The story can't be taken seriously without enormous faith goggles. There are plot holes galore, not to mention that the moral is really questionable, and this God guy comes off more like a monster. And yet, this fable is often presented as a children's story! God killed every human except for one family, and presumably all of the plants and animals that didn't make it on the boat.

Amazingly, this has been made into a major motion picture starring Russell Crowe. I may have to watch it, just to see how they gloss over the big potholes in the story, like how one family could play zookeeper to the entire world's remaining animals for so long. How and what they fed them. How they kept them from eating each other. Where and how they stored the insects, arachnids, viruses snd bacteria. How they managed to clean up all of that animal waste . . . gaaahhhhhhh. . . Just, nasty.
