I add my new things to the collection I already have, take out the dead ones which actually aren’t that many, and go back for some spiders I noticed at the far end of the mustard. And later they’re still at it. Arguing about this and that but it’s not a real argument where people listen and maybe change their minds about things. It’s the kind of argument where everyone is actually saying, This is what I think and I’m not going to listen to what you say because that would be like admitting I’m wrong. Then everyone stops talking. I say, Do it by size. … put the big things on the bottom with the little things on top… pg 92” NoahThe FloodThe Ark Book:The Preservationist Source: The Preservationist
“There are many other questions. Noe answers them with variations on: 1. Stop complaining. 2. We’ll solve that problem when faced with it. 3. God will provide.

Illa and Cham appear markedly unconvinced, especially with the second, but surrender to the understanding that no further information is forthcoming.
