so noah builds his arc and puts two of every animal on the boat. the world floods and kills every thing except the animals on noahs boat, except anything that can swim or fly. so if god really was trying to start over then why did he let the fishys and birds live?

If He didn't let the Fish live, there would be nothing for hypochristians to adorn their rear bumpers with and shade tree plumbers to use in their Jesus Marketing campaigns.
God bless

There was no other way. And for all we know he did do something to kill off some of the fish. Birds couldn't flt non-stop for forty days could they? And it was to "cleanse" the earth which we would automatically think of water anyway.
Maybe he left the fishies to swim around and knock the people out of their boats who had them. Noah wouldn't have been the onty one with a boat. Many people had fishing boats before that. Think revenge of the fishies. LOL

Well, first off, if things can swim, Noah wouldn't need to put them in his Ark. That'd just take up extra room that could go to another animal. And if they can fly, they could probably fly to his boat, since it'd likely be the only thing around.
It was just the people that the bible says God wanted to wipe out, not the animals, fish, etc. The people were doing bad things, so why punish the animals?

God wasn't starting over with the animals, but just with the people. Had the other animals been able to live, he would have left them all there to be alive, but as it was, he had to save them on the arc. The flood was God trying to start over with the people, because they were doing evil things. The animals, including birds and fishies, were not doing evil things.

I've seen people on here say that the birds and the fish lived through it. I don't know about the fish, but I don't think birds lived through it, or Noah wouldn't have taken some on board with him.
Remember, that's how he knew the water was receding. When the bird came back to him with a branch.

Did you ever consider that the Bible has been edited over and over, and that maybe, in all that editing, they may have omitted part of the story that told how Noahs family didn't really take all those creatures on board, but actually took DNA? Just a possibility you know, but it could have happened that way.

Just to those of you who insisted that God didn't kill the fish... because they could swim:
Fresh water fish wouldn't be able to live in the brackish water
Ever put a fresh water fish in a salt water tank? What about the other way around.... or do you suppose that god magically fixed it so that all the fish could live no matter what type of water they had evolved to live in?
Think about your answers before you answer people... try not to be stupid!

Your question is biblically wrong. This is because you do not know what the bible says, and you believe what you hear instead of knowing the facts. You should be asking yourself why you do not actually read the bible, and also ask yourself the purpose behind asking questions that could appear foolish.

I really don't believe that any birds survived and to answer your question with a question. ( DO FISHYS AND BIRDS SIN )
