Bio: EVERYONE KNOWS it wasn't like that.
To begin with, they make it sound as if there wasn't any argument; as if there wasn't any panic - no one being pushed aside - no one being trampled - none of the animals howling - none of the people screaming blue murder. They make it sound as if the only people who wanted to get on board were Doctor Noyes and his family. Presumably, everyone else (the rest of the human race, so to speak) stood off waving gaily, behind a distance barricade; SPECTATORS WILL NOT CROSS THE YELLOW LINE and: THANK YOU FOR YOUR CO-OPERATION. With all the baggage neatly labelled :WANTED or NOT WANTED ON THE VOYAGE.
They also make it sound as if there wasn't any dread - Noah and his sons relaxed on the poop deck, sipping port and smoking cigars beneath a blue and white striped awning - probably wearing yachting caps, white ducks and blazers. Mrs. Noyes and her daughters-in-law fluttering up the ganglank - neat and tidy - dry beneath their umbrellas - turning and calling; "goodbye, everybody!" And all their friends shouting; "bon voyage!" while the daughters-in-law hand over their tickets, smiling and laughing -everyone being piped aboard and a band playing Rule Britannia and Over the Sea to Skye. Flags and banners and a booming cannon .... like an excursion.

Well. It wasn't an excursion. It was the end of the world.
