Because when the flood came about
fresh water would have mixed with
salt water. Not all fresh water fish
can survive in salt water and not all
salt water fish can survive in fresh
water.
And if he did put two of each type of
fish on this ark, just how big was
this thing

Well, the Bible says that everything
that wasn't on the Ark died. It
doesn't specify & say anything about
the fish. People pick & choose, and
they say "they could survive, because
it was water" -- but the Bible states
that anything left out of the Ark was
killed. So, he had to have every single
marine life on the Ark as well. And
think about how big it had to be. It
had every single type of species on
that Ark, it had to be the size of a
couple countries at least. Do you
really think the lions didn't eat the
other animals? Do you think that
Noah could keep up with cleaning
the animals, giving them food, and
water? I think not.

leave Noah alone

Genesis 5:32-10:1
New International Version (NIV)
32 After Noah was 500 years old, he
became the father of Shem, Ham and
Japheth.
Wickedness in the World
When human beings began to increase in
number on the earth and daughters were
born to them, 2 the sons of God saw that
the daughters of humans were beautiful,
and they married any of them they chose.
3 Then the LORD said, “My Spirit will not
contend with[a] humans forever, for they
are mortal[b]; their days will be a hundred
and twenty years.”
4 The Nephilim were on the earth in those
days—and also afterward—when the sons
of God went to the daughters of humans
and had children by them. They were the
heroes of old, men of renown.
5 The LORD saw how great the wickedness
of the human race had become on the
earth, and that every inclination of the
thoughts of the human heart was only evil
all the time. 6 The LORD regretted that he
had made human beings on the earth, and
his heart was deeply troubled. 7 So the
LORD said, “I will wipe from the face of the
earth the human race I have created—and
with them the animals, the birds and the
creatures that move along the ground—for
I regret that I have made them.” 8 But Noah
found favor in the eyes of the LORD.
Noah and the Flood
9 This is the account of Noah and his family.
Noah was a righteous man, blameless
among the people of his time, and he
walked faithfully with God. 10 Noah had
three sons: Shem, Ham and Japheth.
11 Now the earth was corrupt in God’s
sight and was full of violence. 12 God saw
how corrupt the earth had become, for all
the people on earth had corrupted their
ways. 13 So God said to Noah, “I am going
to put an end to all people, for the earth is
filled with violence because of them. I am
surely going to destroy both them and the
earth. 14 So make yourself an ark of cypress
[c] wood; make rooms in it and coat it with
pitch inside and out. 15 This is how you are
to build it: The ark is to be three hundred
cubits long, fifty cubits wide and thirty
cubits high. [d] 16 Make a roof for it, leaving
below the roof an opening one cubit[e]
high all around.[f] Put a door in the side of
the ark and make lower, middle and upper
decks. 17 I am going to bring floodwaters
on the earth to destroy all life under the
heavens, every creature that has the breath
of life in it. Everything on earth will perish.
18 But I will establish my covenant with
you, and you will enter the ark—you and
your sons and your wife and your sons’
wives with you. 19 You are to bring into the
ark two of all living creatures, male and
female, to keep them alive with you. 20 Two
of every kind of bird, of every kind of animal
and of every kind of creature that moves
along the ground will come to you to be
kept alive. 21 You are to take every kind of
food that is to be eaten and store it away as
food for you and for them.”
22 Noah did everything just as God
commanded him.
The LORD then said to Noah, “Go into the
ark, you and your whole family, because I
have found you righteous in this
generation. 2 Take with you seven pairs of
every kind of clean animal, a male and its
mate, and one pair of every kind of unclean
animal, a male and its mate, 3 and also
seven pairs of every kind of bird, male and
female, to keep their various kinds alive
throughout the earth. 4 Seven days from
now I will send rain on the earth for forty
days and forty nights, and I will wipe from
the face of the earth every living creature I
have made.”
5 And Noah did all that the LORD
commanded him.
6 Noah was six hundred years old when
the floodwaters came on the earth. 7 And
Noah and his sons and his wife and his
sons’ wives entered the ark to escape the
waters of the flood. 8 Pairs of clean and
unclean animals, of birds and of all
creatures that move along the ground,
9 male and female, came to Noah and
entered the ark, as God had commanded
Noah. 10 And after the seven days the
floodwaters came on the earth.
11 In the six hundredth year of Noah’s life,
on the seventeenth day of the second
month—on that day all the springs of the
great deep burst forth, and the floodgates
of the heavens were opened. 12 And rain
fell on the earth forty days and forty nights.
13 On that very day Noah and his sons,
Shem, Ham and Japheth, together with his
wife and the wives of his three sons,
entered the ark. 14 They had with them
every wild animal according to its kind, all
livestock according to their kinds, every
creature that moves along the ground
according to its kind and every bird
according to its kind, everything with
wings. 15 Pairs of all creatures that have
the breath of life in them came to Noah and
entered the ark. 16 The animals going in
were male and female of every living thing,
as God had commanded Noah. Then the
LORD shut him in.
17 For forty days the flood kept coming on
the earth, and as the waters increased they
lifted the ark high above the earth. 18 The
waters rose and increased greatly on the
earth, and the ark floated on the surface of
the water. 19 They rose greatly on the
earth, and all the high mountains under the
entire heavens were covered. 20 The
waters rose and covered the mountains to
a depth of more than fifteen cubits. [g][h]
21 Every living thing that moved on land
perished—birds, livestock, wild animals, all
the creatures that swarm over the earth,
and all mankind. 22 Everything on dry land
that had the breath of life in its nostrils
died. 23 Every living thing on the face of the
earth was wiped out; people and animals
and the creatures that move along the
ground and the birds were wiped from the
earth. Only Noah was left, and those with
him in the ark.
24 The waters flooded the earth for a
hundred and fifty days.
But God remembered Noah and all the
wild animals and the livestock that were
with him in the ark, and he sent a wind
over the earth, and the waters receded.
2 Now the springs of the deep and the
floodgates of the heavens had been closed,
and the rain had stopped falling from the
sky. 3 The water receded steadily from the
earth. At the end of the hundred and fifty
days the water had gone down, 4 and on
the seventeenth day of the seventh month
the ark came to rest on the mountains of
Ararat. 5 The waters continued to recede
until the tenth month, and on the first day
of the tenth month the tops of the
mountains became visible.
6 After forty days Noah opened a window
he had made in the ark 7 and sent out a
raven, and it kept flying back and forth until
the water had dried up from the earth.
8 Then he sent out a dove to see if the
water had receded from the surface of the
ground. 9 But the dove could find nowhere
to perch because there was water over all
the surface of the earth; so it returned to
Noah in the ark. He reached out his hand
and took the dove and brought it back to
himself in the ark. 10 He waited seven more
days and again sent out the dove from the
ark. 11 When the dove returned to him in
the evening, there in its beak was a freshly
plucked olive leaf! Then Noah knew that the
water had receded from the earth. 12 He
waited seven more days and sent the dove
out again, but this time it did not return to
him.
13 By the first day of the first month of
Noah’s six hundred and first year, the water
had dried up from the earth. Noah then
removed the covering from the ark and saw
that the surface of the ground was dry.
14 By the twenty-seventh day of the second
month the earth was completely dry.
15 Then God said to Noah, 16 “Come out of
the ark, you and your wife and your sons
and their wives. 17 Bring out every kind of
living creature that is with you—the birds,
the animals, and all the creatures that move
along the ground—so they can multiply on
the earth and be fruitful and increase in
number on it.”
18 So Noah came out, together with his
sons and his wife and his sons’ wives. 19 All
the animals and all the creatures that move
along the ground and all the birds—
everything that moves on land—came out
of the ark, one kind after another.
20 Then Noah built an altar to the LORD
and, taking some of all the clean animals
and clean birds, he sacrificed burnt
offerings on it. 21 The LORD smelled the
pleasing aroma and said in his heart:
“Never again will I curse the ground
because of humans, even though [i] every
inclination of the human heart is evil from
childhood. And never again will I destroy all
living creatures, as I have done.

good question. chrsitians have no answer.

Where are the christian brothers?

Actually, fish is the least of your problem with Noah. The hardcore guys can argue that salt and fresh water did not mix just like an Estuary

The problem is in the detail. Think of it;

A senior citizen builds a boat (135m X 22.5m X 13.5m) and chucks two of every animal on earth (well, goes up to seven clean animals depending on the verse you're reading). He got polar bears and Wombats, some how worked out a clever refrigeration unit for penguins and the lot?

Now use common sense. what is more likely? Laws of nature get suspended or This shitty story was made up?. If this one is made up, which other one is made up in the bible. LOL

forget that. wouldnt the wooden boat just sink with the weight i mean, this is before the invention of the plimsoll line. .

@op and all. With God all things are possible. U can't perceive God's way with ur 5 senses, so discard the 5 senses bkus its nonsense if u want to understand God and His doing/works.

onyfrank: @op and all. With God all things are possible. U can't perceive God's way with ur 5 senses, so discard the 5 senses bkus its nonsense if u want to understand God and His doing/works.

In short, God is useless to human logic, perception and knowlegde. We only have 5 senses. Anything outside that is useless

PAGAN 9JA:
good question. chrsitians have no answer.

God did not say that the fishes would die.God said every living creature that moves on the ground.That was the reason He did not order Noah to take with him any species of the aquatic creatures. If God chooses to preserve a fish outside the water,who can question him.Talkless of inside a salty water.
He is their creator,He can decide to preserve the fishes even in a hot lava. Was it not the lions that refused to eat Daniel that eat his enemies? The fire that refused to burn the 3 hebrews latter decided to roast to ashes those that conspired against them. The fishes you feel could not survive inside a salty or saltless water may be the water they would enjoy more during that period,because God gave His decree that the water should cooperate with all those types of fishes.He can decide to create new fishes afresh,as well.

How are u sure that God did not create new species of animals different from those Noah took into the Ark ,like Polar bear. There are more than 7,000 species of ants alone.
Are we not having new models of cars and other human inventions that were not existing 500 yrs ago?

Even if all the fishes died.Can't God recrete new species different from those in the time of Noah?

Moreover,from what you read in the bible the water that flooded the earth was from rain fall.Meaning larger quantity of the water was from the rain,because it covered the earth and the mountains to d extent that nothing from the ground could be seen,even trees.The saltness of the water would be reduced compare with the normal sea water.

The reason God asked Noah to make an Ark and keep the land animals there was because they can't survive in the water.But as for the fishes and other acquatic creatures,it is still the same water, their domain.They will survive.Would God ask Noah to build an aquarium in the ark that could contain all the sea creatures? Since God is going to use water to destroy the wicked human beings,why would'nt He preserve the animals in the water.Is there any need to destroy them?.

May be another reason why God instructed him to take some animals into the Ark was for us to know that there is need to preserve the wild -life ,for proper functioning of the ecosystem. And God cannot be happy that the works of His hands are destroyed,even though He can create them afresh including the fishes and other animals in the water.

The survival of a fish in salty or unsalted water is nothing if God could divide the sea for almost 8 hrs for the Israelites to escape on a dry land.

If you are the type that opens his or her mouth wide without caution to say things that you cant say to your parents to God,You had better come back to your senses,and beg God for forgiveness b4 it is too late.

in which compactment were the elephants, one male one female in the boat?
wouuldnt that boat sink b4 take off?

no na, anything u can't perceive with ur 5 senses an't usless, bt REALITY.
Hav u thought abt who taught ur teacher. Ok, u knw,bt who taught ur teacher's teacher, ur teacher's teacher's teacher. Kip moving back, back, back, on and on until one teacher remains. Then, who taught dat teacher?
