Lets assume that Noah and his one man crew managed to magically fill noahs ark with a years supply of fruit, plants, etc. Well then what did all of the meat eating animals eat? They cant eat other animals because that would kill off species of animals. What did they eat for an entire year?

Grimey, just to sort out a few inaccuracies, It rained for 40 days and 40 nights, but you're right, Noah and the animals were stuck on the ark while the waters subsided, which took about a year before they could leave the ark. While I'm sure it doesn't help you much, the ark was not a one man crew. Noah had his wife, three sons and their three wives. As for providing food, the Bible says God told Noah to store what he needs for himself and for all the animals, and "Noah did: according to all that God had commanded him, so he did" Gen. 6, 22. As for Christians coming up with "plausible" answers, I don't really understand. Noah and the ark are in the old testament. I'm sure Christians aren't the only ones with theories on it. Hope it helps.

This is one of many questions about the flood that cannot be answered without invoking the miraculous. But the miraculous would have also have to include the removal of all the evidence that the flood had ever happened. Everything creationists claim as evidence is easily debunked. by anyone who understands the relevant science. Miraculously removing evidence such as a world wide flood layer and genetic bottlenecks in every species about 4500 years ago would make God a deceiver.

Who says they had to eat anything? Who says God didn't miraculously provide daily sustenance? Think of the manna in the desert. Think of the miracle of the loaves and the fishes.
Once you can accept the miracle of a man with a 120-year ministry of ark building and prophesying that rain would fall (when it never before that point had,) the oceans would be unleashed from their boundaries, and a global flood would occur, why do you think such a God would suddenly be confounded and unable to find a solution for feeding the carniverous ark inhabitants?
What you really mean to say is, "Since no one can explain this single bibilcal account using human logic, the entire book is a farce, and I am not accountable to do the things it instructs me to do." All unbelievers must always find their way to defend their unbelief. We believers understand that, and we pray that God will one day open your eyes to the truth that is Jesus Christ.

Good question but I have no answer. So that means "dieting" already existed during Noah's time and these meatt-eating animals started that trend. He-hi-hi!

Noah had a three man crew, his sons. And since this is a fairy tale they all ate hay and drank water.

They were on the Ark for 40 days, not a year.
Anyway, I'd assume Noah just took um to Mickey D's or something. I don't think even the deluge would be enough to wipe out that franchise.
