The Case for Atheism

[Angrboda]

You forgot that the whole ark would have become a hive of disease very quickly; bacteria and viruses would still be present on and around the animals (and that's assuming that microbes don't count as necessary passengers aboard the ark to begin with) and with so many animals from across the globe locked up in a confined space, all of them would be dealing with illnesses they'd have no immunity to, extremely quickly. None of this would be helped, of course, by the fact that flies and mosquitoes tend to breed, and I'd like to see how Noah intended to stop that from happening.

And how would parasites work? Would he have had to purposefully infect one of only two examples of a species with them to preserve the parasites? What about all those horrible flies and wasps that use other insect larvae as incubators for their own? Wouldn't that be an intolerable level of competition when there's only one breeding pair apiece?

So, Noah lets loose the eagles, and the first thing one of them does is swoop down and kill one of the rabbits. Well shit, that's one extinction event within the first minute. How does one account for the incredible vulnerability of an ecosystem where every species in it is critically endangered?

Noah walks carelessly through the ark and bam, one of the snails is gone. It only takes one fuck up, and you've practically committed genocide; these guys were on the boat for a year? How many accidental deaths could that be?

Were the animals that don't have year long lifespans breeding on the ark? How did the place cope with a sudden influx of mayflies? Can't let them out into the rain, after all!

And so on.
