Genesis 1:21
So God created the great creatures of the sea and every living and moving thing with which the water teems, according to their kinds and every winged bird according to its kind. And God saw that it was good.
Genesis 7:21-23
Every living thing that moved on the earth perishes - birds, livestock, wild animals, all the creatures that swarm over the earth, and all mankind. Every living thing on the face of the earth was wiped out; men adn animals and the creatures that move along th eround and the birds of the air were wiped form the earth. Only Noah was left, and those with him in the ark.
Did God perish the sea creatures as well when He flooded the earth?
It doesn't say anything about sea creatures dying, which makes sense.
But then, it also implies that only the animals in the ark were kept alive during the flood.
Do we just assume that sea creatures still live in flood?
I've never thought of this before until today.
HELP?
Hmm... that's something I never thought about before. >< I googled some stuff up and there was mention of water being salty/not salty that may have wiped out some species of fish/sea creatures from the earth. Or maybe the flood was really violent and perished some species? We can only speculate... O.O

hello anonymous :]
ReplyDeleteactually after i posted this,
i talked to my mom and we talked about how fish are very sensitive to pH levels and other factors of their surrounding. The condition of water is very important for their survival. Also I'm not sure if there were any tornados or strong currents, but fish can't survive those either.
So I suppose the flood may have killed the water creatures that way...
and this led me to another question: then how did sea creatures increased in number after the flood?
hahahahhaha
ReplyDeletei totally thought about this before as well. no clue what the answer is however.
-sue
haha really? honestly it never crossed my mind until this time.
ReplyDeletehmph yeah, I don't know what the answer is either.
I suppose I will have to let this one go for awhile. :P
