Did Noah build aquariums on the ark?

http://216.150.3.251/uploads/noahs-ark-zoom.jpg

According to the good book, after Adam and Eve named all of the animals on the entire planet, Noah then builds an ark, (with instructions from god) that saves every species of animal we see today from the great flood.

How did Noah save the freshwater fish? Did Noah build aquariums on the ark? If he didn't, then freshwater fish like trout would die when the earth was flooded with saltwater. There are millions of species of animals, plants, freshwater fish, insects, and fungi that live all over the planet and require a veriety of very specific climates to survive. Did Noah build the heating system nessesary to keep cacti species dry and hot while water was flooding the earth? Did Noah build unique habitats for millions of different species?

Remember that Noah lived in the bronze age. Now does it make more sense that Noah did all that, or does it make more sense that this might be a silly story that didn't actually happen? Any thoughts?

 

 

 

 

Sidenote:

How did north american grizzly bears get to the ark? How did austrailian kangaroos get to the ark?

There are many cases of small scale floods that have crossed over salt and fresh water bodies. Naturally, the two sections remained apart; there is no argument against the infallibility of God's Word here. In fact, there are places in the world today that have a barrier between the salt and fresh water zones of one single standing body of water.

As to the side note: Creationists and Intelligent Design theorists do not deny secondary speciation (microevolution). Continued from that: many believe that pangaea was real before the flood. As a result of the flood the continents began to split apart. Moreover, there are two ideas as to how kangaroos and other like animals got to the places that we see them in today. The first is that there was a land bridge after the continents moved. The second is that the intense natural disasters that would have existed for many years after the flood caused the continents to continue moving after partially separating as a result of the flood allowing time for the animals to settle.

:) I think its funny how you try to sound scientific as you spout this religious garbage.

As a result of the flood the continents began to split apart.

This is simply not the reason that Pangaea broke up. This concept is your invention, and you hoped no one would know any better. Fortunately, I know better. I happen to be taking a geology course right now.

Continents break up due to "rifting", that is, a parting of the earths lithosphere due to the earths internal processes. Not a mythical flood 4000 years ago, duh.

Creationists and Intelligent Design theorists do not deny secondary speciation (microevolution).

Evolution is an extremely slow process. In the big scope of time on earth, that fictional flood just happened yesterday.

Moreover, there are two ideas as to how kangaroos and other like animals got to the places that we see them in today. The first is that there was a land bridge

This argument is boarder line retarded. If there was a land bridge, kangaroos would end up on both sides of it. Why are kangaroos only in Australia?

Your logic is totally flawed, of course you are not basing any of this in logic, you are trying to make scientific fact work into your silly book of fairy tales. It makes you look ridiculous.

What the fuck is "speciation"? Did you just make that up too?

I've already taken a geology course. And simply taking a geology course does not mean that they are automatically correct.

Have you heard of isostatic adjustment? Psalm 104:5-9 refers to it; this explains how pangaea could have happened.

As a second note, there are many theories as to why continental drift happens: there is not just one.

Evolution is an extremely slow process. In the big scope of time on earth, that fictional flood just happened yesterday.

Yet, in reality the earth isn't that old... but who's to know?

This argument is boarder line retarded. If there was a land bridge, kangaroos would end up on both sides of it. Why are kangaroos only in Australia?

And why do you say that?

Your logic is totally flawed, of course you are not basing any of this in logic, you are trying to make scientific fact work into your silly book of fairy tales. It makes you look ridiculous. / What the fuck is "speciation"? Did you just make that up too?

And that is where I take my leave.

not with complete coverage for 40 days. Where did he stored seeds for 275,000 different plants that wouldn't made it under water?

Story is retarded BS stolen from Gilgamesh. How in ship long 135m, wide 22m, tall 13.5m you could store seeds for 275 000 plants and more than million of different animal species.

How did they feed them?

What they lived from after the flood? No plants anymore just swamp?

no offence to christians but this is just a story,and is somewhat like a fairy tale,cows who jump over the moon and Santa Claus.

Side: This story is retarded

He did not bring fish inside the Ark because fish could live in the water.
