How did aquatic life survive the flood in genesis?

Question

With few exceptions, aquatic life depends on a very unique condition in their environment to survive. The differences between these conditions are extremely different to salt water and fresh water life. If the earth was covered in water, how would both extremes be met in one body of water. Keep in mind that salt water is not dense enough to keep fresh water on it's surface because I know that will be a popular argument along with the cop out "anything is possible with god" answer.

Of course there was no flood, but I'm just looking at how people rationalize their faith.

For those who don't think the flood was in Genesis, need to consult their bible.

Answer 1

It was like a 50 story boat
so he dedicated a few to put giant fish tanks on
he took a mommy and a daddy whale
and all of the millions of species of fish
so he could control the saltiness of the water.

Answer 2

if the entire earth flooded the salinity of the water would be reduced. There would be no fresh water, so any aquatic life that depends on fresh water would not be able to survive. The increased amount of water would change how and where ocean currents lie, and the average temperature of the water would be higher than when there is land in the way, so the polar caps would melt causing the decrease in salinity. In effect all aquatic life would have been wiped out.
How did noah get two blue whales on the ark?

Answer 3

God hired Noah to take care of land animals during the flood, aquatic life and the vegetation was under God's responsibility, not under Noah.

How God managed to keep salinity, pH, and turbulence conditions in control to maintain all types of aquatic life alive? He could install membranes to separate fresh water animals from salt water animals, each section with the individual sets of environment parameters (salinity, pH, temperature, etc).

Or God may have let them die and created new aquatic life and land vegetation.

Answer 4

A lot of marine life was killed off, some survived and genetic variation through natural selection produced what you see today

Flood was designed to kill all land breathing animals and was aimed at destroying humans

those who kept the word fo God were saved in the ark

in the days of moses the word of God, (the 10 commandments) were carried in the ark of the covnenant.

no evidence for a world wide flood, you wonder why 70% of the world is covered in water?

Answer 5

There is no archeological evidence of a worldwide flood. They don't rationalize it. The ignore the hard questions at every opportunity.

Answer 6

There was no flood of Genesis. There is not 1 single shred of evidence to indicate such a thing. Any evidence they bring forward is similar to something you would find in a tabloid newspaper with "Bigfoot married my cousin" next to it.

Answer 7

there was no flood- and i guess athanasius doesn't realize that 40 days of rain would change the composition of bot salt and fresh water. i guess they skipped science class at his school.

Answer 8

HOW did all of the aquatic dinosaurs (who were reptiles and therefore "exempt" from "desalinization") manage to become extinct"

Conjecture away... Perhaps it will divert your brain from the mere mundane:

Christianity!

Answer 9

I maintain a belief that the Flood was not worldwide, it was localized and therefore did not have quite the drastic effect on the global ecology.

Answer 10

Dude Their was No Flood in Genesis!!!
Check the Bible!!!
