jclalor 12 #5 December 1, 2008 Since there is way more salt water than fresh water I would ask how did all the fresh water fish survive? Then again, as mere mortals we should never EVER question the word of the creator, who is all knowing and powerful. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They pollinate flowers, and serve as food for frogs, fish and birds. Mosquitos do spread bacteria and viruses, but those are also part of the ecosystem. Without mosquitos, many of these organisms would die out.

With strong resistance or tolerance for these diseases, the species becomes more strong. Or maybe he wanted to leave them behind, but they followed anyway without his knowledge.

Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites riddler 0 #19 December 1, 2008 Bible didn't say there were fish tanks. And of course, the Bible is the ultimate authority on everything, so it must be true By the way, there are no other planets, because they were not mentioned in the Bible. And America doesn't exist either, since it wasn't mentioned. I wouldn't be too worried about the salt-water fish. Although the higher waters and the resulting wave action would cause a lot of coral to die within 40 days, and the majority of ocean fish rely on the coral to survive. Still, they probably would have fared OK, since it wasn't too long. And the ocean predators would have loved all the fresh meat. Even the fresh-water fish probably did OK. Of course the salination would be completely different than today's ocean because all the new water came from rain - those clouds were working pretty hard to flood the entire earth - so it's likely that both fresh and salt water fish could survive a slight difference in the salt content. Trapped on the surface of a sphere.

If all the ice in Antarctica melted seas would rise by 200 feet. If Greenland melted they'd rise by another 20. If all the water in the atmosphere was precipitated out you'd get another 2 inches. So worst case it would be under 250 feet of sea level rise. It would flood a lot of the coasts but wouldn't even submerge 20% of the US. Florida, the Mississippi river states and the Southeast would get hit pretty hard though. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites shropshire 0 #22 December 1, 2008 Cheers Bill...
