Then what did he do after the flood? Personally "drop" every plant and animal off at its location in the world? Many species have never encounted each other ever before or existed in certain parts of the world, so cannot be all dumped at the first shore Noah came to.
>>>The plants were relocated by migrating peoples. As for the animals, they speciated.
You mean to say that the amazon rainforests are there because people migrated to south america and put them there....along with every blade of grass in all the barely inhabited parts of the world?
How are you sure of those dimensions? because the bible says so? As a history student as well as science we are taught not to just trust one source. People have different accounts in history and as they are passed down the ages change.
Speciation IS a form of evolution, evolution is a change in the frequency of alleles in a population...maybe the United Kingdom is merely a third world backwater in the view of some now but that is the accepted academic definition of evolution by the academic authorities such as exam boards and educational publications (which are tied to the power structure of government), and when speciation occurs, the frequency of alleles in the breakaway part of the population changes... magically... evolution.
Admittely the seed idea is viable...however it would be a mammoth task for man to reterraform the entire earth, it is the stuff of science fiction. It wouldnt be possible today and we have the largest population ever present on this earth currently as well as the obvious technological advantages, I mean we cant even stop polluting the planet let alone make one....(hitchhikers guide to the galaxyesque)
The thought of all the animals coming out of the ark on completion of the journey is ecological chaos...say Noah docked in a small Japanese harbour, all these animals would be released into the same area, when many species have never ever encounted each other and evolved on opposite sides of the earth. The ecological balance would be tipped and some species would die out very easily from shock from their new habitat and also would be predated by other animals for which they do not usually encouter naturally and very vunerable. Only one of the pair has to be killed (also by disease, all animals, including humans- we are just very apt these days at curing ourselves, are prone to the devastating effects of hostile microorganisms) and that species is extinct. In the backwater that is the UK we have a problem with the native red squirrel being completely wiped out by the American Grey squirrel which was imported here by accident. And this is just an interspecies competition issue, they do not predate each other...this problem would be ten fold worse with two competing species one for which had a taste for the other suddenly introduced into the same area (anyway it has been proven that modern species evolved/speciated - both are fairly interchangable- from ancestors in different areas of the globe)
Insects would have been able to have had offspring during the 150 day period easily as well as some small mammals, birds and reptiles. The butterfly very likely predates human existance by millions of years, as do all insects in existance
I am pretty sure I have read somewhere that the small domestic like cat evolved from the great cats of Africa like the lion, travelling northwards into the desert where they adapted for the dry conditions such as being smaller to retain heat at night and decrease water consumption. I am pretty sure (although feel free to check, Im sure u'll find its true) that lions predate humans by a very long way so would not have speciated especially within historical literary memory (eg. the bible) as speciation/evolution takes a very very long time of countless chance mutations, with ones randomly to a organisms advantage allowing it to prevail over others and form a new species. Lions = very much older than human race. Infact your not going to find many animal species of any distinction from the creature you think they speciated from will have speciated at all during the existance of humans.... I think you will find we were all apes at the time :roll:
*Note* As for those links.....do you think you can find a reference to your ideas from a non-religious neutral site?
