You bring up a good point. God directed Noah to save all the animals, but what about the plants? They would have been wiped out.

Got brought the animals to Noah.
God did not forget about even one leaf. He's pretty smart.

The "World" was the spread of man. Geography is not an issue.
Plants were not on the Ark or sea creatures.

The purpose was to cleans the earth of evil men, not make sure
the whole globe got wet.

"The world" that perished was the human empire. God did not
need to dip the globe in water.

That would be biblically incorrect. The language of the Bible clearly tells us the flood was global.

Considering water seeks it own level....how were the mountains of an area covered and the flood held to a local area?
It's these little details local floodites leave out.

God did not hand pick animals intended to eat each other on the trip.
It wouldn't matter.

Correct.

Every plant on the face of the earth was destroyed.

Geography was not the issue of the flood. The issue was the evil of mankind.
The story has NOTHING to do with geography. Becasue God was not taking
issue with the globe, then the globe was not an issue.

"The entire world" is not a description of dirt and rock.
"The entire world" is a description of a human system of evil
that was too extensive to continue. The language used
has nothing to do with geography because dirt had not sinned.

If you can show that dirt and rock had sinned, then you can
change the meaning to all the dirt and rock that existed.
But it's not a story about geology and you can't force it into one.

For the most part they were....they all sank in the flood, were buried and became our fossil fuels.

Some of the vegetation survived on floating vegetation mats..and re-rooted post flood.

now, I've been here before...you'll try to show there was no floating veggie mats...then I'll post pictures of floating veggie mats.......then you'll ask another question.

18,000 new "species" are found every year. "Species" is a modern scientific term.
The Ark only need the basic animals God had planned for the Ark to survive.
They had all the needed characteristics to re-populate the earth.

So, you are saying that evolution took over after the flood?

Got brought the animals to Noah.

Yup, God is smart, smarter than any of us. However, as beings created in the image of God, we are pretty smart too. Smart enough to interpret the Bible and separate allegory from literalism, but still able to grasp the truth of the teachings.

You're reply makes no sense....let me ask the question again.....the Bible tells us the tall mountains were covered with water....HOW, can this happen in a local flood especially when we understand water seeks its own level?

I know about floating veg mats. But they are not mentioned in the Bible. You are assuming facts not in evidence.

Some of the christians here disqualify the physical possibility of feeding the animals...what will they think about the miraculous.
They aren't taught to think about the miraculous, except to deny it.

Sir Robert Anderson:

Faith is not the normal attitude of the human mind towards things Divine. The earnest doubter, therefore, is entitled to respect and sympathy. But what judgment shall be meted out to those who delight to proclaim themselves doubters, while claiming to be ministers of a religion of which FAITH is the essential characteristic?​

Until a few years ago I was against YEC and a global flood, and I was quite vocal about it. But I kept reading these texts in my yearly Bible schedule, and they say what they say. I resolved to take God at his word, and it blessed my soul. When you read the Bible, God is saying to you, "this happened".

Happy birthday!

Understanding Gods work, should not only be done through scripture. I would ask you, if in a position where you studied Gods work through creation (in this case geology), if you found that evidence for a global flood did not exist, but rather, evidence for calmness existed, what would it mean to you? Did satan change things to fool us?

Some assume that scientists just dont know what they are talking about, but what if hypothetically we did know what we were talking about, and we were correct that the earth shows us calmness and not a chaotic all destructive global flood? You do not have to believe either way, but hypothetically, what if what we said was true?

Why would floating veggie mats have to be mentioned I the Bible? We know under similar conditions the mats can form and exist.

Then again I suppose Noah had to jump between each of the arks levels because the Bible doesn't mention stairs, ramps or ladders.

Just more gymnastics that literalists have to go through to make an allegorical story look literal.

That sounds an awfully close to evolution.

Don't tell me you actually believe in evolutionism? Adam and Eve were not real???

The difference here is micro-evolution verses macro-evolutionism. Do you understand the difference or do you need an explanation?
