they can be airborne. Also they could have lived on the olive tree who's branch was brought back to the ark. Also fish, and other sea creatures, could carry them. Most could also live in the water and would not need any help surviving a flood.


There are plenty of good arguments against the fairy tale that is Noah's Ark. This is not one of them.

and a host of others who made up the other night's meals.

It was no picnic on that ark. (Well, actually, it kind of was.)

And someone on the plane had Ebola. He later threw the patient overboard. Then Noah watched the remainder of travelers for 28 days.

And, jeez, somehow the dude got platypuses, koalas and kangaroosfrom Australia and polar bears from the Arctic and many, many species of critters from the deepest Amazonian rainforest. Quite a guy, that Noah.
