A few points and question I would like addressed.
1.) The ocean has a high salininty. When the "world" flooded, it would have mixed with the oceans, diluting it some, but still have a high salt content. This water would have covered the earth, depostiting saltwater all across the surface of the earth. The water alone would have killed of most the plants on the surface of the earth. Then, as the waters receded, you would be left with a land of mud ( which still had salt water mixed with it). As it dried, you would have been left with soil so contaminated with salt that it would be useless for growing crops.
2.) If the ark had only roughly 16 thousand organisms, how do we account for the millions of species today? This seems to require alot of evolution to generate the numbers of species on the planet, and at a rate that would be observable over a few generations!
3.)If insects were persona non-grata, how the heck did they survive forty days and forty nights of floods?
4.)Oh by the way, if you can't give an exact time of the flood, can you give an estimate? Withing even a few hundred years, either way? Please?
