How did Noah know that the water had covered the entire earth? Did God actually tell him it did?
This comes from the time when people thought the world was flat. In other words, they didn't know other parts of the world existed. So, how would they know that other parts of the world were covered in water? I agree that there may have been a flood in Noah's immediate area, but not covering the entire earth.
Also, did Noah travel to the north to get two Polar bears for the ark? Did he goto Australia to get two Koala bears and two Kangaroos to bring into the ark? What did everyone (including the animals) eat on the ark? Did he have a shovel to remove all the animal shit he was drowning in?
There's just no way it could have happened.
