though since they hadn't figured out sperm/egg bit yet I wonder if they just took sperm/homunculus of every animal. Which wouldn't work of course. Musing here.

Many different religions stories have a Noah like story in them. Working with the Lakota's in ND way back and they had one such story, showed me the hill it ended up on (in the part of ND that has hills). I am sure that there were floods and big boats carrying animals, but turning those stories into "2 of every animal, praise the lord this is the truth!" is irksome to me.

Yes, god can do anything but then we need to define that term (god) as it means different things to everyone.
