Noah was a noble and prescient man.

As for the rest of your argument, it's circular. It only works if you
have a definition of "good" in mind before you back up and look for
motivations. Luke 6:37.

Oh oh, a Bible cite. I give up (-:

That's why boats are so nice, with their lines always ending in a bow
