My perspective is you have not read the account of Noah accurately. There were only eight humans on the boat.

Genesis 6:18 (God speaking to Noah) “But I will establish my covenant with you, and you shall come into the ark, you, your sons, your wife, and your sons’ wives with you.”

A few verses earlier the Bible said, (Genesis 6:10) “And Noah had three sons, Shem, Ham, and Japheth.”

Genesis 6:19&20: (God still speaking to Noah) “And of every living thing of all flesh, you shall bring two of ever sort into the ark to keep them alive with you. They shall be male and female. Of the birds according to their kinds, and of the animals according to their kinds, of every creeping thing of the ground, according to its kind, two of every sort shall come in to you to keep them alive.”

Genesis 6:22: Noah did this; he did all that God commanded him.

Genesis 7 describes the details of the flood. It concludes the chapter with verses 23 and 24. (referring to God) “He blotted out every living thing that was on the face of the ground, man and animals and creeping things and birds of the heavens. They were blotted out from the earth. Only Noah was left, and those who were with him in the ark. And the waters prevailed on the earth 150 days.”

Genesis 7:7 says, “And Noah and his sons and his wife a his sons’ wives with him went into the ark to escape the waters of the flood.”

Genesis 7:13 says, “On the very same day Noah and his sons, Shem and Ham and Japheth, and Noah’s wife and the three wives of his sons with them entered the ark...”

There is absolutely no Biblical reference to any other human being going in to the ark. Only Noah, his immediate family, and animals and birds and things that creep upon the earth.

If you can show me otherwise, I’d sure willing to learn. God bless you and your family. PS: I have used the English Standard Version (ESV) Bible for my quotes.

while I cannot get my Bible right this minute (left it at my Cousins when I went to visit) I use the King James Version ( Companion Bible) and the Strong’s Concordance which translates words back into the Hebrew, Greek Chaldean / Aramaic.

So, I (at this time) can only answer this way. Middle Eastern peoples cannot procreate Chinese babies, yet, the Chinese exist. Middle Eastern People cannot procreate blonde blue eyed babies (like the Swedish), but they exist, Middle Eastern People cannot procreate Ethiopians, yet they exist.

Noah and his family were “special” in bloodline because they had not mated with the Fallen Angels... My perspective on the account of Noah is accurate.

There were more than only eight people on the Ark, and as far as the animals...God made sure that (where ever He needed them to come from got there) that Apes, and Giraffe, and lions two by two made it onto the Ark.

Prayers for understanding and wisdom for you are your family, and protection in these dangerous times.
