Creation & EvolutionForum for the discussion of this important topic. This forum is open to non-believers. There is a Christians-only forum in the Christians-only section too.
All animals coincidentally decided to fast for a while after the flood.
there is only a pair of ach animals left after the flood...they must a fast for quite a long long amount of time before they can eat againg so as not to distrct the food chain!
OK, so they ate plants. Which plants? The ones buried under five miles of sediment or the ones that had spent several months floating around in seawater along with a bunch of decomposing animals?
You underestimate the durability of Biblical plants. :rolleyes:

How come no one's suggested the animals became photosynthetic for a short time? You know, micro-evolution and all that.
I can just see AiG using that excuse now...

Hmmm, I notice no creationists have ventured an answer. Creationists, I know you're out there. Surely if the evidence supports the Biblical flood, you'd have workable scenario for something as trivial as what the animals ate as the ecosystems re-established themselves?

You know I at one time considered the whole "they'd eat carrion" response. Then I watched a show on defense mechanisms for various animals...one of the defenses is "playing dead". Most predators don't like things that are already dead, I hadn't considered that in light of the post-flood food supply issue before. And we aren't talking about "newly" dead bodies...we're talking about bloating decomposing carcases [sp?]!

Maybe they ate crabs. Underwater carion eaters would have thrived. Assuming they weren't killed by the million tons of rock that was scoured off the continents.
-Salt killing plants
-Decomposition
-Special diets (go Koala! Eat oak leaf! Come on... eat herb than... ohhh come on...)
-Killer instinct (come on panther... eat from that rotten salty high-pressure-modified carcass... come on... not the cow... NOT THE COW!)

Well, you see, at this period of time animals were much more disciplined and obedient. After all, God was constantly throwing them into and out of gardens, getting people to shove them on arks and the like. So when they were asked to do something simple, like fast for a decade or five, they were up to the challenge.
This only seems ridiculous now because animals have gotten lazy and easily distractible.
