Can't find the post, although I recall seeing it.
I do recall making some comments in other posts, neverthe less, in
the context of the "300' ark" thread, the above is all that is necessary, as
all that Yahweh is attributed as actually doing outside the flood itself is
give somewhat repeititious but still inconsistent orders---and close the
door for Noah.
As to the other thread, someone else pointed out that by simply
acknowledging that two seperate accounts emerge in each of which Yahweh
appears to be acting somewhat differently is NOT an answer as to WHY there
are two seperate accounts, WHY Yahweh couldn't make up his mind about which
animals to take, about WHY none of the reports of what actually boarded the
ark match ANY of Gods commands, or about WHY God would need to give anyone
with the organizational skills to pull off a project the size of Noah's ark
repeated commands over a petty detail.
Building a 400' ship is a MAJOR undertaking, and always has been. It
is NOT a scaled up garage project in which you can make up the details as
you go along like some of my experimental speaker projects. It is a major
industrial undertaking which requires organizational skill and planning if
it is EVER to get done. The person who can run such a project does NOT need
to be reminded three times about a petty detail.
