-Then Noah built an altar to the Lord and took some of every clean animal and some of every clean bird and offered burnt offerings on the altar. 21 And when the Lord smelled the pleasing aroma, the Lord said in his heart, “I will never again curse1 the ground because of man, for the intention of man’s heart is evil from his youth. Neither will I ever again strike down every living creature as I have done. 22 While the earth remains, seedtime and harvest, cold and heat, summer and winter, day and night, shall not cease.”

-There is a lot in this psalm, a lot to recognize. Several important points ...
+Let us recall the situation as described in the flood story. God just destroyed most of mankind. Just Noah
+and his family remained. So following this story, we are all descendents from Noah. We are all coming from
+one origin. You might find the story to be a piece of fiction. But it is quite interesting that modern
+genetics can analyse the rate of evolution of the human genome, and that this supports a rather short history
+of the human race (with all details to be discussed, of course).
