When god kills off most of humanity in Genesis and brings the others into heaven the same cycle will occur with mankind eventualy being corrupted and consuming heaven as they did earth.

[[WMG: This movie depicts [[Creator/KevinSmith Jay and Silent Bob's]] interpretations of the Biblical story.]]
The movie was clearly written by stoners who picked up a Bible, and maybe went to Sunday school, as Jay and Silent Bob did between {{Film/Dogma}} and {{Film/Clerks II}}. Watch this movie and tell me it's not something those two space cadets would cook up after a stoned Sunday school lesson.

* In the [[TheBible original scripture]], people lived for many centuries back then, so people could have dozens if not hundreds of children. A generation could then be measured in centuries instead of our modern ~25 years interpretation.

[[WMG: The story of the film is written by Izzy of ''Film/TheFountain'']]
As pointed out on the main page, there are a lot of similarities between ''Noah'' and ''Film/TheFountain''. Since the supernatural sub plot of ''The Fountain'' is [[ShowWithinAShow a book written by Izzy]], those similarities could be an InUniverse case of AuthorAppeal. Taking that into consideration, Noah could even be set [[TheVerse in the same world]] as the in-universe ''The Fountain'' book.

God wished for Noah to also rescue as many good people as he can. But He predicted that Noah's faith in humanity will be shaken, to the point of believing they don't deserve a second chance. To help Noah and ensure the survival of humanity, He [[SpannerInTheWorks made sure Ila would be found by Noah]] after her parents were killed, so the she and Shem would fall in love, get healed by Methuselah, and give birth to twin daughters. [[BatmanGambit Knowing that seeing his granddaughters]] would shake him out of his funk.

The setting is set in a UsedFuture, the society that the Cananites have a highly advanced society by the looks of it. There is also a shot of a suspiciously sci-fi looking piece of architecture. There's also the clothing which looks more fitting for a post-apocalyptic WalkingTheEarth story. The characters just have names that are reminiscent of the Bible for familiarity's sake. Also the Watchers could easily be some form of extraterrestrial EnergyBeings.

[[WMG: In that era, pregnancy lasted shorter than nine months.]]
That's how the descendants of Cain became so very numerous in the 10 generations between Adam and Noah. Also better fits the amount of time the ark was probably afloat (ambiguous in the film, but nine months would be a long time to keep Tubal-cain secret on the ark.)

[[WMG: The animals Tubal-Cain eaten or killed were extinct animals.]]
In the graphic novel, there's sabertooths and woolly rhinos.
* They probably also include mythical creatures, or animals that are supposed to be taken as mythical, such as the scaled dog-like mammal at the beginning (my first thought was a catoblepas). Furthermore, the slaughtered animal that Noah saw just before Tubal-Cain attacked him on the Ark looked an awful lot like a dinosaur to me. A small one, but a dinosaur nonetheless.

* This is supported by the montage narrated by Noah close to the end of the film when he describes mankind's tendency towards violence, showing various attackers from different cultures and time periods attacking another, among them Roman, Egyptian, and Native American warriors, different types of knights and their Middle Eastern counterparts, samurai, and colonial-era foot soldiers.
