I would be shocked if this isn’t an old argument, but I had never heard it before, so I figured I would share.
So the Noah story claims that Noah put 2 of every animal on a single boat (not big enough to hold all the animals.. we have the dimensions.) then released them into the wild where they propagated into the world we see today..
Well so what did the carnivors eat for the year or 2 after they were released???
Obviously if they ate the herbivores, every meal would cause an extinction event..
If there are only 2 mice , one male and one female, then a snake eats the male. Then how do mice continue??
If the snake doesn’t eat a mouse , then how does it survive???
What I find the most icy about this whole tale is the incest factor concerning both humans and animals alike.
That would mean that Noah’s family bred mother to son, brother to sister, uncle to niece , exc.. to create the human race..
Yuk!!!
In total, over 1,000 craftsman were employed in the ark's construction.[38] Whenever possible, the builders employed techniques from the ancient era, such as manually bending the wood for the rudder rather than steaming it to make it more pliable.[1]

I've heard that theory also but that doesn't explain how so many different cultures have a Flood myth .
