Some plant species would survive 40 days underwater, but many would become extinct. Did Noah carry all animals from Earth, or was it all animals from the Universe?

I'm picturing Fred and Wilma holding down Bugs and Porky, who are squirming and leaping to escape. The Road Runner would definitely get out of the large room below deck. Did Fred, I mean Noah, chain the animals?

Was sex allowed? Some animals, like mosquitoes, live less than 40 days and must reproduce. Did Noah make a valiant effort to preserve houseflies and rats for our benefit?

Have you ever heard of seeds? You can store seeds for years and they will grow.

As for the insects... Well they would be present in the arch and reproduce at the rate you mentioned. It's actually not that hard. And.... Larva from all these insects can outlive an entire season; which is what they do presently.

Just cause someone asks a question doesn't mean you have to pull an answer out of your ass.

Well then the questions shouldn't come out of their ass. Don't get all snooty because all of what I posted can hypothetically work in the scenario.

I'm just answering at the same level of respect as the questions asked.

'Tis true
 
I didn;t mean to disrespect. I was honestly wondering how they kept every species of animal on earth separate and fed for over a year.

Well it was portrayed that way. Sorry if you were honestly asking questions FAMS.
 
Would it be possible for modern man to put a pair of every living creature on an aircraft carrier and keep them all alive for a year without leaving the ship (for added supplies/tech/information/specialists) and stowing them in wood boxes?

Seems to we'd probably fuck it up and some of those critters would die, since lots of animals have all kinds of quirks that make it difficult to project how they'd handle a year of captivity in a closed environment that may be dryer/warmer/wetter/colder than what they are used to.

It's a lot to ask of modern society in terms of cost, planning and infrastructure. It's hard to imagine some 480 year old bronze-age codger pulling it off.
 
Anyway, my older son (age 7) is pretty religious by inclination. So I tried to explain the crucifixion to him. Did a google image search for nice visuals. After a long discussion about it he asked the usual, "So how does the Easter bunny fit?" I smiled and shrugged and said, "Magic, I guess." He laughed pretty hard, which was a relief to me because he was about to go to bed and I wanted to end on a high note. Those pictures were pretty grim.

My wife and I are very non-religious, but I think we'll take him to church next Sunday for the first time. Kid's got a right to make up his own mind. Besides, I think there's a lot of value for everyone in taking some time and quietly contemplating your life every week. It may be quite good for us.

Even though I lack the ability to have faith in entities that I can't prove exist, I have never left a church service saying "man, I really wish I didn't come here". The solitude for that hour is actually refreshing, although I haven't been since early last fall.

My youngest daughter (8 years-old) went through a similar stage to your son, in that she wanted to know about God. She wants to go next weekend, and I think I'm going to take her to a Lutheran service. We did Catholic the last time, just because that's how I grew up.

Yep. Effectively, Lutheran = Catholic Lite.

I guess they would never be able to get fresh air?

Nothing quite like a Mags reload.

Happy Easter, everyone!!

I want to go tomorrow but I always wear a nice suit when going to church and I'm so disabled that I don't think I can put it on even with my wife's help. For the first time I may go in a T-shirt and sweat pants.
ABM's T-shirt which I love.

I'm sure you would rock that t-shirt, Lanny! If anyone could engineer that look, you could!

We had an amazing Easter. Wonderful morning service at church, then we hosted the whole family in our new little home. Great food, great fellowship, and great egg hunt for the kiddos! Yes, money was involved.

Wife and I tested Covid positive Thursday, so church was not on the table for us. Had to miss out on the Good Friday service too (obviously). Hung out at home, sang songs and watched the service from our couch.

Not the same, but better than nothing.

More of an inconvenience for me than anything else. I feel fine; just annoyed that I can't go anywhere or do anything. My wife was the one that was sick, and really the only reason I even tested. She's better now though.
