That's something I never understood about the Flood story, even as a kid in Catholic school back in the day... if Noah had to take on two of every animal, what the hell happened to any marine life? They were having an f'n field day, that's what. Why would God only spare aquatic creatures? Is marine life not God's creation too, or is he playing favourites? If they were on the boat, would they not die from lack of water?
Maybe getting two sperm whales aboard a ship would have been too much of a task. God got lazy.
As well, I want the technical details / construction specifications of a crudely-made boat that survived the greatest flood known to Man. Are they available somewhere? No? That Noah must've been one hell of an engineer.
