How did bacteria and plants surivive when the flood came-- the animals were safe on the the ark?

Errr... It's *not* a real story, Lee. And there's lots more holes that *that* - what about insects, for example? And the problem of inbreeding if there was only 2 specimens per species.





There was no ark, no flood and there's never been any other kind of supernatural or mystical elements at all.

apparantly noah brought bacteria onboard

Reply:seeds and roots will go dormant, and often survive wet ground.





bacteria aren't killed by water, they thrive in it.





and, there was no great flood anyway, so it's a pointless discussion.
Reply:Bacterias are microorganisms so they can survive in water easily because many of them live in it, plant one is their seeds.
Reply:Well, bacteria are pretty hardy. And many plants have seeds that can "hibernate" until conditions are right for them to take root. There probably were many species that were lost


though.


BTW, many scientists have found evidence that there was massive flooding around the world. It undoubtedly had nothing to do with god, but not believing in god is not a reason to reject scientific evidence.
Reply:bacteria can survive on water and plants also as algae and with time they can evolve in fact if you read a scientific theory said that in the beginning there was only water in this planet and then some microorganism appeared and some plants and with time this evolved to animals, and all you know
Reply:Bacteria would have survived anywhere. There would have been plants on the ark, of course, because some were needed for food for both humans and animals. Noah probably knew to take some plants on board the ark and believe it, or not some plants may have survived a short period of flood, just like some plants survive short periods of flood today. There are plants whose seed have moved across bodies of water and taken root in a whole different part to the world. There are a lot of logical explanations how plants survived the flood. Of course it's been awhile since I read the story of the flood myself so I can also have missed something, too.
