As the story goes, two of each animal are to board the ark, one male and one female, side-by-side. Thus, two pairs of peafowls(one pair of each species) should board. Yet, in the scene where all the birds are in Evan's office, we see two peacocks(male) of the same species side-by-side, when we should see a peacock and a peahen. See more...

There are multiple scenes in the movie showing the ark being built, and standing on land waiting for the flood. All of these shots of the ark before the flood was a real, life-size ark, built for this movie.
The scene where God appears in the backseat of Evan's car and they are both visible in the rear view mirror, is reminiscent of the movie poster for "Driving Miss Daisy", also starring Morgan Freeman, where Freeman and Jessica Tandy were both visible in the rear view mirror.
There are several biblical mentions in this movie if you look (The 40 Year Old Virgin Mary, Eve Adams, etc.).
