Regarding gnats, ever spend much time around livestock, BJ?

Well, I have been around livestock, though not enough to say," Yeah, I know what you mean."
I live in Savannah, Ga. and our local minor league ball club is called the Savannah Sand Gnats. So I know about their legacy.

However, Noah and Gnats was merely a catchy title, I thought. I was thinking in terms of "all" creepy crawlers like spiders, roaches, ants, etc.....

I know I read one time, in a Josh McDowell book I think, that when people argue against a world wide flood, it has to do with the impossibility of there being enough room on the ark for all the animal life of the world (that was required). They respond (McDowell & Stewart) by saying that many animal breeds that exist today, did not exist then. For example, there might have been a couple breeds of dog, but not Pit Bulls. Pit Bulls came around much, much later due to poor breeding.

Anyway, I guess what I am asking is, "Are we Christians willing to say that "all" bugs, spiders, insects, etc. were on the ark, or did som come about later?
