Why would we do that GCS? The OP didn't say that we all had the same DNA.... just a link that links us to the same original parents... And my guess would be that they are locked up because they are guilty.... not because of who their original parents were...
Genomic mapping has also demonstrated that we have roughly the same number of genes as a chicken. Does that means that ancestral Eve was a hen? Of course not. And there is no reason to believe that ancestral Eve was anything but a member of a population of first humans, not a rib ripped out of Adam's side. People, stop taking these fairy tales seriously. That's all they are.
Why don't you folks do a scientific test. See what the salinity of the oceans would have been during the global flood in Noah's day and then build a container around some of these trees mentioned and see if they survive for x number of days? I am not a tree-ologist so I don't know how they were not destroyed. I just know they did survive.
I have a better idea. Explain where the water came from - better yet, explain where it went afterwards.
The flood story is older than the Bible. It first appears in Mesopotamia. And Noah lived in Ur, which is north of Baghdad, along the Euphrates River, a river that has a long history of devastating floods. That's where your flood story originated. Get over it already.

He/they can't get over it. They're stuck in a spiritual tar pit. All they can do is bellow impotently.

In all fairness, according to the Bible, the water was suspended about the earth, in some sort of magical bubble. However, that begs a question, if raindrops are pulled to the Earth because of gravity, why not this bubble of water, was the Earths gravity not strong enough to pull this in, I'm sure there is a logical explanation for this. We also have the fountains of the Earth erupting with water, now if they can explain where the water went after it was pushed out of the Earth. Once water is here on this planet it never just disappears, it's always here, so where did the water go.
It's questions like these, that go unanswered in any logical way that makes this story just a story.

The story makes sense when read in the context of how the ancient Hebrews viewed the world:
Of course they were wrong, but they didn't know any better at the time.
