What does this have to do with the above discussion? Noah has nothing
to do with evolution, or with static or changing environments (a
sudden, one-time, flood might wipe out species, but hardly constitutes
the sort of changing environment that would cause new ones to emerge.
Nor does he have anything to do with race.
Of course, if the flood had truly been worldwide, Noah could not have
gotten two of every species on the ark.

Did Jesus misspell his name too?

Perhaps. Or maybe there is an independently evolved race of
nothing-like-human intelligent beings, something that would likely
drive the Biblical literalists crazy trying to explain.

I don't consider them to be a race, just deluded fools. But they have
the right to their delusions, so long as they don't inflict them on
everyone else using government authority or funding.
