On a related note, I wonder if Noah told the termites to wait
till debarkation, and *then* go forth and multiply...
If not, then what was the ark made of and what did
the termites eat on the ark?

There are a fair number of problems with the Ark story, though
admittedly I hadn't thought of that one. :-) Since there were
only two termites one might suggest a small pile of sawdust.
How small is an interesting question.

Nay nay, 'tis simply linear thought. For an exponential paradigm
shift, quantum leap extrapolation see my other debarked post.

Here's a related question: how much food was on the Ark, and
how much waste did Noah & Co. have to remove from the cages?
Bear in mind the Ark had everything from shrews and the
aforementioned termites to giraffes, hippos, and elephants.
Termite *** is probably not a big worry, but ...

What me worry? Would not slugs eat it?

Two by two they walked into the ark male and female...

Oh oh, worms, slugs and all those other both male and female gay marriages
not allowed on board. Only bonerfided heterosexual, one male and
one female, marriages allowed. But that is discrimination, requiring
trees, bushes, herbs, vegetables to walk on board without assistance.

Thus is puzzle, without use of choice or evolution, explain how plants,
worms, etc. survived the flood for in soothe, they were not aboard.
