Noah and animals

RE: Noah and animals
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 am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

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.

Yes, thinking is hard. It's best to let others do it for you, then regurgitate the small syllables.
