Creationists, how would plants survive the flood?

Question

Just out of curiosity, how do you explain plants surviving being under water for 150 days?... There is no reasonable way they could survive, unless there was direct divine intervention (in which case, why not just let animals survive underwater all this time). If you're going to claim seeds were collected, how exactly did Noah collect Australian and South American plant seeds?...

Wow, lots of good answers... Anyway, for those implying plants evolved from a few common ancestors, Birch, Oak, Corn, Guarana, Cocoa, Banana, Coconut, Lilac, Potato, Wheat, The Venus Flytrap, Redwood, Willow, Roses, Bonzais, etc. all came from a few common ancestors in the last couple thousand years?... And despite all this, macroevolution is impossible?...

Answer 1

In the original version of the legend, the flood only lasted a week, and then Enlil and Enki decided never to destroy the human population using that particular method again. (Plagues were still fair game, though.)

Answer 2

I am not sure if you want to really know this or if you are just trying to "catch" God in error.

Let's say that you really want to know how a plant or animal survives a flood....

God had produced all the vegetation as in Genesis 1 -
11 Then God said, "Let the land produce vegetation: seed-bearing plants and trees on the land that bear fruit with seed in it, according to their various kinds." And it was so. 12 The land produced vegetation: plants bearing seed according to their kinds and trees bearing fruit with seed in it according to their kinds.

Then he created animals on the land, sea and sky..also in Genesis 1 -
20 And God said, "Let the water teem with living creatures, and let birds fly above the earth across the expanse of the sky." 21 So God created the great creatures of the sea and every living and moving thing with which the water teems, according to their kinds, and every winged bird according to its kind. And God saw that it was good. 22 God blessed them and said, "Be fruitful and increase in number and fill the water in the seas, and let the birds increase on the earth."

He commanded Noah to pair up the creatures of the earth to take survive the flood and reproduce afterward.
14 By the twenty-seventh day of the second month the earth was completely dry.
Genesis 8
15 Then God said to Noah, 16 "Come out of the ark, you and your wife and your sons and their wives. 17 Bring out every kind of living creature that is with you—the birds, the animals, and all the creatures that move along the ground—so they can multiply on the earth and be fruitful and increase in number upon it."

This is how He produced these two major groups without a botanist, scientist, zoologist or philosopher. Now what was it you needed to know about Australian plant seeds?

As for seeds, how do you know Pangaea, or a supercontinent like it, never existed in Genesis? I don't recall any verse saying the continents were in the same position as they are today. Also read Genesis 8:11, when Noah sent the dove to find land. It returned with an olive branch in its beak. Have you done extensive study on olives or other plants? Anyone who's interested, read that article.

Answer 4

On the way to Noah the animals ate every kind of seed there was and then pooed plants back into existence. Or maybe they survived the water. We don't claim to know exactly every detail of our history and neither do evolutionists or atheists.

Answer 5

needless to say, God gave them air tanks. whilst the flowers now no longer needed them, they have been discarded into the sea the place they sank. modern-day marine explorers have faith the Greeks used them to hold oil and wine, yet they're flawed. i won't be able to have faith I typed that. @Amanda18, i desire you already know that plutonium is the fabricated from Uranium, meaning that to ensure that the former to exist at present, the Earth must be a minimum of four billion years previous. attempt returned, and don't replica & paste from creationist web content--basically because of the fact they use enormous, magnificent words does not recommend that what they say is actual. besides, what do granite and mules ought to do with terrestrial flowers? Given your attempt to debunk the belief of evolution, you do no longer seem to appreciate it in any respect. no person in this web page does, extremely.

Answer 6

There is no indication in the Bible (which is the original source for this event), that plants survived. God, who placed all the vegetation on the earth in a day, surely would have no problem doing it again, if He chose to do so.

Answer 7

All the plants that are here today evolved from a few seeds that Noah brought with him.

Answer 8

They'll probably say "the seeds survive" while ignoring the thousands of pounds per square inch that would be exerted on at the bottom of the sea. Or the erosive effects of salt water. Or bacteria.

But hey, the whole flood thing violates the laws of physics, so why bother about those minor details?

Answer 9

There were two seeds from each plant aboard. There would have been a lot more plants on this world if it hadn't been for those two rats.

Answer 10

And God spake, and God sent forth his scuba equipped poly tunnels. An lo it came to pass that the trees and plants and all manner of plantly things could breathe. Apart from the sinful ones.

Have you not read your bibel
