Actually, I think Noah had 120 years to build the ark. How God actually caused the Flood, I have no idea. He may have used meteors, and countless other means. I dont have any ideas. I am just sure it happened, and I am convinced the reason for the Flood, was to kill off the Nephilim, something else, the academics dont want to talk about. 😁 I have a feeling Noah suffered from PTSD. He saw the ante diluvian world, and then the post diluvian world. I think, to him, the new earth was unrecognizable. No wonder he drank. 😁😆
The purpose of the flood was to cleanse the planet of all the ‘altered species’ AND the Nephilim.
