Noah and animals

[Greatest I am]

As a general rule, I will always build a boat.  No one has to ask me - and if someone gave me and only me the schematics for what would be, in translation, an intergalactic multi role freighter.......I might bite.  

There's another angle that a scheming omniscient god could use against me, and, frankly, if we read the story as a news report from the front...was using on noah.  Boats were thin on the ground were he lived, and so was a bunch of raging water.  Errybody was laughing at him.  Whatever Noah was doing when the day came and the sounds of the people were ringing around in the drum of his plague ships hull...he wasn't throwing lines overboard to rescue them.  Might have been more pointing and laughing.  Or maybe he was huddled up in a ball crying and pissing and shitting himself.  

Options.

I would join your crew if the Arc was as you describe.

As to options, better to turn to Midrash when dealing with the Jewish myth.

They think about their myths while Christians just read them as history.

I guess Christians find thinking too hard and dry.

It kind of is, but then you get the depth of Jewish thinking. Being a deep thinker, you might and likely do some of your own style of Midrash.

Here is an example, should you have the time. It starts on Noah then goes to Adam.
