Well, here's a cool little story. Cain kills his brother Abel and the whole world goes to pot. Noah is the only spiritual guy on the planet - not an exaggeration. So, God tells him, "Build a huge boat, because I'm gonna make it rain." This is not to be confused with 'making it rain' - the art of earning dollars and tossing them in the air like a playa.
So Noah gets to work, and this is what makes him such a groovy cat, he works forever. He takes several years to make this boat out of gopher wood (what the heck is that?), all because some voice in the sky tells him to. He's that faithful. I mean, I've got faith and everything, but not like that. But then, what's even better, is that his family helps him out. They're all like, "Okay, Noah. We do what you feel is best." None of them had ever seen rain before! It's crazy! Plus, if you have seen the Bill Cosby routine on this, it is even better.
Anyway, God floods the earth and everything, but not before Noah and his family get two of every animal on this Ark. For 40 days and 40 nights, it rains like crazy. Then eventually, the Ark lands on ground, the dove comes back with a branch in its mouth, and they leave.
God makes a covenant with Noah and his family, and promises to never flood the whole earth again. Eventually, Noah gets crazy drunk and his kids have to cover his nakedness. Eventually, generations later (which passes through the tragically named, Nimrod), people attempt to make a tower that leads to Heaven. God doesn't like that and separates people by skin and language.
