Good point Keyser. I always used to wonder why Jehovah had to make such a bloody mess when sorting out the wheat from the chaff.
A flood not only sounds like overkill but why didn't other people who had boats also survive?
It's the same with Armageddon. Jehovah trashes everything back into the stone age and the birds and surviving Dubs have to clear it all up. You'd think a creator of this skill and magnitude would have somthing a bit more efficient up his sleeve. JCanon was saying recently that at the big A the damned will walk into the open in a trance and be killed, thus making everything a bit tidier. Goes to show that he's got more imagination than his god.
As for insects, well half of all described species are insects. In fact there are over 300,000 known beetle types. No doubt they were all on the Ark, although I bet he didn't let any wood termites on.
