“The Genesis Account” by Jonathan Sarfati

Noah’s arc has so many problems. One of those problems would be that if it actually flooded the entire earth up to the top of mountains, the salinity in the ocean would have been massively reduced, killing most of the animals in the ocean. Likewise, any animals that are used to fresh water like lakes and rivers would also die because the water is too salty for them. Animals that live in the water are adapted for the salinity of the water around them. Changing that, in either direction, would cause the organisms living in the water die pretty quickly. So Noah might have saved all of the land animals and flying animals, but all the life in the oceans would be extinct.

Another issue is feeding these various animals diet. Remember you brought up wolves. Carnivores eat only meat and then there's also omnivore creatures as well. How did they supply fresh or even rancid meat? Then the other issue would be supplying fresh non polluted water. Can't be drinking salt water.

Not to mention it would have been the youngest viable animals so small

Still tho, there's no possible way all those animals could even survive the boat ride. Just their diets alone were so vastly different that they couldnt be adequately ment, let alone most of the animals on Earth dont even live near the Middle East. Where were the kangaroos or koalas or panda bears in the Bible?

So basically all these animals and different species we have today would not only have to evolve but evolve at an even faster rate than scientists would believe. They travelled thousands of miles to get to the boat. Amphibians that need freshwater to live? Did Noah take a fish tank on the ark to house them? And what happened to all the insects? Did they just all drown and God then recreated them again?

Well, I'd say there was more than one ship to the rescue, or high mountain. Don't count on the bible to list all the survivors, either.

[Jaycelestra]

it was actually God who took the animals in the ark.... He of course knows which kinds to bring in....
