If it was in fact a DNA bank, how would that then be used to recreate the people and animals?

It wasn't a DNA bank. It's a story of the flood that did not originate with the Hebrew Bible. Noah, if he lived at all, certainly did not build an ark and collect two of everything. But the story itself is told wit variations all over the world and reflects the end of the last ice age, about 12,800 BC. I suggest you read Graham Hancock's "Magicians of the Gods" (isbn: 978-1-250-04592-8) for an account of why this might be so. It's a pretty decent theory. No aliens required.

The known and documented world back then would have been the Mediterranean. Sea levels were around 150 meters lower during the Ice Age. etc.....

Indeed, a lot has been discovered in the last decade or so that corroborates the basic idea. Even mainstream geology has come around to the idea. I really wish Paul Allen would stop finding WWII battleships and concentrate on the offshore areas at about 400 feet. I'm guessing there is a whole lot of interesting stuff to find at that level that would pretty well cinch the deal.

Hello everyone this is really more of a question post than an information one. I have been watching the TV program Ancient Aliens. I am currently watching one called Closer Encounters from 2010. In it a man named Giorgio Tsoukalos, I'm sure most of you know the name. Anyway he's talking about Noah's flood as a possible indication of aliens in the past. The Bible says he was told to collect 2 of everything. This guy is saying that his boat wasn't a boat but a DNA bank.
So here's the question I'm hoping to get answered. If it was in fact a DNA bank, how would that then be used to recreate the people and animals? I've been watching over the years about a team of scientist's who are trying to bring back the wooly mammoth. Last I heard they were still trying to get an intact DNA profile. Once they have that they are going to use an elephant to infuse with the DNA. Then over several generations will end up with something like a wooly mammoth. If the flood killed everything and all you have is the DNA don't you still need at least a female of a similar animal too create the egg and a male to create the seaman?
If you have any answers to this question I would love to hear it
