You don’t actually believe there was an ark, made out of wood, on which they put two of every animal, along with enough fresh water and food to feed them for 40 days, do you? You don’t think the ark story is possibly just a metaphor? A boat made of wood to the dimensions specified in the bible would fall apart under its own weight. It would also be many, many times too small to carry two of each animal plus food and water. How could they possibly wander the globe and gather two of every animal and get them back to where they were building the ark? How could they possibly disperse them again afterwards?
There is no geological evidence of such a flood. No remnants of the ark have been found.
It’s amazing to me how so many people take things like the story of the ark at face value without even thinking about how illogical it is.

I like these two lines:
If God is omnipotent, why not kill what He wanted killed directly? Why resort to a roundabout method that requires innumerable additional miracles?
The whole idea was to rid the wicked people from the world. Did it work?
