Dear PS, The Raven and the Dove were released and the Raven did NOT return to the Ark. Gen 8:9 But the dove found no rest for the sole of her foot, and she returned unto him into the ark, for the waters were on the face of the whole earth: then he put forth his hand, and took her, and pulled her in unto him into the ark.
ONE week later:
Gen 8:11 And the dove came in to him in the evening; and, lo, in her mouth was an olive leaf pluckt off: so Noah knew that the waters were abated from off the earth.
The Ark was in the middle of a 75 mile wide Lake. The Raven flew to shore and didn't return to the Ark. The dove returned and ONE week later returned with an Olive leaf in it's mouth. The ONLY way this scenerio can be true is for the Ark to be upon a Lake, which drifted closer to land and the Dove plukt a leaf off an Olive Tree, on the Shore of the Lake.
That's because Olive Trees don't germinate, grow up, and put forth leaves, in ONE week, in the Mud, after a Flood. God Bless you.
In Love,
Aman
But a bird might not know what direction the ark was in after finding the shore, nor would it feel obligated to return should it find land. Unless the dove's mate didn't follow it, which is biologically unsound. A dove pair always travels together, a single dove only exists if it hasn't found a mate yet or its mate died, but those that have living mates never stray too far from each other.
