I can imagine the film makers, with their higher knowledge of how the world actually works, will make the story more believable in the movie than it is in the book.That would make for a shitty movie. Now that special effects have progressed to where we can do almost anything on-screen, we can really have fun with a movie about the flood. Push the boundaries! It's kind of a dry story, after all.
Why not have a scene where the dinosaurs come rumbling over the hills, ridden by the nephilim who are carrying those huge anime swords ready to massacre Noah and his family? Noah runs inside the half-finished ark and... SURPRISE!!! God showed him how to build a rail gun from balsa wood and acorns, and it's time to show some motherfuckers how we do shit in this neighborhood! Oh, you're laughing at the acorn gun? Let's see if you're still laughing when an acorn accelerated to near light speed vaporizes your arm, shithead!
"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."
