While I tend to agree we have the problem that Jesus mentioned Noah, and said the end times would be like those of Noah's timeGeologists have found no evidence of a global flood in the rock record. The Earth's geological history suggests gradual changes over millions of years, not a catastrophic event like a global flood.
There's no archaeological evidence to support the story of a global flood that would have covered the entire Earth, including regions like China.
Most species wouldn't survive with only two individuals of each, as it leads to insufficient genetic diversity for a healthy population. Also how would have animals in Australia and America made it the middle east.
The sheer number of animal species and the task of gathering and caring for them on the Ark present immense logistical challenges. Many animals have very specific diets, most salt water fish can not survive in fresh water and most freshwater fish can not survive in salt water, in reality that flood would have killed most fish. Anyone who as a basic knowledge of taking care of tropical fish knows the slightest change in the eco system of the tank can kill all the fish.
Building an ark of the size described in the Bible, without the necessary engineering knowledge and materials, would have been impossible in Noah's time. Add to the fact that and Air Craft destroyer is many times larger than the dimensions given for the Ark. 2 of every land animal could not fit on a destroyer much. There would not have been less animals back then there would have been more.
Supplying enough food and water for all the animals and the crew for a year-long voyage is a major problem. For less than a dozen people....it would be impossible.
Managing a diverse group of animals in a confined space during a storm would have been incredibly difficult.
The Ark's size and the water's rising levels could have led to oxygen depletion, posing a threat to the animals and humans.
Now we know most of human race started in the middle east. There have been flood like the black sea flood that are most likely the basis of the flood story and a flood like that would have been the end of the world to a prehistoric people. They traveled over the world and the story was just told buy all,
Finally God is all knowing, all seeing, can do anything with no limits. It would have made more since to just snap your fingers and whip out everyone but Noah and his family. The biblical flood story is ridiculous, most pastors I know today are intelligent enough to realize that a good portion of the bible is at best an Allegory.
