Why was there such a great flood? Who were spared by God? How? Why did Noah send out a raven and then a dove? What does the rainbow mean?

13 The Story of Noah's Ark: Men increase… evil spread…Noah found favor … command…an ark … Noah sent out a raven, and it kept flying back and forth until the water had dried up from the earth. …When the dove returned to him in the evening, there in its beak was a freshly plucked olive leaf! Then Noah knew that the water had receded from the earth.

14 The rainbow And God said, “This is the sign of the covenant(盟约) I am making between me and you and every living creature with you, a covenant for all generations to come: I have set my rainbow in the clouds, and it will be the sign of the covenant between me and the earth: Never again will all life be cut off by the waters of a flood; never again will there be a flood to destroy the earth.”

Noah’s Ark is aimed at collecting eggs, embryos(胚胎), semen and DNA of endangered animals and storing them in liquid nitrogen(氢). If certain species should become extinct, Dr. Duane Kraemer, a professor in Texas A & M’s College of Veterinary Medicine, says there would be enough of the basic building blocks to reintroduce the species in the future. ..... The aim of “Noah’s Ark” project is to _______. A. make efforts to clone the endangered pandas B. save endangered animals from dying out C. collect DNA of endangered animals to study D. transfer the nuclear of one animal to another
