Predators and Prey

I guess my question about the giants in the land is irrelevant.

"Everything died. Anything that moved—dead. Birds, farm animals, wild animals, the entire teeming exuberance of life—dead. And all people—dead. Every living, breathing creature that lived on dry land died."

I doubt that any giants dwelling in the Promised Land came from the union of the sons of God and the daughters of men. God had made a clean sweep.

Why did God spare Noah?

"Noah was different. God liked what he saw in Noah. Noah was a good man, a man of integrity in his community. Noah walked with God. Noah did everything God commanded him to do."

I think the sons made it on the reputation of their father.

Two more thoughts: Noah must have had the spiritual gift of skilled craft. Paul Allen, Bob Barnes, and I put together a jungle park for my kids this week. We did it all day Monday and I finished it after laboring on it all day Tuesday. A lot of work for someone nearly unskilled in that department.

Finally, can you imagine the environment on the ark. What would God have to do to convince the wild and domestic animals to get along with each other and not kill one another? Why doesn't he do the same with us now? That would be like heaven on earth. Diversity valued. Everyone matters. Everyone survives.
