We are just assuming that when he took all the species with him, he literally took ‘all the species’.

Today, if I ask you to save all the colors in this universe, as world is about to go black and white, how many colors will you save? Three, that is it. All you need are the primary colors. Rest you can recreate.

Learning from the second episode of Cosmos, if today you need to save all the species, will you save dogs? No. You will just save a pair of wolves, and can later recreate all the breeds of dogs in next couple of thousand years. Similarly, you can recreate many through the monitored evolution. You just need to know the parent/primary animal of each family/line of specie and save them. Rest, nature can take care of.

While I agree with this in theory, evolution doesn’t take a few thousand years. Most species today are a result of millions of years of evolution. Then there is the issue of inbreeding. I am sure you’re aware of genetic bottlenecks.

Some species will have trouble surviving if there were only 200 of them left, let alone two. Like you Iam not questioning the event, I am questioning its literalism.
