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

@LeopoldBloom Good point. I should put that in my next one.

@LeopoldBloom Everyone knows that the animals were constipated on the ark. When they got off, eventually, they shat seeds all over the place.

@OliRos I know you're being facetious, but any explanation must be extra-Biblical because the Bible is silent on how plants survived. The ginned-up explanations I've heard are either "they survived underwater" or "the seeds sprouted after the water receded." Aside from [b]not being in the Bible[/b], land plants and seeds can't survive underwater for a year.

@LeopoldBloom 😲 Facetious? Moi? 😂😂😂

@LeopoldBloom My favorite response from people who support the literal narrative is, "GoD pErFoRmEd A mIrAcLe!!!1!!"

@LeopoldBloom I think plants can survive a flood.

well his wife was on it too :/
i dont know just trust god!!

@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.
