oh.

It was actually the part about fish being able to survive in so much water that I couldn't understand. Like how? Wouldn't they drown like everything else? That is the part I had difficulty with. I had some fish in an aquarium and when I finally got around to putting water in there, I noticed they were dead, I still cannot figure it out.

Just kidding bex.

One time though really, when hurricane Andrew went through Florida. I was living on the Florida west coast and was renting this garage where I would airbrush stuff for some company. I was in there when the storm blew over. The place had aluminun walls. The storm was ferocious. The water came right up to the pavement on my lower level, there was a loft where I stayed listening to the awesomeness of the storm. When all was said and done, there was quite a bit of flooding around outside. And there were fish everywhere, in the parking lot, swimming in the ditches, everywhere, all alive. Not really relevant but I thought tha was really neat. Some of those storms will even pick up fish, frogs, whatever, and distribute them 25 miles away, even further. they get tales of frogs dropping out of the sky in various places during storms.

My personal op on dinos surviving the flood... i think the flood actually killed most of them. I don't think they were on the ark by any great measure. But, the flying ones did survive. Chances are excellent, in the event of a global castrophe of that nature, there was one or two last high mountains sticking up still at some point, and it was probably covered with flying creatures that needed relief from flying. So was the ark i magine, it's roof.

Could explain Linda's bottle neck idea. the few that made it met on the last mountain top and ... well, the birds and the bees thing.. you know....

did you know that ants can actually survive underwater for quite some length of time? Don't ever bother trying to drown out an ant infestation, it won't work.

roots in the ground and floating debris would have survived a flood btw. That's even a great way to start a clone from a plant you really like and want more of. Just cut off some branches and stick them in water and they'll set roots. I have a whole bunch right here.

It's the most amzing thing... if the garden floods, which it does from time to time, all these unspent seeds from prior years start coming up afterward. They love the soaking. I have gotten plenty of volunteer lettuce in my time that way. Tomatoes too.

Maybe linda's plants died because they needed love.

More than anything Bex, I think Linda really doesn't comprehend how awesome God is and all the unimaginable things he does. things waaaay beyond our imaginations. she thinks that's a joke.

But it's not.

Christians who believe in Jesus and also evolution. I actualy do not know any but it's hard to imagine they don''t exist. Must be a difficult walk, not seeing him as your creator/maker though. For me, in my relationship with him, that's essential. He made me, he can heal me etc. But you know, simply believing in Jesus to a small extent won't save anyone either. Even the devil believes in God, and shudders.
