bears, and the kangaroos get to the middle east from different continents? how did they survive in that environment, just try putting a penguin in the desert, see what happens... how did he get the animals to behave? lets assume that all the animals behaved, and somehow they all fit on one boat along with the food for one year: genesis says the water rose above the highest mountain, they would freeze to death and die of oxygen deprevation if they were as high as mount everest. what happened to the aquatic life? most of them would have also died as the flood would be mixing salt water and fresh water, and disturbing the light filtration and temperature. the ocean is a very delicate eco system, and sucha flood would have killed most of the life. lets say they survived the one year boat trip and finally got back on land: what did the carnivores eat? how could they survive without killing other animals and driving the species to extinction? why is it all the penguins went to the south pole and none to the north pole, why is ALL the marsupials went to australia? not a single family of kangaroos settled in another part of the world? the asian apes went to asia, the african apes went to africa, why isnt the placement of animals in the world COMPLETELY random, instead of pointing to evolution. where did the water come from/where did it go? how could two species of an animal succesfully reproduce? biologist say that you need at least 50 individuals of a species to have enough genetic diversity, other wise they would have died due to inbreeding. nothing makes sense about this story, if you think its remotely plausible, try and explain these logical discrepancies. i think its impossible to explain them all....
