All those little Johnnie’s and Janey’s killed in the flood myth wereGenetically weakened and diseased people, through incest and inbreeding, were cleansed from the earth by the flood. Noah was "perfect in his generations" (genealogy) thus he brought genetic strength to his offspring, which repopulated the earth.
genetically weakened and diseased? Wowza.
The gods then made allowances for Noah and his immediate family to repopulate the planet by way of incestuous and familial relations?
Thank god I’m not religious.
