oh, and yeah, that's another thing - how in the world was it possible for noah to like preach to everybody on earth
you have to remember the the WHOLE physical earth wasn't populated yet, it was still fairly close to the beginning of human history. no one spread out THAT far yet. plus it could be likely many people heard of the ark and came to see it. People talked and they mocked. If they were honesthearted they could have went up to noah and asked what it was all about.
