Re-Noah's Flood
I will delight in hearing how such difficulties can be addressed.
Hi sidelined,
If you are looking for a scientific answer I do not think you will not find one.
Since you want an answer I will propose one.
In the beginning God created the heavens, the earth, man, animals,
and every living thing, in one day. I am not talking of the 7 days of Moses in Genesis 1:2 - Genesis 2:3.
Remember there was over a hundred years to get ready for the flood.
There are animals that hibernate for many months at a time.
But that aside a power that could make the universe in one day and all living things in it should not have a problem with sustaining the animal life on board the ark.
He could have put 50 feet of water on the earth in 1 nanosecond if he so desired. He could have also removed it the same way.
He spoke the trees and all vegetation into existence in the beginning why could He not do it the second or third or fourth time if necessary.
God does not need evolution for things to grow. He speaks and they exist.
So the problem is not with the flood or any other things in the Bible, save one.
The problem is Genesis 1:1.
If someone believes Genesis 1:1 they have no problem with the rest of the Bible.

Re: Re-Noah's Flood
Hi sidelined,
Indeed, so what was the point of having Noah build the ark and of flooding the earth in the first place?
Noah preached for 100 years while building the ark giving mankind time to repent.
God could just as easily have wiped the slate clean without violence
yes He could have.
he could have changed mens hearts in the blink of an eye as well.
No He does not change mans heart. Man is allowed to choose.

Re: Re-Noah's Flood
This being a science forum, God poofing up manna aplenty is not an answer.
quote:
1Kin 17:10 (KJS) So he arose and went to Zarephath. And when he came to the gate of the city, behold, the widow woman [was] there gathering of sticks: and he called to her, and said, Fetch me, I pray thee, a little water in a vessel, that I may drink.
11 And as she was going to fetch [it], he called to her, and said, Bring me, I pray thee, a morsel of bread in thine hand.
12 And she said, [As] the LORD thy God liveth, I have not a cake, but an handful of meal in a barrel, and a little oil in a cruse: and, behold, I [am] gathering two sticks, that I may go in and dress it for me and my son, that we may eat it, and die.
13 And Elijah said unto her, Fear not; go [and] do as thou hast said: but make me thereof a little cake first, and bring [it] unto me, and after make for thee and for thy son.
14 For thus saith the LORD God of Israel, The barrel of meal shall not waste, neither shall the cruse of oil fail, until the day [that] the LORD sendeth rain upon the earth. {sendeth: Heb. giveth}
15 And she went and did according to the saying of Elijah: and she, and he, and her house, did eat [many] days. {many...: or, a full year}
16 [And] the barrel of meal wasted not, neither did the cruse of oil fail, according to the word of the LORD, which he spake by Elijah. {by: Heb. by the hand of}
How about a little going a long way.
Lasting for a year.

Re: Re-Noah's Flood
How could the animals survive outside the ark when the flood had destroyed all plant life? Scientific answer, please - not Biblical.
You mean I can't tell you the dove brought back a olive leaf plucked off an olive tree. If that is what you mean then I have no answer.
But there was no scientist there to say there was not enough vegetation to sustain the animal life.

"John 5:39 (KJS) Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me."

Re: Re-Noah's Flood
You'd have to show that an olive tree can survive a year submerged in water.
WHY?
If God spoke it into existance one time at the beginning why could He not do it again?
