God instructed Noah to build an ark and fill it with two of each kind. By the time the waters receded, all the earth was barren, and it was time to begin again.
Noah preserved the diversity of species that had existed before the flood---he took two of each kind and the earth was replenished. Strictly speaking, Noah did some big damage to genetic diversity.
Extinction is unusually troubling because it seems incompatible with God’s purposes as revealed in the story of Noah’s flood. If God valued animals enough to have Noah mount a heroic rescue effort to prevent them from perishing in the flood, then surly God would not look the other way as they gradually died out after the flood.
If we presume the Genesis account is historically and scientifically correct there are questions that must be addressed:
If the flood was global and Noah preached for one-hundred-twenty years to whom did Noah preach and how did he travel?
How many dinosaurs fit on the ark?
How did Noah stop the predators from eating the prey?
