Does it really say that only 8 human beings survived inside the ark? I've heard a different interpretation (from the late Arnold Murray), that there were more human beings on the ark than simply Noah and his family because God told Noah to take two of every "unclean flesh" and seven of every "clean flesh." The "unclean" flesh people would be those with Kenite blood, ie, descendants of Cain. The "clean" flesh people had no Kenite blood, that is, they were not descendants of Cain. There are three basic races of human beings–Caucasian, Negroid, and Mongolian. And, these races of people were created on the sixth day of creation. (Adam and Eve were created separately, in the Garden, because theirs was to be the line of the "seed of the woman" through which Christ would be born. And this would have been Noah's bloodline.) So the three basic races are what God would have been talking about when he mentioned the "kind" of people. The terms "unclean" and "clean" referred to whether the people had Kenite blood or not. So under this scenario, there would have been six people of "unclean" (Kenite) flesh, allowing two people from each race, each "kind"–two Kenites from the white race, two Kenites from the black race, and two Kenites from the Mongolian (Asian) race. And there would have been 21 people of "clean" flesh, people who were not descendants of Cain, allowing 7 people for each "kind," that is, of each race. And God would have presented these people to Noah to take on the Ark, just as God sent the animals to Noah, and also presented the three women who would be the wives of Shem, Ham, and Japhteh. Otherwise, Noah would have no way of knowing which people were "unclean," ie, descendants of Cain and which people were "clean," ie, not descendants of Cain. I don't believe that God would have presented to Noah anybody with giant blood (Nephilim blood) under any circumstances. The scenario, which Zen gave, of that giant who hitched a ride on the deck of the ark might be one of the explanations of how the giants made a comeback even after the flood. The giant could have brought a big container of food, and a blanket and straw mattress, and roughed it on the deck for 40 days under one of the eves of the Ark. He would have had plenty of rain water to drink! And he could have peed off the side of the deck–maybe he bought a chamber pot with him to dispose of his droppings over the side of the deck! So, under this calculation, there would have been 36 people who survived the flood on the Ark: Noah's family of 8 people; 6 "unclean" people, Kenites composed of two people of each of the three races; 21 "clean" people with no Kenite blood, composed of 7 people each from each of the three races; and the one giant who hitched the ride on the deck.
