Did Moses take every type of corals into the Arc as well? they are living entity as well?

Question

corals can not survive rainwater, so did he dive down the ocean and dig up corals as well?

Answer 1

Well like everyone else has said the story refers to Noah not Moses, but it is academic anyway, because the story itself is total tripe.There are over 10 million species of plants and animals on the earth and more are been discovered every day. I can remember as a boy, a PRIEST coming to visit us at school one day who had spent quite some time in Brazil. He told us "Forget the Noah's ark rubbish, half an hour in the Brazilian rain forest was enough to convince me how impossible it would all be!" Good point about the corals though, some organisms are very sensitive to salinity.

Answer 2

Moses didn't take anything into any arc. And the Bible doesn't say whether Noah took corals into the ark.

Answer 3

1. It's Noah, not Moses. Get your story right first.
2. Coral in the ocean would not be affected by rainfall since they are already... underwater.

Answer 4

No, Moses did not have an Arc.

I believe your refering to Noah's Ark.

Answer 5

Moses was not associated with the Ark. It was Noah who built the Ark.

Answer 6

What is in the water during the flood was not the problem. Fish could survive the flood the problem was things that could not swim constantly for 40 days.

Answer 7

Genesis 6:19–20:
‘And of every living thing of all flesh, two of every sort shalt thou bring into the ark, to keep them alive with thee; they shall be male and female. Of fowls after their kind, and of cattle after their kind, of every creeping thing of the earth after his kind, two of every sort shall come unto thee, to keep them alive.’

Genesis 7:2–3:
‘Of every clean beast thou shalt take to thee by sevens, the male and his female: and of beasts that are not clean by two, the male and his female. Of fowls also of the air by sevens, the male and the female; to keep seed alive upon the face of all the earth.’

In the original Hebrew, the word for ‘beast’ and ‘cattle’ in these passages is the same: behemah, and it refers to land vertebrate animals in general. The word for ‘creeping things’ is remes, which has a number of different meanings in Scripture, but here it probably refers to reptiles.2 Noah did not need to take sea creatures3 because they would not necessarily be threatened with extinction by a flood. However, turbulent water would cause massive carnage, as seen in the fossil record, and many oceanic species probably did become extinct because of the Flood.

However, if God in His wisdom had decided not to preserve some ocean creatures, this was none of Noah’s business. Noah did not need to take plants either—many could have survived as seeds, and others could have survived on floating mats of vegetation. Many insects and other invertebrates were small enough to have survived on these mats as well. The Flood wiped out all land animals which breathed through nostrils except those on the Ark (Genesis 7:22). Insects do not breathe through nostrils but through tiny tubes in their exterior skeleton.

Answer 8

It was Noah with the ark. Moses was *much* later...

Answer 9

i'd say he just let them stay in the ocean where there's plenty of ocean water despite the surface rain water. noah, that is.
