Fish must be very holy

[Drich]

Do you guys who all claim to want scientific proof of everything, look for it in anything? Salt water and fresh water does not readily mix.

The fresh water fish would live up top and the salt water would migrate lower. Where the two types of water met... Brackish water.

You could make a case that there isn't enough mixing in 40 days to cause a big enough salinity problem but you'll still have a temperature problem. The salt water layer would begin miles deep causing the temperature to plummet too low for most species to survive. All corals and all plant life (both aquatic and marine) would die. Of course all terrestrial plant life would die as well.

what makes you think the water level rose miles? Wouldn't meters/feet be a more accurate measure of water table rise?

It's almost like the people who wrote the story didn't understand much about how things work in relation to altitude and different kinds of waters and ecosystems.

It's more likely that they didn't understand such things at all. And didn't care much about the fish anyway since the focus of the story was clearly on the wicked humanity that had to be destroyed.

Or maybe you two clowns don't understand the scientific principles well enough to see how the biblical account worked.
