According to the Bible, yes, everybody was killed off after the Flood except for Noah’s family123 The Bible says that God did not spare the ancient world, but saved Noah, one of eight people, a preacher of righteousness, bringing in the flood on the world of the ungodly (2 Peter 2:5)2
The Bible also says that God made a covenant with Noah and all living creatures, and never again caused the waters to become a flood13 Therefore, there were no more floods after Noah’s time. The Bible does not give us any details about how many people lived before or after the Flood, but it does give us a genealogy of Noah’s descendants from his three sons: Shem, Ham, and Japheth13
The Bible also mentions other people who survived the Flood by being in different parts of the world at different times. For example, Abraham was born in Ur of the Chaldees (Genesis 11:31), and Lot was living in Sodom when God destroyed it (Genesis 19:23-29). The Bible also tells us about other nations and peoples that emerged after the Flood, such as Canaanites, Egyptians, Babylonians, Assyrians, etc. (Genesis 10:8-12; 11:8-9; 15:13-21; 17:4-8; 18:1-16; 19:29-38).

The Bible does not give us any details about how Noah’s family made the rest of the people after the Flood. It only tells us that God made a covenant with Noah and all living creatures, and never again caused the waters to become a flood123
Some people have speculated that there was incest going on in Noah’s family, based on the fact that Ham saw his father’s nakedness and told his brothers123 Some have suggested that Ham himself did the castrating, or that he had sexual relations with Noah or his own mother12 Some have even suggested that Canaan, the son of Ham, was born from this illicit union12
However, these interpretations are not supported by the biblical text or by historical evidence. The Bible does not mention anything about incest in Noah’s family, and it does not condemn Ham for seeing his father’s nakedness. Rather, it says that Ham was cursed by his father for dishonoring him and exposing him to shame12 The Bible also says that Noah lived for 950 years after the Flood, and had many children and grandchildren12

Yes, that’s what the Bible says. God saved Noah and his family from the Flood, and he made a covenant with them and all living creatures. He also made a covenant with Abraham and his descendants, and he gave them the land of Canaan. He also made a covenant with the people of Israel, and he gave them the land of Israel. He also made a covenant with Jesus Christ, and he gave him the church. God is faithful to his promises, and he does not forget his people.
I noticed it wasn't doing it's usual "smileys" with this stuff. Somethin' ain't addin up.
Noah and his wife survived along with his three sons and their wives. There isn’t much given in terms of specifics but we can understand that everything is degenerating due to sin over time. Humans now aren’t as robust as they were back then. It’s possible that the human genome was more resistant to the dangers of inbreeding at the time or God personally helped out with successful gestations for a while, manually preventing certain issues from coming about until the population was sufficiently replaced. We really don’t know.
oh the sons had wives.. that's good. But this is like the 2 animals.. what happens after they have kids, right. There's gonna be some inbreeding.
So, you also have to consider that we’re working with the idea that there is an infinitely powerful and present God at work in this story. There probably was some inbreeding. Either way, God would be capable of preventing any excessive genetic abnormalities out of necessity. We won’t know the whole story until it’s all over though.
yeah yahweh was more involved back in those days, eh.. how about the who knows what cultures like the greeks with these big gods.. who knows what the hell went on back then ok. I think they shut 'er down with any of that supernatural type shit where those who knows what beings would step on in. Who knows about aliens from other places stopping in. I betcha in like native culture stories you got some of that, ok. There's a super clamp-down on planet earth where, no fuckin around with funny business, eh. Betcha they even somehow, lol.. "hoodwinked" yahweh himself, eh? Why's he not stepping in like those days. The US military and their fucking AI shit nailed his ass, I bet, eh?
