The Bible Teaches one day AGAIN the Earth will have no need of the Sun.

5: And there shall be no night there; and they need no candle, neither light of the sun; for the Lord God giveth them light: and they shall reign for ever and ever. Rev. 22:5

1: In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.
2: And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.
3: And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.
4: And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness.
5: And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day.
6: And God said, Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters.
7: And God made the firmament, and divided the waters which were under the firmament from the waters which were above the firmament: and it was so.
8: And God called the firmament Heaven. And the evening and the morning were the second day.
9: And God said, Let the waters under the heaven be gathered together unto one place, and let the dry land appear: and it was so.
10: And God called the dry land Earth; and the gathering together of the waters called he Seas: and God saw that it was good.
11: And God said, Let the earth bring forth grass, the herb yielding seed, and the fruit tree yielding fruit after his kind, whose seed is in itself, upon the earth: and it was so.
12: And the earth brought forth grass, and herb yielding seed after his kind, and the tree yielding fruit, whose seed was in itself, after his kind: and God saw that it was good.
13: And the evening and the morning were the third day.
14: And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years:
15: And let them be for lights in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth: and it was so.
16: And God made two great lights; the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night: he made the stars also.
17: And God set them in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth,
18: And to rule over the day and over the night, and to divide the light from the darkness: and God saw that it was good.
19: And the evening and the morning were the fourth day.

Yes. God could have commanded Noah to build an Ark - and then Noah said, "But that thing won't stay afloat in the sea!" And then God said, "I didn't get to the pitch it within and without part yet..."

And then Noah said, "Not that! Wood is not a rigid enough building material for spans greater than 300' unless you reinforce it with steel framing... we haven't invented steel yet! Each wave against the hull will open huge gaps in the planking."

Then the Lord said, "Well, if you can't do it, maybe I'll ask a Phoenician, they aren't inclined to be so technical about everything..."

Noah: "No, no... my bad. I'll build it, but YOU have to hold the whole thing together somehow."

God: "Okay, but tell your grandchildren that they'll never believe this!"

as far as fitting all the animals on Noah's ark, I've read the following:

Species of Land Animals
larger than a sheep, 290
between sheep and rat, 757
smaller than a rat, 1,359

Other species
birds, 10,000
reptiles, 2,231
insects, 100,000

It was the author's premise that there was enough space for all the animals in the lower deck for there was 33,750 square feet of floor space to be partitioned off into stalls, cages and rooms.
The second floor could have held food, for it contained 500,000 cubic feet of space in which to store the hay, grain, fruit, nuts, vegetables, honey, cheese,
etc.
The third story also contained some 33,750 square feet of floor space, making room for over 200 rooms each 12 feet square...ample space for many souls to find refuge...
