1. Considering that he can do anything, why didn’t God simply wipe out all of the humans he disliked with the click of his fingers, therefore saving Noah and his family the trouble of having to build a boat, round up animals, round up enough food for all the animals and themselves, and then spend forty days and forty nights on the ship?
2. Where did all of the water come from and where did it all go?
3. After all of the salt from the seawater covered the earth, how was it possible for any plants to grow? During Saladin's siege of Rome, he sowed salt along the Italian countryside. Nothing grows anywhere he sowed salt. Seaweed grows well in saltwater, but grain doesn't grow very well in salty soil, fruit trees don't grow well, basically no land plants grow in saltwater or can even tolerate significant amounts of salt.
4. How was it possible for Noah to round up every animal, including all species of insects and predators and kept the predators and insects from eating each other?
5. The size for the ship given in the Bible is nowhere near big enough for two of every single animal.
6. Some animals only eat certain things and can only live in certain climates. How did he get bamboo for the pandas and the right temperature for all the lizards and the special kind of plants insects can eat?
7. There were only eight people. So how did they manage to feed all of the animals and shovel all of their crap and piss off of the boat? Bare in mind how many animals we’re talking here.
8. There is evidence that there was a partial flood. But the Bible said world flood and is therefore lying. A partial flood is nothing special and plenty of people survived, showing the Bible false. Also, this flood is in many religions.
9. How did they exercise all of the animals? Animals need exercise or their muscles go. Can you imagine Noah walking an elephant up and down a cramped boat?
10. Some Christians explain it was one of every kind of animal, therefore one sort of cat, etc. But this would imply that by the time of the Roman empire, when various animals were document, the cats would have had to of evolved into all other cats. But literalist Christians don’t believe in evolution, and that is too short of a period for the animals to evolve in.
11. It is clear to anyone with intelligence that this is a load of rubbish, therefore some say it’s a parable, but that causes other problems about what is and isn’t a parable in the Bible, etc. etc.
So as you can see, this whole story is pretty much rubbish.
