Who said Noah fit two 'adult' animals of each kind on the ark? If you were given that task, wouldn't you be smart about it? Wouldn't it be easier to not only catch, but house, and to feed, and to keep predators/prey separate, if they were young?

come on, man. Thay were smarter than us back then, not dumber.

How smart are we if we are taking some random and probably hostile people’s myths literally?

Ark or not, it's ridiculous for me to think folks would rather capture & hunker down through a flood with a fully grown bear than a young cub, no matter how ancestral I imagine them to be 🤣

Truth 😂

What happens when societies *don't*?

See Stalin, Mao, Pol Po, etc.

There are societies that don’t and never did without problems with such weirdo criminal „leadership“.

That's true, I suppose. The Mayans, for example.

Japanese, Chinese pre Mao, and most likely most societies pre abrahamic contact. Coherence has no abrahamic dependency, it’s a godly gift for everyone who is open to coherence.

Snow Fleas and Galapagos Giant Tortoises require rather dramatically different thermal environments. Ditto for the Madagascan Day Gecko (high humidity or it dies) and the Thorny Devil (low humidity or it dies).

I don't think we could do it today, even with a staff of thousands using modern technology on a budget of billions.

Its a cool concept, though. Many poorer people in flood-prone Asian countries have a boat as part of their house, to save the most important things when the worst happens
