I have thought of the Ark as being a large "Womb" for all life.

God enjoys sailing and going to the zoo. Actually, it symbolizes salvation through an active faith.

I'm not sure the author(s) meant it to symbolize anything but, instead, was a borrowed story adjusted so as to teach certain Jewish morals and values.

I think it represents the perod of time between death and rebirth, so a womb would be an apporpriate symbol. In Eastern thought, it might be called the "Bardo" period. It can be viewed as fertilized ground, or any type of incubator.

Kind of like what baptism symbolizes.
