This is an interesting story of a man called Noah who had no previous shipbuilding experience and only three sons and their wives to help him build one. Together, they built the largest ship ever built in human history to house untold number of animals and their food supply. See Genesis 7:23. If he had any day labor help, he probably did not bother to tell them that they were about to die. Then along comes God, the genocidal maniac, who floods the world and killed, intentionally, every man, woman, and child on the planet save eight of them.

Praise Be to your Genocidal Maniac

Praise Be to your Genocidal Maniac

My guess is that you have to be a bonafide moron to worship a genocidal maniac. Have you considered worshipping Hitler?

The story of Noah is appalling. God took a dim view of humans, so he (with the exception of one family) drowned the lot of them including the children and also for good measure, the rest of the (presumably blameless) animals as well.

You'd think an omniscient being could have been more selective in killing the evil people with a selective heart attack here, a lightning bolt there, a stroke over there, an accidental decapitation here, a small asteroid collision way over there..... etc.....

End of Noah's flood: 2343 BC

How did Noah round up the millions of different types of insects and small critters into the ark?

Did every animal species live within walking distance of Noah's ark?

And of every living thing of all flesh, two of every sort shalt thou bring into the ark, to keep them alive with thee; they shall be male and female. Of fowls after their kind, and of cattle after their kind, of every creeping thing of the earth after his kind, two of every sort shall come unto thee, to keep them alive.
          Genesis 6:19-20

This says that all the dinosaurs were rounded up and placed on the ark. There is nothing said about the dinosaurs being excluded. So, what happened to the dinosaurs?

Of every clean beast thou shalt take to thee by sevens, the male and his female: and of beasts that are not clean by two, the male and his female. Of fowls also of the air by sevens, the male and the female; to keep seed alive upon the face of all the earth.
          Genesis 7:2-3

How did Noah round up the dinosaurs? How come they all died?

Why do you find all the penguins (every single one) down in Antartica and nowhere else? How did they get there so fast and not a one settled somewhere else.

Why do you find kangaroos only in Australia and nowhere else? How did they get across the water barrier?

Did Noah have sex with his daughters in law.

Did Noah's wife bear any of her grandchildren?

It's certain that Noah's children practiced incest. They had to.

Did God really have to kill everybody except Noah and his wife and children?

Imagine trying to run the entire Bronx Zoo with just eight employees. Now consider that Noah's leaky tub, by even the most forgiving estimates, would have to have had far more kinds of animals (including dinosaurs, which creationists believe existed simultaneously with humans, a la the Flintstones). Imagine how much feeding, watering, and manure-carrying that would be. Imagine all this frenetic activity taking place in the cramped, dark, foul-smelling confines of a wooden boat, with predators and prey side-by-side in narrow pens, during the most violent and catastrophic storm in the history of the planet, with an absolute requirement that not a single animal get sick or die. Now try not to laugh too hard at the people who seriously believe all this really happened
