WATERS  OF  NOAH  

From a "Questioning User" (QU15) followup to "(3) Global Flood"--

>>RC> That pretty much answers the original two questions, and some more besides, and surely there are many more questions that could be raised in a scientific analysis of the flood, such as how would the added MASS of that much water effect the length of the year and the earth's orbit, and the length of the day, etc.

>QU15> But the water went back to where it came from so the Earth's mass would have returned back to what it was before the flood. Right?

Not necessarily. If all the water was pure when it arrived, and got muddy, and was all removed, the remaining mass could be less.

I tend to think that a lot of water was leftover to form the larger bodies of water we call oceans. There were only "seas" before the flood, and no mention of clouds and no rain before the flood arrived.

From a "Questioning User" (QU15) followup to "After His Kind"--

>>RC> 3. Fleas didn't need to have separate quarters provided, since they could stay with the dogs and provide exercise for the same. (smile :)

>QU15> Fleas aren't vegetarians, they are carnivores.

Things are different now. See above; and I didn't say they chewed on the dogs, but only that they could "provide exercise." (smile :)

>>RC> "And of every living thing of all flesh, two of every sort shalt thou bring into the ark, to keep them alive with thee; they shall be male and female. Of fowls after their kind, and of cattle after their kind, of every creeping thing of the earth after his kind, two of every sort shall come unto thee, to keep them alive."(Gen.6:19,20)

>QU15> Are you saying only six animals were on board?

What got into you to ask such a question? (Be not deceived.)

"Of every clean beast thou shalt take to thee by sevens, the male and his female: and of beasts that are not clean by two, the male and his female." (Gen.7:2)

The word "sevens" is plural; seven male and seven female. Just one set of such would be more than your "six animals" concept. (See also the message I posted yesterday on "Filling the No Show section.") Be not ignorant of this mystery; "that blindness in part is happened to Israel, UNTIL the fullness of the Gentiles be come in." Remember that Jesus is the LORD and come in now, before the door is shut.
