Would it make sense to collect samples of every plant and organism in the garden, then sterilise the whole ground before replanting everything - including the knotweed? That's how much sense the flood story makes.

Think salmonella. Let say you spill raw chicken juice in an open silverware drawer, and you get it on everything except the silverware that's in the dishwasher. Do you:

a)put the clean silver from the dishwasher into the drawer with the contaminated stuff hoping that the raw chicken juice won't make everyone sick.

b) throw absolutely everything out and buy everything new?

c)sterilize (wash with water and soap) everything in the drawer being careful not to contaiminate the clean silver you still have?

Or if you need to go back to your garden, you select a herbicide that targets the specific weed, or if it is really bad you get a general purpose herbicide that will kill everything except your select foliage. which again is similar to what God had done.

Truthfully we will never fully understand the evil this world was full of in this life. Humanity was not the only thing God was trying to get rid of. their was a stain brought on by sin that touched just about everything alive in one way or another. It all had to be sterilized.

But according to your religion, nothing was sterilised. Original Sin is allegedly still with us. It's the central selling point of this Jesus thing. And to hear some of your team's mouthpieces, the world is at least as sin-ridden as it was in Noah's day, if not worse. The flood achieved just as much as the evidence it left.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist.  This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair.  Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second.  That means there's a situation vacant.'
