EIGHT
8:20 And Noah builded an altar unto the LORD; and took of every clean beast, and of every clean fowl, and offered burnt offerings on the altar.
8:21 And the LORD smelled a sweet savour; and the LORD said in his heart, I will not again curse the ground any more for man's sake; for the imagination of man's heart is evil from his youth ; neither will I again smite any more every thing living, as I have done.
This eliminated all the "clean" beasts and fowls--destroying the only remaining food supply. Of course, there was nothing for the other animals to eat: nothing for the carnivores, nothing for the herbivores, nothing for Noah and his family to eat. This, at least, is what the damn atheists try to pretend. But what is the TRUTH of the matter?
The TRUTH is that many of the fish survived the deluge. After the flood, God simply separated the salt water from the fresh water once again and then sent the appropriate type of fish into each type of water. Most of these fish were in suspended animation during the flood so the mixing of salt with fresh was not fatal to them.
The 40 days of rain covered the highest mountain with about 20 feet extra (15 cubits). Really TALL animals (such as giraffes) could have stood on these high peaks and ate fish during the 40 days and nights. And giraffes ARE excellent mountain climbers. Their favourite food WAS the douglas pine for which they used to travel into the mountains of Nevada and California expressly to get to theses succulent pine needles. Plus--TREES FLOAT. Did the atheist ever think of THAT??
After the flood, Noah could afford to sacrifice all the remaining "clean animals (two of each kind) to God for the sweet savour that God required. The reason God commanded TWO of each animal from the beginning was NOT for procreation (as so many atheists wrongly suppose--being ignorant of the meaning of biblical instruction)--it was to demonstrate to Noah that sexual discrimination was immoral and that ALL genders ought to be sacrificed equally.
It is a fact that ALL the surviving beasts, fowls, and insects DID INDEED eat giraffe meat until the water got down to the plains area and Noah used his wine kit from the ark to start a vineyard. It is a FACT that the descendants of Noah show genes from the giraffe. Where did these genes come from if Noah and his family were not eating the giraffes? Ask an atheist! They know it all!
Another thing an atheist will question is the cleanliness of the ark and the wonderful and obedient creatures that sought the golden fleece. Like--DUH--Noah could not take them swimming on a strong rope and let the water naturally agitate them? Those animals that could not swim could be dragged through the water. The ark was on a continuous tidal tsunami which heaved waves miles into the heavens. And why couldn't he draw in pails of water to sluice down the ark itself? You see-- there is NOTHING in the wonderful history of the flood that cannot be answered by a diligent and thoughtful regard for the context of the words of Moses.
Bless Jesus! The atheist is refuted once again!
