How did Noah catch every species of insect in the world?

Question

With an estimated 10,000,000 insect species on earth, the weight of the bugs would have exceeded all of the other animals and the Ark as well.

And they wouldn't have been able to survive a world wide flood without proper refuge.

Answer 1

Sweetie, don't you know?

3 1/3 million on Noah's Ark.
3 1/3 million on the Asian Ark.
3 1/3 million on the Inca's Ark.

Answer 2

"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 3

this is how he did it, he got some gasoline and burned the house down,--- i watched something on the history channel about how the wood used would never have been able to hold even 2 of half the worlds animals-how did he get to south America and all those other places?
he probably got some sheep a few women and allot of whatever type of alcohol they had back then"wine presumably" and when the flood came that only affected that part of the area he got off and made up a big story.

Answer 4

Let's do a bit of math:
10,000,000 bugs X .1 ounce avg weight = 62,500 pounds


How about an extremely large avg weight for every bug? Is one ounce enough?
10,000,000 bugs X 1 ounce avg weight = 620,500 pounds

Or even a ludicrous weight:
10,000,000 bugs X 10 ounce avg weight = 6,250,000 pounds

The only figure which comes close to posing a problem with the numbers you gave is a 10 ounce average bug weight. This results in 3,125 tons of creepy crawlies, which is well within the capacity of an ocean going vessel of its size. (Ponce class vessels can haul roughly 30,000 tons and are comparable in size to the ark)

Have you checked your figures?

Lastly, Noah did NOT have to go catch the animals, God brought them to Him. It is logically inconsistent to argue based on scripture for one point, then to ignore what the same passage has to say about your other point.

Answer 5

you purchased it incorrect. God despatched Noah the animals, because on the time in basic terms God does no longer recognize which pairs of animals might want to have the completed gene pool. From the pairs with the completed gene pool, operating example, each and each of the sorts of canines grow to be with the help of the technique of speciation/help of the genes in the sorts. did you recognize that from a guy and a lady with the completed skin color genes, scientifically different shades in existence at present might want to be created, which include the tens of millions plus shades of skin shades.

Answer 6

I would like to know how 10,000,000 insect species came out of the same swamp water that all of the animals and humans were supposed to climb out of.

Answer 7

God brought to the ark species that needed to be on the ark. Noah didn't have to catch anything.

Answer 8

No. Remember? God provided all the animals for the ark.

Answer 9

Maybe all the species we have now evolved from the species noah took on the ark.

Answer 10

He only needed the eggs.

Hey, why don't creationist use that as a solution to all these problems. You'd only need to collect the viviparous animals, you could have eggs and god could keep them warm but not too warm you know...

It still wouldn't work, but at least they'd be trying to solve it.
