It’s a good thing that one’s salvation does NOT depend on believing literally in Noah and the Ark. And it’s a good thing that following Jesus does NOT depend on believing literally in Noah and the Ark either. Christ himself said "as it was in the days of Noah, so shall it be at the coming of the Son of Man". So Jesus believed in Noah and the Ark He was referring to the story of Noah and the Ark because of the truths contained in it, not because it literally happened. Like me saying to someone about to run a cross country race against a slower opponent, "Remember Aesop's tortoise and the hare." There are valuable truths in the account, despite it never literally having occurred. Yep. Jesus used parables in His teachings, and they are clear examples of allegory and metaphor.
Every day on this side of the ground is a win.

Debunked by whom? And on what basis? Meteorology? Meteorology Geology Paleontology Dendrochronology Zoology Anthropology Archeology Mythology Zookeeping Animal Domestication Physics Chemistry Radioactive Decay It is clear that you did not even look at the titles in the playlist. If the only way you can maintain your faith is to dismiss, without consideration, any criticism of your position what does that say about your dedication to the truth? Other branches of science? Like the branch of science that that brought us the Covid vax’s? Or that from the scientists of the branch promoting human-caused climate change? Irrelevant. Nice dodge. Human bias in select presuppositions is in play. You mean the presupposition that "Magic man in the sky done it"? Science relies on a bare minimum of presuppositions. The cosmos exists. We can learn things about the cosmos. Theories that can make testable predictions are more valuable than those that cannot.

What if what happened is god took DNA from every species on earth, then destroyed the world with a flood, then reintroduced the species he wanted back into the world afterward and the story of Noah is man's interpretation of what happened.

I’ve thought about that . You would not have to feed an animal on an ark. The ark could be just an object that a human could relate to. Animals could have been also converted to dust once entering the ark and then later brought back.

Would he have to take it? Or were there species He didn’t create in the first place?

Noah was an
ALIEN!
He begat Shem, Ham, and Japheth at about 500 years old. Easy enough for a ALIEN to do.
And the Ark was a
SPACESHIP
easy enough to get above the floodwaters that way.
this stuff ain't hard to figure out folks.

Just remember this. God can do all things and never question the almighty. He is the ultimate judge in the end and we will all stand before him! That's an absolute truth. Amazing to me how many people in this world are lost and spiritually dead or blind. Jesus is the way, the truth, and the light. Believe and repent now! You're presuming he exits, a presumption for which you have not offered sufficient evidence.

I think loading everything on a boat is just a way for our minds to begin to understand.

Don’t strain yourself. Just pretend I didn’t respond.. There is no strain involved in disproving the flood myth. Your incredibly weak response was only a palsied criticism of science and did nothing to support your position.

Do you mean the Oort Cloud?
"Scientists think the Oort Cloud is a giant spherical shell surrounding our solar system. It is like a big, thick-walled bubble made of icy pieces of space debris the sizes of mountains and sometimes larger. The Oort Cloud might contain billions, or even trillions, of objects." ..."Though long-period comets observed among the planets are thought to originate in the Oort Cloud, no object has been observed in the distant Oort Cloud itself, leaving it a theoretical concept for the time being. But it remains the most widely-accepted explanation for the origin of long-period comets."- science.nasa.gov/solar-system/oort-cloud/
If you are referring to the Oort Cloud what does a theoretical concept of the origin of long-period comets have to do with the flood myth?
If you are referring to something else please explain.
