But, Noah, not being Sumerian didn't know about wheels and that technology was wiped out in the flood.

Well... Given that we have at least one 4th millenium example from Europe, it's safe to say that it wasn't just a Sumerian thing.

Let's not misunderstand - the article is ludicrous, but that point simply isn't a good one.

For people that are supposed to have faith, they sure do spend an awful lot of time trying to justify their bible verses. Maybe their faith isn't as strong as they think?

"You must build a great ark, it will take huge efforts on your part. It must be absolutely perfect."

"But God, couldn't you just create the ark out of nothing, guaranteeing it to be perfect and everything you need it to be?"

"Yes."

"... OK. I'll get to work."

"However, if supplementary ventilation was necessary, it could have been provided by wave motion, fire thermal, or even a small number of animals harnessed to slow-moving rotary fans."

They are a special type of deluded are they not?

Shame they don't put their vivid imaginations to better use.

Once you've accepted that "magic is fine" really there's no limit to how much you can delude yourself.

Plus how were they going to store grains that hadn't been domesticated yet? I suppose they could store bamboo or something similar... not grains though.
