2. Plenty of people disagree on the global flood event but regardless, the Bible does not say the flood was necessarily global. Could be or could be not.

Don't be silly. All flesh. Everything that is in the earth. If the flood was not global, why would everything die? If they died for reasons other than the flood, why mention the flood here? Why even have a flood? Again, that is every living substance. Not just some. Note all the high hills were covered, not just some. Only Noah and his party lived. This clearly not an isolated event.It doesn't say "some of the earth" or "the known Earth", it says only "the earth". It also says that every living thing was killed (save Noah and co.). That pretty clearly describes a worldwide flood. Trying to interpret it otherwise is to mangle the intent of the text (see tagline).PS; 7) The mustard seed is not the smallest seed.Mutate and Survive

I stand corrected. It's a shame; imagine a roast chicken where everybody gets a leg.Your suggestion is a good one though. As a keen mushroom forager, I find the omission of fungi as annoying as you must find the idea of four-legged insects.Mutate and Survive

Hi Coragyps,That's a fair point. On reading up a bit more though, I note that the ostrich does not "warmeth her eggs in the ground", both parents incubate them. I will do some editing tomorrow and get that one up to scratch. For now, it's way past bedtime.I still think the Bible is a bit hard on the ostrich though. Where do they expect it to nest, up a tree? And why does it do these silly things? A bit rich then, to blame the poor ostrich for God's shortcomings.Mutate and Survive
