Seriously. That's an issue. Also this: WTF did the animals do? And how did Noah find favor with the Lord? Presumably by being righteous. Why didn't God make sure he taught humanity righteousness like he apparently did Noah? Or--since this is early OT God--maybe Noah wasn't righteous at all... maybe he was just good at picking sacrifices.
There are only two possible answers....
1 - "god" is a fuck up, or
2 - there is no "god."
