Still haven't heard from a Christian which of the eight carried these diseases for preservation and propagation in the new world (AFAIK only transmissible between humans):
Smallpox, polio, mumps, dracunculiasis, lymphatic filariasis (Elephantiasis), measles, rubella, pork tapeworm and possibly even malaria. Not forgetting syph and gons.

They also didn't have a clue as to how long a dead body would float. The raven didn't return because it's GPS was designed by God and therefore crap. (Seriously, does God have ANY advanced degrees?)

Apparently no one else in the world had a boat for another thing.
The Noah story is just so flimsy on so many levels that only a complete idiot would find it in the slightest believable.

I wonder how many of each kind of insect Noah brought on board? Night crawlers, silk worms, planaria, critters like that?

Was Noah worshiping animals?
No he was not.
GOD specifically tasked him with placing the animals in the ark "to keep seed alive upon the face of all the earth." - Genesis 7:1-5

Kind of a pointless thing for God to ask of Noah, don’t you think?

From a strictly human perspective it does seem that way, but GOD has historically commanded those whom He has mercifully justified by faith (Abraham, David, etc to this very day) to do things that didn't / don't make sense to us. Yet in faith, they obeyed and passed those tests. To quote, GOD declares "For My thoughts are not your thoughts, Nor are your ways My ways,” says the Lord. “For as the heavens are higher than the earth, So are My ways higher than your ways, And My thoughts than your thoughts."
So, He says repeatedly to us all - trust and obey (like a child would inexplicably trust his/her parent) - and you will never fail. (Psalm 37:5, Isaiah 26:3, Proverbs 3:6, etc), and also, "without faith it is impossible to please Him" - Hebrews 11:6
