What about the trees?

Question

Wouldn't Noah's flood have wiped out all trees, bushes, etc? How did all the foilage repopulate?

Answer 1

I USED to go to the RIVER and I noticed that during the WINTER, when the Hydo-electric Establishment let the river down, so's people could fix-up their piers, the bushe's that used to be under the river water would start growing. Interesting, cause all most of SPRING and SUMMER, they were under the water!!!! Just something to think about, can't explain how they stayed alive, take a Botanist I guess!!!! Hope this helps........

Answer 2

Most religions and cultures begin with a deluge and a god or a hero taking people in a boat, to a mountain top, or bringing up land from under the water (creating a new land mass and drying it). So when you put them all together with science it appears that at the end of the last ice age there was an accelerated warming period with alot of flooding. People, animals, and plants survived all over the world. Many took a little of everything to higher ground with them. Some was already there. Many varieties are hardy, go into some sort of dormant state, and come back when conditions are more favorable. Global warming is usually gradual. The flood(s) was/were an example of an acceleration. We are entering an accelerated warming period now. You can expect more rapid ice melt and coastal flooding for awhile.

Answer 3

When we have natural disasters--stuff grows back naturally! How about this, it had never rained before the great flood! So how wild was it to see a man building a boat the size of 3 football fields talking about water falling from the sky! The point is when God say do you just do. Don't worry about if this happens or if that happens because God has already thought about it and made provisions for it. So Noah didn't need to worry about the trees because God only told him to worry about the living creatures.

Answer 4

You have to read what God said to Noah after the flood in Genesis 9:3. He said that I have given you every green herb. God said this after the flood, which pointed to the fact that God was going to restore the foilage.

Answer 5

Well its hard to understand fully all the things in the bible, but if you try to look into, lets say just the past on hundred years, you may notice some drastic changes to the world in which we live, for example, forms of travel, air travel, even space travel. The communications industry. The medical industry, and so forth.
But to connect what im trying to say, directly to your question, take a look at israel and how it has been a nation that had not much to offer its on people and not to the world, It was a dry, desserted type of place. And now if you see footage of that country, (besides the bombings) you will notice green, green pastures and lots of farm animals, and it is ranked 3rd in the world in selling oranges. All these types of things are but acts of God .

Answer 6

Don't you know? All the illogical things pertaining to the flood story are easily answered by this sentence: "Uh, it was a miracle. God can do whatever he wants." It's all very logical.
By the way, they just plagerized that story from Gilgamesh.

Answer 7

The oldest tree on earth is the 'Joshuah Pine' it is 4350 years old according to scientist. When was the flood? -about 4400 years ago. Figure it out.

Answer 8

I would imagine all or nearly all foiliage did die. But I don't see any problem in thinking that seeds shoots and such were able to repopulate.

Answer 9

according to the jewish religion, the flood didnt hit the trees everywhere that bad... remember, there was even a olive tree sticking out... many sure did get uprooted though.

Answer 10

god created more after the flood, right? he always has the right solutions for everything. He's like an older version of Bob Villa.
