Your still talking over probably 100,000 animals in one boat. and the question still remains how did every animal in the world resettle into different parts of the world when there were still massive oceans in their way.Bovey wrote:By the wording of the question I would have to say no. I agree with Ray, Noah took two of every kind of animal, not two of every animal. He took two dogs with him on the ark, not two poodles, two black labs, etc. The question I'm going to ask you is why did Noah build the ark bigger than he needed?

Bovey wrote:Well from my knowledge as a freshman in highschool animals were transported from place to place when Noahs descendents migrated out into the world, they adapted to different climates and thats how you get all of the species of animals today. As far as the animals getting across the oceans I don't know much. Answers in Genesis, I assume you've heard of them (and if not I'm sorry), they have people who specialize in subjects like that but I haven't really looked into it, heres a link to their website. http://www.answersingenesis.org/ Hope that helps a little. Note there used to be a land bridge from Alaska to Russia, that may be a possible answer.
And can that not happen in a couple thousand years?Murray wrote:Bovey wrote:Well from my knowledge as a freshman in highschool animals were transported from place to place when Noahs descendents migrated out into the world, they adapted to different climates and thats how you get all of the species of animals today.

That would mean that over 500,000 species of animals would have to had cross the land bridge and spread out through the Americas

And if all the animals were dumped out in mount Ararat, I'm assuming the penguins and walruses wouldn't have survived to long. Which brings me to another thing, migration to Antarctica. Did the cute little penguins swim there.
All in all, local flood theory makes more sense.
