I would suspect that there was no such thing as mathematical forumlae before the Flood

Sorry, fellow. Mathematics preempts even deities on an existential chain. God (assuming his existence) does not create, mandate, nor have power over mathematical and logical truth -- he is subject to them as much as his creations are.
For cripe's sakes, he's contradicting his own magic book - the size of the Ark is given in cubits! The freaking Bible contains math!
The only way anything could beat this for Post of the Week is if someone gets really, truly idiotic on Thanksgiving.

"Sob, I can't, I just can't! I don't know how many that is. Word problems won't be invented until after we all drown in the flood!"
I suspect that there weren't any vikings or buccaneers in the world around the time of the flood either, 'cuz they would've taken all of Noah's animals, sold his kids into slavery, "courted" Mrs. Noah, several times, and generally beaten the living daylights out of Noah. On a side-note, perhaps this mythological "Noah" character refers to some prehistoric guy who figured out how to put together some planks to make the first water-worthy raft, and all the Abrahamic babble was just added to it later to give the god of Abraham another proverbial notch in the belt.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
