More than these, the amount of water needed to cover the Earth to a depth 20 feet higher than the mountains is absolutely staggering.
Yes, I've been thinking about this one: as all the water was pouring onto the Earth, the air would have been displaced at tremendous speeds. This alone would cause unprecidented winds.At first I was thinking because there is always higher winds at higher elevations, don;t know how the higher sea level would effect that, but also because there is nothing to obstruct the wind making it free to swirl the entire globe.
Aha! As I said above, all the water would poach the Earth, yes? Well, this is only after they have fallen a certain distance (because as they fall they speed up, and hence heat up). So, right up by the clouds the rain water would only be a little bit hot!One could argue that the sea currents could bring warmth or that the cold air would be raised higher up I suppose, but right now higher usually means colder. Much colder when we are talking the tops of the highest mountians.
Ah, they probably weren't all that big...The swells are caused by the wind the moon and the mountians under the water. Better try again on that one.
There are a ... lot of problems with Noah's Ark and the global flood plus the conditions at the end.
Which is a poor way of dodging questions asking about something other than Genesis 1.Nothing God can't handle, though. This is why I tell people that if they can't get past Genesis 1, they're in for a doosey of a ride, as it only gets worse from there.

It's always puzzled me why all marsupials went to Australia et al. All of them, without exception.
Well that's convenient.

Don't you mean really bad, since Australia is small?If this is true - (and I have no reason to doubt it) - then I would say that at the time of the Pangaea split, God "broke off" Australia, making sure all the marsupials went with it. Since only about 100 years had passed since the Flood when God did this, only a "handful" of marsupials would have been in existence; and given the size of Australia, I'd say the likelihood of getting all the marsupials in one shot was very good.
Somehow I don't think he was 'defending the faith'...
Did God make all the marsupials go to Australia and prevent all but a small group from keeping the horsies?
How many pairs of beetles did Noah take on the ark?

Why would he do such a thing?If this is true - (and I have no reason to doubt it) - then I would say that at the time of the Pangaea split, God "broke off" Australia, making sure all the marsupials went with it.
Hardly. The marsupials on the Ark would be distributed from Mt. Ararat as uniformly as other animals from Australia's current climate. The odds that they all just so happened to wander onto the same area of land within 100 years (this is from Turkey to Australia, mind!) without leaving any breeding pairs behind, nor evidence of their trek, is mind-bogglingSince only about 100 years had passed since the Flood when God did this, only a "handful" of marsupials would have been in existence; and given the size of Australia, I'd say the likelihood of getting all the marsupials in one shot was very good.
I never said you were.Do I look like I'm dodging questions?

God could have sent five times that much water if He chose to.
That's a shame, because there are currently around 350,000 known species of beetles, with more being discovered all the time.I don't know.

Where did they go?

As I pointed out with the coyote, the number of species doesn't mean anything. You could have 1000 species of domestic dog, 1000 species of dingo, 1000 species of wolves, 1000 species of coyote, and all that would have had to board the ark were a male and female coyote.
