If he produced the water via a miracle he could have taken it away and even cleared up any traces of the whole event if he so chose.
If it was not a miracle then how d ...[text shortened]... e the animals all perfect then? Or did they (blasphemy) have beneficial mutations at some point?
1. since we know(well some of us anyway) that the flood could not have existed in accordance with physics laws, it is reasonable to assume god intervened and miracled his flood. the question is why did god break the laws he set into place and why did he erase all evidence to the even?
2. i think you can estimate the time from the obituary that precedes the noah story where it says who died and at what age.
3 ? doesn't say
4 maybe the people who made up the story didn't know that sweet water fish cannot survive in salt water. so they didn't think this aspect through.
5 if adam and eve could have been the ancestors of the wicked pre-noah world, noah and his wife and his three sons with their wives is actually a bounty of genetic material. also some say that the black race descend from ham and was cursed by god to be slave to the other races which them american bastards took as excuse for slavery Genesis 9 21-27(happy fun times, moving on)
6 again god intervened. like he did with adam and eve and the first animals. so instead of designing a mechanism by which creation could evolve by itself(see the nutty evolutionists) he personally took care that each species procreate through magic(every good christian knows sex is yucky) until enough genetic material was around. and then god allowed them to have sex finally. and he saw that it was good
