"Hey I didn't look it up but Noah's Ark did NOT hold the sea animals. that's why all the dinosaur sized fish and squids and octopus the Japanese are forever finding are -- fascinating."

What about the actual dinosaurs? Were they on the ark? :)

BTW, if the world was covered in water, the salt in the oceans (most of the water) would have killed most freshwater animals and plants. The change in salinity plus the change in PH would have been devastating. Anybody who has ever kept tropical fish would know this intuitively.

I don't know but I do know from the shots and dimensions they got off the petrified pieces of the Ark up there in the snow on Mt Ararat that it was big nuff for several dinosaurs. Google is your friend if you really want to know; also I believe the dimensions Noah used were... generous.

Makes sense to me.

It's impolite to talk about someone and not ping them.

The change in salinity (from mixing all the fresh and all the salt water in the world) would have probably been fatal to many saltwater species as well. We have purely freshwater species. We have purely brackish water species. We have purely oceanic species. There is no universally acceptable salinity level that would keep all the fish we have today alive. Not even close.
