it seems pretty unfair to let all the aquatic animals skate after everything they contributed to the wickedness of man.

Something has to eat all of those land animal carcasses. Noah shouldn't have to step out of the boat and see all of that carnage.

[Mrs. Gooch]

So did all the fish and other sea creatures die in the flood? If so, how?

No, it clearly stated creatures with nostrils that walk the ground and birds.

23 Every living thing on the face of the earth was wiped out; people and animals and the creatures that move along the ground and the birds were wiped from the earth. Only Noah was left, and those with him in the ark.

It clearly says animals AND the creatures that move along the ground; not just the land animals.

So, how did Noah preserve 2 of each sea creature? Did he have an aquarium on the ark?

[Rage Against the McKee]

They wouldn't have gone on to mention nostrils if they meant sea creatures, Mrs. Gooch. A fish was not an animal to an early man like Noah.

I remember liking the jericho story involving a wall or fortress. But that there was a wall, fortress, etc. is the extent of what I remember from the story.

I think it came crumbling down......

I just looked it up on wikipedia.  There was an espionage and whore component to the story that I think is what grabbed me.  The middle part is pretty lame.

Joshua sent spies to Jericho, the first city of Canaan to be taken, and discovered that the land was in fear of Israel and their God. The Israelites marched around the walls once every day for seven days with the priests and the Ark of the Covenant. On the seventh day they marched seven times around the walls, then the priests blew their ram's horns, the Israelites raised a great shout, and the walls of the city fell. Following God's law of herem the Israelites took no slaves or plunder but slaughtered every man, woman and child in Jericho, sparing only Rahab, a Canaanite prostitute who had sheltered the spies, and her family.

Wait, so was noah before or after adam and eve?

I watched raiders of the lost arc this weekend so that arc of the covenant stuff actually is semi-familiar

[Cartierfor3]

Wait, so was noah before or after adam and eve?

after.

seals have nostrils, but they aren't creatures on dry land that have the breath of life in them.  god is so obvious with that dry land loophole.

How long can a seal go without coming up on land to rest?

[sys]

forty days and forty nights.

[sys]

or is that just how long it rained?  they can go however long they had to go.  or maybe longer, afaik, god just tested them that one time.

[Rage Against the McKee]

The people who wrote down what God told them to wouldn't have even known what a seal was. God probably just didn't feel like it was worth the time to explain how he didn't actually kill any of the seals and why they were good enough to breathe the air and not die. His point was made.

[star seed 7]

Wait, so was noah before or after adam and eve?

after.

So how are there people now if God genocided all the peeps except noah?

his fam, all his sons and their wives and junk were on board the Ark also.

[catastrophe]

Does Hebrew have a word for seal?

[star seed 7]

Alright, good enough for me!

Also, for all the atheist libtards who believe in evolution, there were probably fewer animal species back in Noah's day.

[sys]

oh, they knew what seals were alright.

No, there were way more.

[Mrs. Gooch]

[sys]

in the water is not on the face, mrs. gooch.

[Asteriskhead]

I'm fairly certain that none of it is supposed to be taken literally.
