"Following up on the Bil Nye and Ken Ham debate on Creationism, Creation Museum founder Ken Ham announced Thursday that a municipal bond offering has raised enough money to begin construction on the Ark Encounter project, estimated to cost about $73 million. Groundbreaking is planned for May and the ark is expected to be finished by the summer of 2016. Ham credits the high-profile evolution debate he had with "Science Guy" Bill Nye on Feb. 4 with boosting support for the project.
After learning that the project would move forward, Nye said he was 'heartbroken and sickened for the Commonwealth of Kentucky,' lamenting that the ark would eventually draw more attention to the beliefs of Ham's Young-earth Creationist ministry. 'Voters and taxpayers in Kentucky will eventually see that this is not in their best interest.' Nye hopes."

Well, if he was capable of sustaining a whole nation in the desert for years just by raining manna and no word of water, sure he would be able to support the animals in the ark for 40 days without any food or water. Even more, that way the ark also wouldn't need sanitaries (otherwise keeping the ark clean would be a hell of a job!).
I mean, once you put an all-capable being in the story, why limit your options?
