Does this pond need to be cleaned up first before eight fish are placed in it to replenish it?

What does this have to do with science?

I know exactly where AV is going with this, believe it or not. It's kind of scary how I've learned to follow exactly how he thinks over the years.

I understand the ”point” he think he is making. But that has nothing to do with science.

Yes. Generally speaking, living things do not thrive in industrial waste.

How this relates to Noah's Ark and God the omnipotent janitor is a connection only you can make.

Did it previously have fish in it?

Yes, that pond needs to be cleaned up before fish are able to survive in it.

But if we were capable of creating fish in any way we wish, then we could just create fish that could survive in the pond as it is, and then no clean up is required.

What's your point? Lemme guess, it's about God destroying the evidence of what he did while still leaving documentation of what he did?

It's called "cleaning up after yourself."

And He did it so effectively, we wouldn't know it if He hadn't documented it.

I know that whenever I clean something up, I add a bunch of remnants of thousands of other messes that never actually happened.

Do you think God left a scar behind, when He ...

Genesis 2:21 And the LORD God caused a deep sleep to fall upon Adam, and he slept: and he took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh instead thereof;

Or, if you don't believe that really happened as documented ... if it was ... would you believe that?

So what makes the documentation trustworthy?

Good question. If I had some documentation that said my backyard was used to dump nuclear waste, but all examination of my backyard revealed no indication that it had ever happened, should I still believe the documentation?

Do you think Voldemort left a scar when he tried to kill baby Harry?

If we go by your reasoning, He would have left thousands of scars from operations that never actually happened.

I suggest you visit the Channeled Scablands in Oregon and Washington states sometime. Not only are they a perfect example of what the results of large scale, catastrophic flooding actually look like, but it's also a very beautiful natural wonder. So you can appreciate it even if you don't learn anything.
