But for the verse about marrying your rapist that was true back then and serious Jews should probably still do it (logically, since they don't accept Jesus) but we have a New Covenant now. Its one of the prophecies that were fulfilled by Jesus (see Jeremiah 31:31 for example).
Hebrews 8:13 By calling this covenant “new,” he has made the first one obsolete; and what is obsolete and outdated will soon disappear.

So when the water was flooding right over the top of mount Ararat it didn't run away sideways and cover the rest of the mountains as well; it sort of piled up just on the mountains that the ancient Hebrews knew?
Look, friend, there are kangaroos now so there were kangaroos on the ark, OK!
