How Did Fire Survive Noah's Flood?

Habilis wonders: How did fire survive Noah's flood? From Silurian to Quaternary, every major period of geological record contains evidence of fire. Any ideas?

Noah's flood may not have impacted the geological record at all.
Water has unusual properties in scripture.
It also has 5 unusual properties outside of scripture.

How this relate to physical fire in physical water? Habilis thanks for response.

Fire was used by people before the flood, and caused by nature as well, and the same happened after the flood. The flood only lasted about a year, so if one doesn't assume all those fossils came from the flood, it makes perfect sense that the evidence of fire in the geological column would not be affected much by 1 year of fire being absent.

There are creationists, though, who say the entire geologic column, or at least a big chunk of it, came as the result of the flood. Finding evidence of fire throughout the geologic colum would speak against that.

Sarah right, if flood not global, no problem.

Actually, what I meant, was that even if the flood was global, if you don't consider it to have been the source of the majority of the fossil record, it wouldn't have impacted much of the evidence for fire.

Fire burn. Fire bad.

I don't understand this question.

What fire?

Unless you're talking about fire making, then that's like asking how tree planting survived the Flood.

From Silurian to Quaternary,

In Genesis-speak, those are days three, five, and six.

... every major period of geological record contains evidence of fire.

I'm going to disagree on principle here.

A google of "Silurian" says it is a time when fish life was in existence, and plant life was just starting to come on the scene.

This is contrary to the Bible, which has plant life first (Day Three), then fish (Day Five).

Any ideas?

Ya ... geologists are wrong.

The only way they can be right about fire, is maybe there were lightning strikes after Day Three that started wildfires, and geologists are interpreting that as fire making.

But I seriously doubt that, since until the Flood a mist went up from the surface of the earth and watered it.

So to avoid all this confusion, I'll just say geologists ... like any other scientists who contradict Genesis ... are wrong.

Noah obviously kept the matches in a safe dry place, if he could build something as big as the ark I'm sure he had a special place to keep his matches, anyway even if they had become wet God would have given him more, you seem to be forgetting something, when you have a God there are no such things as problems.

What matches? Matches were invented long after the bible was written, and that includes the New Testament. Noah would have used a flint to make fire, although on the ark, doing so would have been dangerous.

 

[AvilaSurfer]

Two of each kind of matches.

 

[AvilaSurfer]

Maybe two lighters too.

Really?

 

[Subduction Zone]

Really?

The Ark as described in Genesis would have been extremely poorly ventilated. Think of all of the methane build up.

 

[AHH who-stole-my-name]

Are you guys telling me that you really think that 40 day and 40 nights of rain made those who went through the flood forget how to create fire?

There would not have been a methane build up because methane only exists in reality and anyway have you never heard of miracles? do you honestly think God would have allowed an explosion to scupper his well thought out plans? (the face palm smiley has been removed)

Can your brain comprehend that some people actually believe that Noah's ark really existed?

Yup, I can absolutely comprehend that some people believe that Noah's ark existed. Don't be condescending.
Also, beyond the methane build up, a lot of animals are afraid of fire, so there is also that.

No one is saying that; the issue arises from there being evidence of fire in fossil layers many creationists attribute to being laid down by the flood.

Oh yes, of course I can. And I would have used an "eek" smilely if it was there to show that I was joking of course.

The Ark myth fails on so many levels that it is just a joke today. Yes some people may believe it. I am not terribly sensitive if adults believe in Santa Claus and claim that he must be real. I am not too sensitive about people that seriously try to debate bout the Noah's Ark story either.

And the thought of the Ark exploding due to a concentration of effluent was rather humorous in my mind. A ridiculous end to a ridiculous story.
