What I want to know is what did the lions eat whilst they were waiting for the gnu's to breed?
I'd also like to know which species (animals/plants) went extinct because Noah + friends wanted to nibble on something.
Unicorns and griffins.
Skepticism is not a position; it is an approach to claims.
Science is not a subject, but a method.

If he did know that it would not work then why did he kill everyone anyway, including the new born babies, to young to sin, which by his own definition he murdered?
For the bible says
And also here in the Ten Commandments
What makes you think the the flood was God final answer to sin?
My bible tells me the flood was the result of exceeding wickedness the world has never seen before or since... Not as a means to destroy all sin.
Umm maybe fact that he killed everything.
To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.

Its such a shame that man resumed his wickedness some time after the flood. God can't stop failing it seems.

So god didn't use the flood to destroy all sin, just to put a dent in it?
"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."

I think god wanted to just kill a bunch of stuff, like a kid with insecticide standing over an ant hill.

God just wanted to take a break from all the sin going on. You know how pissed off God was that man used his free will in ways other than God wanted.

Yahweh seemed to lack a bit of foresight...or he was just sadistic.

Day #1 - The lions and antelopes set off to return to Africa.
Day #2 - The lions get hungry.
Why are there still antelopes?
