[4] There were giants in the earth in those days;
Wrong, but there were pygmies. Why were there no giants in Australia?
[7] And the LORD said, I will destroy man whom I have created from the face of the earth; both man, and beast, and the creeping thing, and the fowls of the air; for it repenteth me that I have made them.
Apparently, marsupials in Australia were beyond reproach, even though God regretted making animals in ANE.
[11] The earth also was corrupt before God, and the earth was filled with violence.
Check. Pretty much the whole Earth had violence and fornication in it. Were people of the ANE simply worse than Chinese, or are Chinese still awesome? Perhaps we should buy Great Wall of China cars.
[12] And God looked upon the earth, and, behold, it was corrupt; for all flesh had corrupted his way upon the earth.
Pretty much
[13] And God said unto Noah, The end of all flesh is come before me; for the earth is filled with violence through them; and, behold, I will destroy them with the earth.
All flesh
[17] And, behold, I, even I, do bring a flood of waters upon the earth, to destroy all flesh, wherein is the breath of life, from under heaven; and every thing that is in the earth shall die.
Good plan.
[18] But with thee will I establish my covenant; and thou shalt come into the ark, thou, and thy sons, and thy wife, and thy sons' wives with thee.
And the Chinese and Australian aboriginals were above reproach, and had an implicit covenant.
[20] Of fowls after their kind, and of cattle after their kind, of every creeping thing of the earth after his kind, two of every sort shall come unto thee, to keep them alive.
Why save birds, if they can fly to Australia?
[1] And the LORD said unto Noah, Come thou and all thy house into the ark; for thee have I seen righteous before me in this generation.
Also, the Chinese and Amerindians were righteous.
[4] For yet seven days, and I will cause it to rain upon the earth forty days and forty nights; and every living substance that I have made will I destroy from off the face of the earth.
At least we know how to interpret the prophecies of Daniel, when he says something, it could mean anything.
[6] And Noah was six hundred years old when the flood of waters was upon the earth.
Or 42. When you add up the digits of 600, it actually means 42 in ancient Hebrew numbers known only to me.
[8] Of clean beasts, and of beasts that are not clean, and of fowls, and of every thing that creepeth upon the earth,
At least we know what the Bible means by 'every': some. This helps interpret Revelation.
[19] And the waters prevailed exceedingly upon the earth; and all the high hills, that were under the whole heaven, were covered.
Now we have new definitions for Biblical "all", and "whole".
[20] Fifteen cubits upward did the waters prevail; and the mountains were covered.
Now we have a new definition of "cubit". A mountain is 15 cubits high.
[15] The length of the ark shall be three hundred cubits, the breadth of it fifty cubits, and the height of it thirty cubits.
The ark is 20 times as long as a mountain. I never noticed that bit of stupid before.
[23] And every living substance was destroyed which was upon the face of the ground, both man, and cattle, and the creeping things, and the fowl of the heaven; and they were destroyed from the earth: and Noah only remained alive, and they that were with him in the ark.
[1] And God remembered Noah, and every living thing, and all the cattle that was with him in the ark:
Wish I had a photographic memory like God.
[3] And the waters returned from off the earth continually: and after the end of the hundred and fifty days the waters were abated.
The waters rolled off the side of the Earth.
[5] And the waters decreased continually until the tenth month: in the tenth month, on the first day of the month, were the tops of the mountains seen.
After 10 months, the water is down to 15 cubits again.
[17] Bring forth with thee every living thing that is with thee, of all flesh, both of fowl, and of cattle, and of every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth; that they may breed abundantly in the earth, and be fruitful, and multiply upon the earth.
When you cover plants, even locally with 15 cubits of water, they die. No mention of how the plants came back to feed the cattle.
[19] Every beast, every creeping thing, and every fowl, and whatsoever creepeth upon the earth, after their kinds, went forth out of the ark.
Great. Still the new definition of Biblical "every" is about 100.
[21] And the LORD smelled a sweet savour; and the LORD said in his heart, I will not again curse the ground any more for man's sake; for the imagination of man's heart is evil from his youth; neither will I again smite any more every thing living, as I have done.
And even if God did smite 'every' living thing, 'every' means about 100, so no problems for most people.
[10] And with every living creature that is with you, of the fowl, of the cattle, and of every beast of the earth with you; from all that go out of the ark, to every beast of the earth.
[11] And I will establish my covenant with you; neither shall all flesh be cut off any more by the waters of a flood; neither shall there any more be a flood to destroy the earth.
[12] And God said, This is the token of the covenant which I make between me and you and every living creature that is with you, for perpetual generations:
So, the covenant was only established with those animals on the ark. He could flood others again.
[14] And it shall come to pass, when I bring a cloud over the earth, that the bow shall be seen in the cloud:
He made rainbows everywhere.
blah blah.
