Why even build an ark?

If God could keep a potentially unsound ark together for a year, isn't there a million other ways he could have started over and rescued Noah and his family?

Yes there are.

It apparently took 120 years for Noah to finish the ark. For 120 years this massive boat took shape as a testimony to men of what their fate was going to be.

And for 120 years nobody listened. It's not like they can say they weren't warned. Sometimes I get the impression no one is listening now.

Why would God cause the death of so many innocent fetuses among those pregnant women He would have drowned?

[Mark17]

And for 120 years nobody listened. It's not like they can say they weren't warned. Sometimes I get the impression no one is listening now.

No, not many people are listening now either. These are just opinions, but it is estimated by many, that it never rained on the earth, but a mist rose to water the ground. I think the firmament had not been broken yet, so when Moses said it was going to rain, they thought he was nuts. Now, with no firmament, we get direct sunlight, which also had never happened before. Direct sunlight tends to limit the life of people, and kills them after 70 or so years. These are just some of the things I have read about.

Why even build an ark?

Why, indeed? Drowning is an awful way to go. Simply zapping all the bad folks out of existence seems more humane and environmentally proper.
