There's a lake in my area where there are islands people jokingly named the "Sometimes Islands" because sometimes they're there, sometimes they're not, as the water level varies from summer to summer, year to year. There are other parts of the lake where there are dead trees sometimes sticking up out of the water, but these islands may be submerged for two or three years, and in a dry year, as soon as the islands appear, the trees on the islands begin to have green leaves. I've never understood how they're not dead after a two or three year submersion.

Evidently not just a few plants like willows or mangroves, but all plants can survive being under a lot of water for a bit over 10 months. There's no mention of having to stop off at Arizona to pick up the cacti before the flood started.
The flood consisted of rain and whatever the 'fountains of the deep' are. I'll assume fresh water, and it is lighter than salt water so just forms a very deep layer on top
Sooo, no problem for the river fish as they would have been in fresh water, and this isn't like dumping trees in the sea because the water that flooded the trees would have been fresh too.
Basically what I'm thinking is the first person to successfully grow a big orchard on the floor of Lake Michigan could do a lot to increase our arable land area, help the World's food supply, and make a lot of money.
"The flood consisted of rain and whatever the 'fountains of the deep' are. I'll assume fresh water, and it is lighter than salt water so just forms a very deep layer on top"
w8...is this still poe?
because that phenomena would kill almost all marine life, not to mention cook it.
"Sooo, no problem for the river fish as they would have been in fresh water, and this isn't like dumping trees in the sea because the water that flooded the trees would have been fresh too."
nooo, all freshwater fish would die because of the mixing of water, not to forget the heat.
and it all depends on where the trees stood, if the flood was wolrdwide, almost all tires must have been covered in salty water, and would have died.
(40 days is a LOT of time for diffusion of salts)
"Evidently not just a few plants like willows or mangroves, but all plants can survive being under a lot of water for a bit over 10 months."
evidently ey?
how about providing that evidence.
and you DO understand that willows will only survive fresh water and mangroves had a vast amount of time to evolve into their niche.
"Basically what I'm thinking is the first person to successfully grow a big orchard on the floor of Lake Michigan could do a lot to increase our arable land area, help the World's food supply, and make a lot of money."
to bad that is biologically impossible.
go back to biology class if you are serious.

I think the last paragraph is a dead giveaway. Not to mention this poster's previous history.

Isaiah 8:12-13 (NIV) "Do not call conspiracy everything that these people call conspiracy; do not fear what they fear, and do not dread it. The Lord Almighty is the one you are to regard as holy, he is the one you are to fear, he is the one you are to dread."
I often wonder if a certain few posters in the Creation/Evolution forum are Poes.
