Using Ken Ham’s own data, it’s easy to see there wasn’t enough room on the ark.

Unfortunately pretty much everything you’re talking about here was written by indoctrinated believers, using essentially the same reference material, long after the alleged fact.
How do we know the Bible today matches the original manuscripts?
Because there are thousands of manuscripts going back throughout history, that can be compared to one another. As well as writings from early Christians referencing scripture.
