Noah's Ark

Note that for people living at the time it (or something similer to it) happend, the "world" would have been something very, very different to how we see it now. IIRC there's a theory it might have had something to do with the drowing of what is now the Black Sea following the end of the last Ice Age.

Most of the earliest-settled parts of Asia are now on the Indian Ocean floor actually.

Oh, and btw - The Fire Next Time.

Animal in the biblical sense pretty much translates as Mammals+Birds, so forget the fish stuff.

I thought that the Great Flood was supposed to eliminate everything living on the planet so the world could have a fresh start.

Now...to refute this with any sort of certainty I'd actually have to read the relevant biblical text...

maybe new amninals were added after the flood

That's not part of the biblical account, though.
