If God was purging the Earth, he killed all the protists too. Yet they're still here today. I seriously doubt Noah went around with his petri dishes, "Okay, here's a euglena, there's an amoeba, here are some paramecium..." People have found fossils of protists dating millions, even billions of years back. People in Noah's time didn't know bacteria and protists existed; they thought diseases were caused by magic. If God had told Noah to go get the protists, how could he have seen them? The microscope wouldn't be around for quite some time. And while bacteria might've made it through the flood, not all protists would. Euglenas and paramecia are found in freshwater; the saltwater of the sea would harm them. Admittedly, there are some parasitic species which conceivably could've hitched a ride on the animals on Noah's Ark, but not all protists are parasitic. Slime molds live on land, and would've drowned during the flood. And then how would Noah have kept them on the Ark?

Did you not read my question? Some of them couldn't have lived through it and couldn't have hitched a ride.

Fish or whatever your name is, they've found fossils of protists dating back to 2 billion years ago.

Memory, my point is that he didn't. Your answer implies that I should forgive about science and *just* believe, which is stupid.

Noah made seaweed agar and got samples of all the bacteria. He had great eyesight. Then he got a paramecium, euglena, ameoba, hydra, and such and saved the world.
Water salinity and the implosion and explosion of creatures are the Devil's lies ; )

Never heard of Noah's Lab?
I dont believe in Noah's arc but you should remember that fresh water and salt water do form very distint layers even in the ocean.
Tha Amazon river for example pushes fresh water huge distances in to the ocean.
The fact that an argument sounds ridiculous is no reason to dismiss it. We could ask : If Noah didnt build an ark, then how come we are all here?
I still dont believe it though.

I think you already know whether the story of Noah's Ark is literally true, and nothing said in response to your question is going to change your knowledge about that.

God knew that those little guys would survive anyway, so there was no need for Noah to go around collecting them.

Your not going to change the minds of fundamentalists with logic and common sense.
Look at what they believe as literal truth.
You can hit them over the head with as many facts as you like and they will still say "God did it!"
Nice try though!

The earth was pure at the time of the Ark. It was mankind who was evil. After the flood, decay came to the world.
Typical scientists, 2 billion years ago. Are you sure it wasn't 1.8 billion years ago. To say something is that old is crazy.

.....what the ****? You're overthinking this abit much.
Take into condsideration that if God can flood the whole world in a matter of minutes i'm sure he can find a way to keep these "protists" alive, one way or another.
