As start the story of the ark in Genesis 6, one of the questions many people have about the ark regards feasibility. Could the story of the ark possibly be true? Here is a website that provides one way of answering that question:
AIG: Really a Flood?
We might not have to agree with each answer provided there, but the page is helpful in pointing out the erroneous assumptions of those who want to deny the flood all historicity.
In Sunday School, we are studying Genesis based on the commentary of John Walton, a professor at Wheaton College Graduate School. He provides a different take arguing that the words of Scripture allow for a more localized flood and that one does not have to believe in a worldwide flood to believe in the inspiration and inerrancy of Scripture. I can't link to his commentary but it is available as a Kindle download for those who are really interested.
Both approaches show that the flood need not be the stumbling block to faith that some imagine it to be.
