The Amazing Violent/Non-Violent Flood

if you believe that all the animals could eat reeds, then you could imagine a system whereby Noah just pulled down some parts of the stall wall to feed the animals, thus minimising the amount of moving fodder around. They would gradually eat themselves free!

Excellent! This certainly solves the food problem quite handily. After all, if you simply calculate how many kilos of reeds it takes to keep one animal, say a bengal tiger, alive for a year, then build the stalls accordingly you've got it made.Oh, wait a minute, that won't work. I think carnivory was supposed to have been derived from the Fall, not the Flood. Damn, back to the drawing board.BTW: I still think the "cheetah as last common ancestor for all life on Earth" is the best explanation. The reed boat hypothesis doesn't falsify that idea. Your reed stalls kept the herbivores alive long enough for the predators to eat them.

With respect to God and His infinite power to create and destroy should we who operate at best using 7% perhaps of our brain limit His ability to replenish the earth? He created everything in a week so why not allow Him to provide for Noah and the animals in an Earth far superior to what it is now. I refer you to Patriarchs and Prophets by EG White and the chapters beginning with The Flood. The scientific achievements of the Antediluvians far surpass anything we know today. Rene Norenburger has also written a book, which may be out of print in which certain things have been found buried deep within the earth of alloys unknown to us of this day. He mentions finding models of airplanes in a European museum, evidence of nuclear fission and certain paintings of flight alongside vases with residue of mercury pertaining to some form of fuel. We must remember the first thing the Crusaders destroyed was a nation's libraries, so much has been lost.

Humans do not use just 7% (usually stated as 10%) of their brains. Like the worldwide flood of Noah this is myth.If you are not just a troll, you may actually believe that the science achievements of the "antediluvians" far surpass anything we know today. This seems totally ridiculous to me and I suspect to any other people who haven't fallen for whatever scam you have apparently fallen for. First there was no worldwide deluge so there were no antidulivians and second I don't really think the Bronze Age sheep herders who borrowed Babylonian flood mythology and incorporated it into their origin myths had science that surpassed anything we know today. You seem to have gotten Atlantis myths mixed in with Genesis myths. I would think that anyone who used even 5% of their brain could figure out that this claim is total nonsense.I suppose that God could have recreated the earth to look as if it were billions of years old and that there never was a worldwide flood but that seems a bit deceptive to me. Of course we are talking about a Supreme Being who allegedly destroyed nearly all life on earth with a big flood in a fit of pique because his botched creation didn't turn out quite the way he wanted it to so I suppose deception is not out of bounds.Added in Edit: If you really want to discuss antediluvian science myths I suggest opening another thread somewhere. The subject of this thread is the conflict properties YECs attribute to the flood.
