Habilis Wonders: How Squirrels Survive Noah's Flood With No Trees After?

[homohabilis117]

Hello, dis Habilis here. Habilis has question that he wants ask about young earth creationism: how squirrels survive in post flood environment? All trees dead. Seeds take maybe 10, or 15 years regrow. Squirrels die. Habilis thanks for responses.

Pre flood squirrels must have been able to eat a wider range of foods than modern squirrels.

Squirrels love dried corn and sunflower seeds, I know an old man that puts out cobs of dried corn and sunflower seeds everyday for them and
I have personally witnessed them eating those two things. I'm sure they eat other things too. I'm not a young earther by default either.

But, all food gone after flood, except what Noah take on ark. And even if we assume Noah took enough food to supply creatures in immediate vicinity of ark after landing on Ararat, boat smaller than Titanic. It could only have carried so much food. If Young Earth Theory accurate, this means ecosystems devastated across world, it seems probable minimum time for ecosystem recover maybe 15-20 years at best. What would squirrels eat once Noah ran out of food in first few years? But this just one example from what would be bigger problem. What did the countless predators eat after the flood? As mentioned, the amount of stores ark could carry limited: only so much meat and grains would fit. Only food source left for predators is potential progenitors of future population. However, Habilis thanks you for response. Respects your view point. Is interested hear answers. Good to have friends, even if disagree.

Miracles. I mean, if your main issue with the flood story is what the animals are afterwards, you probably would be satisfied by that explanation.

Your question assumes that Noah's "flood" was world wide. There is no evidence that is was.
Noah's flood was caused by the eruption of Thera at Santorini and the resultant storms and tidal wave only affected the Mediterranean basin.

Habilis questions young earth science making scientific claim. If miracles invoked, no longer province of science. Also, if miracle happens, even this should leave physical imprint on world. If flood miracle, imprint left makes perfect picture of an old, slowly evolving earth. Habilis thanks you for reply. Respects views.

This possible. However, Habilis questions worldwide flood theory. Not have problem with local flood.

Sarah is very much humored by this role playing. She wonders how long homohabilis117 can keep it up before they are annoyed by it.

Sarah also comments that homohabilis117's manner of making inqueries is still more coherent than some people manage when using their natural diction.

 

[Sophrosyne]

One also has to remember that taking there were 2 squirrels and they BURY nuts it is quite possible that they arrived close to an area that was full of squirrels that had buried nuts enough for the winter and now were gone that even 10 squirrels could go digging up nuts from 200 squirrels burying them for years to come.

Habilis thanks. Just wants people know things, if people smarter than habilis know more truths, world be better place. Then Habilis can relax and eat manioc. But habilis knows he can be annoying. Grammar not good, IQ not sky high. Just hopes more people can be friends.

Habilis thanks for response. But has question: you say maybe squirrel eats not that got buried before flood? Sorry, habilis IQ not sky high, misunderstood what you mean.

The simple thing is that you presuppose squirrels will starve in your OP and I have stated two reasons why they wouldn't one which was IGNORED by you totally. Squirrels can eat other things that are similar to what other animals eat like corn and sunflower seeds which would be stocked up on to feed animals in the ark.

There's your answer.

Noah's flood was caused by the eruption of Thera at Santorini and the resultant storms and tidal wave only affected the Mediterranean basin.

And since the entire Middle East is relatively low with ready run off to sea level, that water stacked itself incredibly high. Given that Noah had 100 years to prepare for a local flood and chose to build an ark rather than simply move to high ground, we have to assume that he was an idiot.

Hello, dis Habilis here.

Hello, back! Dis AV1611VET here at your service!

Habilis has question that he wants ask about young earth creationism:

AV1611VET has answer that he wants give you, but VET not YEC.

Don't matter though -- answer the same.

how squirrels survive in post flood environment?

Same way squirrels survive in pre flood environment.

All trees dead.

All old trees gone and replaced by brand new trees!

God replenish earth with plant life after Flood.

That's how dove bring olive leaf to Noah.

Genesis 8:11a And the dove came in to him in the evening; and, lo, in her mouth was an olive leaf pluckt off:

Seeds take maybe 10, or 15 years regrow.

Yes.

Left to theyselves, they take time.

But squirrels had to have they food, so God go proactive and take care of business.

Squirrels die.

No, my friend, squirrels go nuts in new environment and have good time!

Habilis thanks for responses.

AV1611VET thanks for question.

I'm kinda wondering why this thread was directed at YECs.

 

[AV1611VET]

It could only have carried so much food.

Food wasn't a problem with God.

Ever heard the story of the widow of Zarephath? or how they got the manna in the wilderness? or the quails?

And if God can change water into grape juice, He can change it into anchovy pizzas!

And the size of the Ark didn't matter, if the Ark operated like a TARDIS booth.

In fact, the Ark was too large.

 

[AV1611VET]

Miracles. I mean, if your main issue with the flood story is what the animals are afterwards, you probably would be satisfied by that explanation.

Yes, indeed.

But science doesn't allow for miracles, unless miracles are plutoed to magic, and even then they're questioned.

Heaven forbid someone who is asking about how the Flood was orchestrated would even consider miracles!
