So if Noah and his wife only had sons, how did they repopulate the world after the global flood?

What I want to know is, if Noah only took animals onto the Ark, and everything not on the Ark died, how did plants survive?

@LordShadowfire You can gin up any explanation you like. God lifted all the plants to heaven and re-planted them later. Except that isn't in the text.

This is how people resolve the many Biblical contradictions - by ginning up an extra-textual explanation to force the Bible into univocality. I'm indebted to Dan McClellan for this analysis. It's disrespectful to the authors as it has them say what we want them to say, not what they actually said.

Try reading the account, He had 3 sons, all married and their wives were aboard the ark!

@LordShadowfire marrying cousins isnt incest, and the next generation would be marrying second cousins.
@TheWildEcho It isn't incest as it's defined now because their children could find people who aren't related to them to continue the bloodline, but back then, it would have certainly led to problems.
Well their descendants are Netanyahu and Putin , so must be true.

Yeah - and in such a range of colors, too.
I'm a 'local flooder' so not the one to ask 😅

@LordShadowfire Just please know that you are addressing a very small portion of Christianity. 🙂

@OliRos "Truth" is not limited to literal histories. There are many "truths" in Scripture. But most of us who look to those truths know that it is dangerous to read allegories as histories.

@sarabee1995 🤗 Of course!

As your comment to @LordShadowfire implies, not all Christians are literalists. 🌹
@BritishFailedAesthetic Still waiting on that evidence, bro.
