We already had thread like this and I already told how it was done. THEY CAME TO ARC. read the Book of Genesis. Then they had some sort of tranquilizer applied and fauna rested until it was over.
What were the logistics involved in getting so many wild animals onto the ark?
Was there a magic "force field" that protected the humans from the animals?
Were they miniaturized by God for the duration of the flood?
Did they have a leash?
Nothing living on the land ate meat prior to the flood. Scientists are in error. There was a water vapor layer that came down and caused the flood, after that something in the suns rays caused many beings the need for meat consumption. In Gods kingdom on the new earth, meat will not be needed--the bible teaches--The wolf( or lion) lays alongside of the lamb. means harmony amongst all of Gods creatures.
The ark was about 3 football fields long, it took 40 years to build. God easily could have created new varieties of animals after the flood occurred. He only rested from creating when the garden of Eden was present.
I haven't been to the 'Christianity' forum in a while, but, see that not much has changed ... sigh!
LOGISTICS OF THE ARK (Was there really room on the Ark?)
Science has classified one million different species of animals. With seven of every clean and two of every other kind, it would seem we need space for at least 2,500,000 animals on the ark. …. BUT, the ark was no ‘toy boat!’ It was a gigantic barge with a volume of 1,396,000 cubic feet (assuming one cubit equals 17.5 inches). The ark had a carrying capacity equal to that of 522 standard stock cars. (1) Regarding the multitude of animals: most of the list of a million are worms, insects, one-cell animals and sea creatures who would have no need to be on the ark. In fact, "there was need for no more than 35,000 individual vertebrate animals on the ark." (2) Chipmunk to elephant, let us assume the average size of an animal on the ark to be a sheep. Currently the railroad can fit 120 sheep on a stock car. Doing some fast figuring, the ark needed only to carry 292 stock cars worth of animals. Plenty of room for Noah, his family and extra hay. (By the way, contrary to popular opinion, there were not only two of every creature on the ark).
In those days, God provided 120-years of watching Noah and his sons build a huge boat in the middle of no where ... as an opportunity for anyone who was willing to come aboard. Sadly, none did, but, God's grace was affirmed in the process. Today God still provides room for all men to find salvation and room in the "Christ Ark" -- The inborn call is there and there is plenty of room, but, sadly, many are still mocking God and His people, rather than responding.

Thank you, jghorton! Always nice to read your wisdom.

So it is your belief that after the floods, animals like lions and crocodiles EVOLVED into meat eaters?
Is god not perfect? Emotions are not a sign of perfection. Emotions are knee-jerk reactions to others' comments or actions. If life is predestined, as was your salvation, why or how could god be "bothered?"
If every hair on your head is numbered, and the sparrow does not fall without the Father's knowledge, how much more does he know about humanity? To be bothered is to be taken by surprise, to be blind-sided and not have seen it coming.
Your god is no longer omniscience?
Love is an emotion. Are you saying it is imperfect to love? You only can grasp omniscience the way a computer can.
So did mortals.
Water creatures could have been meat eaters I am not sure.
We should all know how humans have evolved from the days of the primordial soup..
