BAKKE
Needless to say, this begs a much larger question.  To wit, if God is
omnipotent and could magically transport a plethora of creatures, why
did he need a 600-year-old man to build an ark to protect those same
creatures from the flood?  For that matter, why did he need the flood to
wipe out all the doomed creatures?  Seems to me that he could have
eliminated them "supernaturally" as well.
