Science And The Bible - Introduction

[Tiberius]

Tiberius becomes a fundamentalist Christian...or..."Explanations I've seen fundies give to these questions".

There is no way on this Earth that it could possibly hold at least two and in some cases seven of every single species on the planet.

Baby animals are much smaller than their parents. Noah only brought babies aboard the Ark. God probably made sure they fed on their own and didn't need the parents' help.

And how did Noah get hold of all those animals from places like Australia, Japan, the Americas, the polar regions? The list goes on.

The animals came to Noah, so he didn't have to go around collecting them. All animals were near to Noah's home before the flood, and afterwards the water level was lower so there were land bridges connecting continents together. Kangaroos migrated to Australia over these bridges.

And after 40 days of global flooding does anyone really expect there to be any plant life left for the inhabitants of the ark to feed upon?

Noah took plants onto the Ark with him for food, and planted them after the flood had subsided.

And what about all those species who live in the oceans? Were they exempt from this wrath?

All ocean dwelling creatures were fine. Remember, God only wanted to destroy humanity as they had sinned and rejected His word. God had no problem with fish because they were put there to feed man. Also, whoever heard of an evil fish? EVIL FISH!
