in the flood, what did God do about the whales and fish and other animals that were ocean dwellers?

Question

did they go in the ark, too?

Answer 1

He let them swim.

Answer 2

Think about this logically.....it was raining, the earth was flooded. The whales and fish were in the ocean. The purpose of the Ark was to save the animals. To put the whales and fish onto the Ark would have defeated that purpose. To be put on the Ark would have killed them.

Answer 3

Well, if fish live in water and whales live in water, how would they have been affected by the flood. The flood was water, wasn't it?
When was the last time you saw a whale walk out of the ocean or a fish walk out of the water? Was this question just to earn more points? Cause this isn't the smartest question I have come across.

Answer 4

Of course they didn't go in the ark. The bible says that only land dwelling creatures went into the ark.

As far as the salt water comment, there is a few flaws with the statement. First, we don't know if the water was salt or fresh back then. Second, many experiments were done when gradually adding salt to fresh water fish tanks, they wind up surviving fine and vice versa.

Answer 5

What, do you think they would drown or something?

As far as mixing salt with fresh water, I'm sure there are many species that would not survive. But most oceanic life are egg layers. Eggs can survive much more stress.

And yes, adding a lot of water can be quite a shock. But the flood waters took 40 days to accumulate. That could be quite a gradual change. That leaves a lot of room to get over the shock factor.

Answer 6

They all died. They couldn't have possibly lived on the ark for 40 days without drying out. As you [should] know, whales are warm blooded mammals, meaning they have lungs. Too much water at one tome drowned them all; same goes for the fish.

Answer 7

Oh no! you have overwhelmed my perception in God! in basic terms kidding. you could desire to take some consumer-friendly actual technology training once you're making it to extreme college. you will learn there that salt water and clean water have different densities. particularly the only will slide precise over the different with little or no blending. So the freshwater fish could stay in clean water and the salt water fish in salt water. you additionally can parent an all effective god ought to easily discover by ability of a few ability to guard his creations.

Answer 8

Genesis 6:19

i think that ocean dwellers weren't on the ark

Answer 9

There was no flood. It's a story. But I think you're thinking too much. Animals don't sin. They weren't meant to be wiped off the face of the earth by our oh so loving God.

Answer 10

If you've ever owned fish then you know that adding a lot of water different from the water that the fish is normally existing in will kill the fish...i assume the rain was not salt water in salt water areas and so on and so forth...long story short they died too...assuming this story actually happened

Answer 11

A lot of them were killed by the suden force of the flood. others dided when the waters receded faster that they could get back to the oean that they had lived in and couldn't adapt to the newlakes and oceans that formed after wards.
