We are talking one billion cubic miles of water here dude. Don't be ridiculous! Where did it all go? If you are going to say it all went back into the Earth then why isn't it there now?
It's in the oceans. Flatten out the mountains and fill in the valleys of the deep and the water level would be a LOT higher than it is now.

In which time the timbers he laid on day one would have rotted away.
How so? The air was good and dry in the region. I used to live in a house build in the early 1900's and the wood was in great condition.

His 'household' consisted of 8 people. Noah, his wife, their three sons and their wives.
Speculation (commonly known as 'clutching at straws) that has no support in your Bible
So you don't think his sons had kids?

We're not talking 'breeds' here. We are talking species. Two elephants, two giraffes, two etc. etc.
yup. and modern science has a lot different view of what a "species" is today than what the types were then.
Quote:
Of course there would have been millions. There are millions of species in existence now. Many millions have gone extinct and there are millions still not discovered. ALL must be accounted for or they would have been destroyed in the flood.
How many species of giraffe do we have? Not every one of them went on the ark.

The salinity of the water is irrelevant. All plants were submerged under water for a year. With the exception of a few water plants, plants do not survive underwater.....salt or fresh.
Some would survive on flotsam. Others would survive underwater. For 150 days....6 months. (Gen 8:3)
Quote:
It is if the lake floods the plants for a year. In addition there would have been a massive amount of mud in the water....covering the plants and destroying them. How would plants survive being buried under mud?
6 months. And I've seen plants survive for a long time underwater. Plus, as we said before, no reason to believe every "species" of plant had to survive, or that every "species" we have now was alive then.

The olive leaf grew??? What...on a tree that had been submerged under water and mud for a year????
6 months. And I have no problem with believing that God allowed an olive tree to survive.

Ummmm...no mate, you're not getting it We have unbroken Egyptian and Chinese records going back to, through and before the time of your flood. How did the Egyptians manage to carry out some of their greatest monument building whilst being five miles under water.
It's in the oceans. Flatten out the mountains and fill in the valleys of the deep and the water level would be a LOT higher than it is now.
Huh???

"In the selfsame day entered Noah, and Shem, and Ham, and Japheth, the sons of Noah, and Noah’s wife, and the three wives of his sons with them, into the ark."
So you think Noah's grandchildren helped build the ark and then he sailed away and left them to drown.

Then how do we get the species that we have today. If they were not on the ark, how did they come about....evolution?

...and you think that enough would survive to feed the millions of animals that disembarked?

If they did not survive, how do we have them today?

'Goddunit' again huh?

How do you know that?
How do I know what...that the Egyptians and Chinese were around before, during and after your flood?
