Think about it, it supposedly rained for forty days and forty nights. The world was underwater for about a year. Even if there was an arc that could hold all of the animals that needed to be held plus a years worth of rations and partitions to keep carnivores from killing other animals. the flood would've killed all non-aquatic plant life. In short there would be nothing for the herbivores to eat. Also as there are some animals that are carnivores (lions, tigers, bears etc) they would need to kill other animals to survive. As there were only two of each animal (14 of each animal used in sacrifice) and as carnivores would need to eat daily they would wipe out many herbivores and eventually each other. How did plant life survive? how did the animals not kill each other in the time immediately after the flood?
Please, no jargon about how I am an evil atheist and no attacks on science or evolution as I didn't mention science or evolution.
Please stay on topic people.

If such a worldwide flood really happened, it would result in a mass extinction. Very few organisms would survive. Just the fact that the planets is now teeming with life is proof against such a flood.

Other problems with this story-aquatic animals are usually freshwater or saltwater; a world wide flood would mix the two water types and most aquatic life would have been killed.
Of course the determined Bible thumper can still say something along the lines of 'God can do anything'. Sigh. There's just no reasoning with fantasy.

The fish would have died with changing levels of salt in both fresh waters and then flooded oceans.
Plant life would have died in a year of being submerged under semi salty water.
Many animals don't breed in pairs or have a hive mentality.
So much humidity would have caused many mammals to drown just breathing the air.
I could fill a page if I could remember all of the fallacies concerning the ark that have been brought up here.

The genesis account predates all floods. I remember in school the instructor might do some thing that i think handed off with the story of the flood. we would take a seat in a circle. She might whisper a narrative in someone's ear. He might bypass that tale to the subsequent guy or woman and so on. with the aid of the time it worked it relatively is way around the room. lots of the story became replaced. the consumer-friendly topic became there yet, human beings further and made alterations. With the flood over centuries as human beings moved from place to place . they might bypass the story directly to their families. over the years, human beings further their custom in. yet, the final topic remained. God destroyed mankind with the aid of flood, and a guy became prompt to construct an ark. This shows the biblical account is definitely authentic.....Mark

since noah found land I assume the flood receeded enough to start again.
answer me this. how can you walk down the cement parking lot and see a weed growing in the middle of it.
life come from within the earth and pushes out. Where and when it does it is the deciphering key as to what it will turn out to be.

I don't think the sea life died and animals have more intelligence than people because they know how to get along and they don't hate.
