What you are describing is a god having to force his will upon what he supposedly created by having to resort to supernatural/magical processes to accomplish what wants done. Does this sound like someone who had knowledge of everything to come and the power to create or build in a way to accomplish what He wanted done without supernaturally manipulating it?

Because that does not at all sound like the god the Bible is describing to me.
I assume gods do wtf gods want.  If that’s making miracle boats and miracling them full of animals so it can miracle up a storm, so be it.

I’m just pointing out that the final stop on this apologetic tour is to reduce the wholly miraculous flood narrative to a guy floating down a creek on the top of his chicken shed.

That the god you believe in?  The god of the runaway coop and wholly natural explanations?
yup.
