Noah's flood

Noah's flood is a popular bedtime story for Christian children.

Believing the world to be corrupt, God told Noah that he was going to destroy the world in a flood. Noah decided to build an ark which somehow could house his family and two of every animal (even useless one like stink beetles and dodos). A great Waterworld-esque flood covered the world and then subsided.

Like all bedtime stories, there is little rational thought in the story. For example, all plant life would have been wiped out as well.
