I have a question about the flood. What happened to all the dead bodies of the people when they died in the?

Question

flood. Did god evoporate them. Does the Bible mention it at all. Just wondering. Seems like a big gross mess to me.

what about the bones.
This is meant to be a serious question. I want to know what the Bible says about this. I own two Bibles (even though I am atheist) so I can not reference it right now.

Answer 1

I am an embalmer and good lord that had to stink!

Answer 2

Well, in the Beginning, God created the Earth with millions of plants and animals, but only two people. Even by the time of the Flood, 1600 years later, there may only have been a few million people worldwide.
During the Flood, the slowest animals and animals that are already at the bottom would have been buried first. Then the next slowest land animals, then smarter/faster/bigger land animals, and then apes, humans and birds would have been the last to be buried, because they can climb to the highest points, or find ways to stay afloat until the last minute, and birds can fly around until they run out of gas. Then their bodies would have floated on the surface and rotted; very few would have been buried as fossils. This is why the fossil record shows so few fossils of pre-Flood apes, humans and birds.
God chose a Flood rather than a miracle (like saying, "OK, everyone except Noah, die") because a Flood would have left evidence, whereas a miracle would not.

Answer 3

Of course you understand that God flooded the earth and all living things on the dry(Land.) leaving the fish, sharks, and whatever perhaps was in the sea at that time. (Back then the White shark sometimes expanded the length of thirty feet, able to swallow a man whole. (Captian King; Survey of Australia)) And there's also mention of "Sea monsters." So during the time of the "Great Deluge" These sea creatures could have had a feast. (Someone has already mentioned the fact that the known world back then was small.) Oh, and there's a time "Strain" during this. (It says "And God REMEMBERED Noah...") (Maybe days or weeks is my guess.) So that could explain a little.

Answer 4

There were bones that were found in many diggings and excavations made by researchers of all sort. So far those diggings have only resulted to fossils of much older man or woman than the date of the flood.
If you are thinking that some or most of them were taken in rapture like what many writers are speculating about the end of the world, I believe the Bible was so exact as to what happens in the body when someone dies.
Typical of the big floods we have seen or experience in this generation,the news about the bodies are varied...some were discovered dead, some went with raging waters, some buried in the mud, some were found floating in the water, some were not found at all and as time past, some were found decayed or just a mere skeleton. Eventually through the course of time, even their names will vanish in the memory of those who knew them. The mess would not even be remembered. All will only be a record of past and many were not probably even recorded.

Answer 5

The earth's population was probably less than a billion persons, so there wouldn't have been as many corpses as you'd think.

But seriously, the more important question is why, if this event only took place a few thousand years ago, don't we find evidence of it in the soil records? We have global deposits of iridium from asteroid impacts that took place millions of years ago, but NO record of a supposed recent engulfment of the earth in water?

Deluded people will pretty much believe anything. Just look at the collapse of the formerly rational Tom Cruise.

Answer 6

I'm sure it was a mess. I don't5 see it anywhere in the Bible. It took about a year from the time the rain started until the land was dry enough for them to exit the boat. I imagine the flesh was gone, and maybe the bones got buried as the water receded.

Answer 7

What bothers me is not any bilge pump in the Ark. That deliver will be doomed to sink. till, Noah used the useless bloated bodies to keep the water displaced. So, he must have placed the bodies in the Ark's bilge. That one furnish you with the outcomes you want? I also consider Warrior on all information. exceptionally the second one. Wanna guess the actual Ark grow to be possibly about 20 ft in length and he kept some his kinfolk and left some thing else to drown. would to boot. you does no longer be in a position to breathe at that 9000 Psi from each and each and every of the water. If that aspect grow to be 450X65X45 ft as claimed it may well be the first water tight deliver ever even one hundred ft lengthy. If watertight the cusp ( again or important backbone of the deliver) will be damaged on the first wave. i assume Noah had the first T-Rex pushed bilge pump, reason that infant will be taking on lots of water. Water condenses and swimming pools from the interior. Even worse at the same time as raining. no longer to educate the waves. an fairly stupid, humorous tale. i love the Easter Bunny more beneficial advantageous for being achievable. humorous you suggested it yet Gilgamesh grow to be mortal. As were maximum pagan gods. and they made blunders, a useless ringer for the god in the Bible...... yet they gained't admit it. keep in suggestions god killed a pair thousand Israelites at the same time as David did the census incorrect. and David replaced his suggestions at the same time as he suggested he grow to be the single which would want to be punished. i love the different pagan gods. end of them comes at the same time as there'll be an afternoon adult men now no longer want gods. i imagine it is now that we've technology and a a lot more beneficial understanding. The Bible basically gained't undergo as a lot as medical data. yet some attempt to apply technology to educate their factors and brushing off different technology as some thing the devil does to confuse. And if we do not trust we've hardened hearts. My heart isn't hardened. some peoples' heads are. they decline data.

Answer 8

Taking this story literally, the whole planet would have stunk from the billions of rotting corpses.
But the great thing about God is that he can do anything, so he could just make those bodies disappear.

NOTE: God is fiction, lies, fake, delusion.

Answer 9

Great White Sharks.

Answer 10

The scavenger animals ate them..... no, wait, they all were dead!

Maybe Noah's sons buried 'em. Big job, tho.

Seems you've another reason it could not have happened.

Answer 11

They decomposed. Dead things make excellent fertilizer.
