Not fiction? How did Noah, fit two of every animal
into his ark?

Did he employ a shrinking machine?

"When I, or people like me, are running the country, you'd
better flee, because we will find you, we will try you, and
we will execute you.

I mean every word of it. I will make it part of my mission
to see to it that they are tried and executed...If we're
going to have true reformation in America, it is because men
once again, if I may use a worn out expression, have a
righteous testosterone flowing through their veins.

They are not afraid of contempt for their contemporaries.
They are not here to get along. They are here to take over..."-

How about the less-often mentioned version where Noah takes
seven of every "clean" animal?

Not very genetically diverse of him now is it.

30 is about the smallest number he would have needed to
prevent a dramatic loss of genetic diversity among the
animals he did take.

Where did he keep the 30 elephants?

In his pants?

In God's pants?

These Old-Testament christians had better hope that they
are wrong on this "god" issue. By their own Holy Book, they
are going straight to Hell - do not pass "Go", do not
collect $200.

The irony is delicious...

Plus he missed the chance to rid us of the "unclean;" wound
up taking two of each, even in the expanded version.

And that's not a very broad genetic pool for many species.
