So then why would he create nature in such a way as having to circumvent it with 'magic' when ever He wanted something done? Would it not make more sense that the god who created nature create it in such a way as to not have to do everything supernaturally?
That said the reason God used Noah is found in the first few verses of gen 6. Noah and His House Hold were faithful and righteous. God saved the world though Noah's righteousness and faithfulness.

Quote:What happened to the fish, salt water fish die in fresh water, fresh water fish die in salt water, did he just magic up a divider in the water to keep the salty water seperate from the fresh?Salt water and fresh water does not mix at or on large scale unless agitated.. Fresh water is lighter and would be up top, then a layer of brackish water where a small percent of the salt and fresh did mix (water down salt water due to the agitation provided by the wind and waves) then the heavier salt water will be on the bottom. This brackish layer would cause most fist to turn and go back where they came from keeping the two Ecco systems separate.
Fl's aquifer (All of Florid'a under ground drinking water) sits on top of sea water, sometimes with no brackish water barrier. It is very beautiful to see, you can google: where fresh water meets salt water. I'd post a link but the 30/30 rule says I can't.
