Noah: Pretty good. I am exhausted, but I think I’m finally all done.
God: Not quite – the two rhinos you brought on your ark, they are both male.
Noah: I followed your command. I spent years building this here ark. I spent weeks filling it, and I am tired, god. So you know what, you want a girl rhino? You change it! You’re god, You can do anything!
Strange that so many people are ready to jump on a story from the Bible that has a morale base to it, i.e. the sins of man being punished by wiping out all the sinners leaving the righteous to survive, but no one ever jumps on stories from Aesop which have the same moral teaching.
Isn’t there something in genetics about recommending a diverse gene pool? Starting with only one pair of each species, maybe that explains a few things.
I don’t think anyone who believes in the Great Flood can or will answer these questions. Where did all the water come from and where did it go ? Devine miracle ? Giant sponge ? Any reasonable answer accepted.
Interesting explanation, but not possible. They disappeared about 30,000 years ago, which is at least 5 times longer ago than the beginning of the creation. Totally illogical.
The myth of the Great Flood as told in Genesis has a genesis that goes back to pre-Biblical times, and appears in different forms in many ancient cultures. Here’s a good summary: https://time.Com/44631/noah-christians-flood-aronofsky/
I used to worry about all the birds that had to keep flying until the flood waters receded. They must have been exhausted. (and where did all that water go?) Creatures of the sea just kept swimming.

God: Noah?
Noah: Yes, God?
God: How long can you tread water, Noah?

Were there more human races before the flood? Maybe green people, Leprechauns, and Gnomes.

Yay! At least the Wiley bears made the cut!
But, with that hole so low on the side of the ark, I am afraid that it won’t stay afloat for very long.
