There was world trade before the great flood.

Hmmmm... maybe please don’t get me started on the Great Flood. I’m a devout Christian but I do have some difficulty believing that:
a) the entire Earth was flooded to a depth of 28,000-odd feet (roughly the height of Mt Everest); and
b) all animals were loaded onto a stone-age wooden boat; and
c) Noah had the time and capability to navigate to the South Pacific to drop off all the world’s most poisonous snakes plus the kangaroos plus the platypus to Australia only, and then cut across to New Zealand and drop off Moas, Kiwi, Tuatara and other prehistoric animals only found in NZ and nowhere else; and then
d) chug back to Mt Ararat to drop off all the rest of the animals...
...no, please don’t get me started on that one. It causes a Crisis of Faith. Logic says “no” but Faith says “it must be so...”
