What was the sense in Noah warning people of the flood?
Apparently his boat was barely big enough for the hundreds of thousands of animals, so what if he had a huge response to his warnings and had over 10,000 people show up to get on his boat?
Or was it all or none and done deal?
Either ALL of the world stop sinning or else the only ones I let on the boat are Noah's zoo keepers?
So even if those 10,000 showed up repentant and ready to sin no more, Noah was like sorry, nope, the world still has sinners so prepare to swim with the fishes! ... at least the salt water ones..

To give all the children a chance to repent of their many grave sins before god off'd them all.
"I have more to boast of than ever any man had. I am the only man that has ever been able to keep a whole church together since the days of Adam. ... Neither Paul, John, Peter, nor Jesus ever did it. I boast that no man ever did such a work as I." - Joseph Smith, 1844

Noah and his kids had an assembly line set up to make water wings to sell to them so they could get rich before the infidels were all drowned.

I think there may have been an addendum on the Summerian stone tablets indictating the directions to the floatation device storage facility and also reminding villagers to bring their towels.

Holy smokes that was hilarious. I watched several others like the one where Abraham was tested by god.
I wonder if he knows of the untold humorous riches contained within the Book of Mormon as well as the founding of Mormonism!

Good point, Porter!
You would think the Bible would have mentioned a run on the markets for flotation devices, at least!

Wait a minute? It just struck me that thanks to Noah and the flood and God repenting for killing everything that we now have rainbows. I like it!
Good thing no one had lawn water sprinklers back then. Pre-flood times it would have been boring to have water sprinklers and not see any rainbows in them.
