How did animals repopulate the world after the "Great Flood"?

Question

You have one pair of animals. You must have inbreeding and genetic inferiority. Mother mates with son and father mates with daughter. Can you hear the banjo music? Yes, I know this may work with insects but, it doesn't work very with mammals.Maybe Noah was casting for The Hills Have Eyes.

Don what is Ginetics. Can I have some wisdom?

Trix wagen, That was insanely funny! Great comment!!!!!!!!!

Answer 1

Actually, there were seven clean and two unclean of every type of animal on the ark.

And no, this doesn't work with insects. Why? Because there are over 800,000 types of insects. Did Noah and the boys collect them all? Noah was a drunk, remember. Even a sober guy could only collect a few hundred types of insects before screaming, "Guess these bugs ain't gonna make it, lord. Sorry!"

Answer 2

Probably because the only place it flooded if it even flooded was just where he lived at the time and not the whole planet. If the whole planet would of flooded he wouldnt of ended up in the same place he started since the currents would of taken him around the world. The bird would nt of come back with a branch in its beak since after 10 months of everything being under water everything would of been mush.
Just like the cats didnt eat the mice or the lions eat everyone else. Or how was he able to even collect all the animals of the earth . Like he walked to Africa to pick up a pair of hippos and elephants and giraffes. He must of also stopped by the Purina company and picked up a few hundred tons of Lion and Dog and Cat and Hamster and horse and cow and sheep and so on chow. Or they didnt eat the whole time? Or I know they sat around eatting everyones poop since there sure would of been alot of it after 10 months .
I think someone was on a real good one when they wrote the stories of the bible. I wonder if they had LSD back in those days because all those people sound like they were all tripping hard.

Answer 3

That's just yet another reason not to take the Bible literally. Ancient peoples had oral stories passed on from generation to generation about a great flood. Do we really believe it flooded the entire earth? No, it was the way they answered questions like "why is part of the earth covered in water?" To those people the "world" as they experienced it was what was around them, so to have a flood meant the earth was flooded.

Answer 4

Sorry for your error! In those days there was much less distortion of the Ginetic pool by radiation and food sources... That IS the way it happened.

Answer 5

I think it does work with majortiy of species......I personally don't believe that Noah rounded up all those critters, he would have had to make a fair dash around the continents!!

I thought the muties from the Hills have Eyes were attractive, well rounded, charming in their social skills and etiquette.......ha ha ha....not!

Answer 6

Better yet.. how did penguins and polar bears make it to the hot deserts of Isreal and survive there? They both live on ice and can't survive in the water for more than a day or two. I doubt Noah was able to build a freezer for them to live in.

Answer 7

who's to say inbreeding occured ? There were animals roaming the earth before the flood.
If you really think about it we all started from Noah's family.Seems like we did interbreed !

Answer 8

superstar warning signs are thoroughly irrelivant of greatness. In modern-day English colleges, students born in September are extra statistically probable to attain fulfillment in recreation than those in August, so that you may want to choose the superstar sign up that way in case you needed. The features of individuals born less than superstar warning signs are merely similar with assistance from twist of destiny, if in any respect.

Answer 9

It was not a global flood.

Noah’s deluge. To understand you have to start with Gen.6:1.
Gen.6:1 And it came to pass, when men began to multiply on the face of the earth, and daughters were born unto them,
The word “men” is Heb. (ha-adham) means “the man Adam” or his progeny. The word “them” is referring to Adam and Eve. The scripture is talking about Adam and Eve’s clan and not mankind. Mankind a subject for another time.
Gen.6:2 That the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they were fair; and they took them wives of all which they chose.
The term “sons of God” means angels or fallen angels. The word “men” again means Adam and Eve’s progeny or clan. Satan was trying to corrupt God’s plan. That is, from umbilical cord to umbilical cord would come Christ. This is why Eve is called “the mother of all living”.
Gen.6:9 These are the generations of Noah: Noah was a just man and perfect in his generations, and Noah walked with God.
The word “perfect” Heb. (tamin) means “without blemish as to breed or pedigree”.
Gen.6:17 And, behold, I, even I, do bring a flood of waters upon the earth, to destroy all flesh, wherein is the breath of life, from under heaven; and every thing that is in the earth shall die.
The word “earth” Heb. (erets) means “land”, not the whole earth. Besides God says, “to destroy all flesh” in Adam’s clan.
Gen.7:24 And the waters prevailed upon the earth an hundred and fifty days.
Gen.8:11 And the dove came in to him in the evening; and, lo, in her mouth was an olive leaf pluckt off: so Noah knew that the waters were abated from off the earth.
If the entire globe had been under water 150 days, where did this olive leaf (pluckt off) come from.
Gen 9:11 And I will establish my covenant with you; neither shall all flesh be cut off any more by the waters of a flood; neither shall there any more be a flood to destroy the earth.
Remember what God said in Gen.6:17, “to destroy all flesh”. Here God makes a covenant with Noah and his sons. Neither shall all flesh be cut off any more. Neither shall there any more be a flood to destroy the earth. Two floods. One for flesh, Noah’s deluge. One to destroy the earth back in Gen.1:2. The global flood is a subject for another time.
Some consider the plateau of Pamir to be the original Eden. This probably was the homeland of Adam's descendants up until the time of the Flood. Today it’s known as the Tarim Basin or Eastern Turkestan. This region is surrounded by a ridge of very high mountains forming a gigantic basin in the midst of them. It measures 1,000 miles long and is about 350 miles wide.
Ussher’s Chronology says 2348 B.C., Davidson says November 2345 B.C. to November 2344 B.C. for Noah’s deluge.
Records of the Sumerians in Mesopotamia., their King Lists date to about 3350 B.C., and show an ongoing civilization well through the period of the flood. Egypt felt nothing of the deluge, they had an uninterrupted succession of Dynasties. China's civilization during the Yao Dynasty (between 2400 B.C. – 2200 B.C.) with no record of a cataclysmic interruption.
So Noah’s deluge was a local flood. But there was a global flood in Gen.1:2. Study II Pet.3:5-7, Jer.4:23-27.
Psa.104:6 Thou coveredst it with the deep as with a garment: the waters stood above the mountains. Psa.104:7 At thy rebuke they fled; at the voice of thy thunder they hasted away.
Gen 1:6 And God said, Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters.

Answer 10

I want to know why he allowed fire ants on the ark.

Fire ants are the most useless creature God invented.
