Noah's Ark - Disembarkation?

The door opened to a desolate land with no live large creatures (fish and insects would have survived). On what would the lions, tigers, cheetahs, wild dogs and other carnivores feasted to remain alive. I can only think they would have had to eat the other animals from on board. This surely would have caused some of the species to become extinct very quickly. I would welcome creationists views or comments.

Noah's Ark - Disembarkation?
Noah’s deluge. To understand you have to start with Gen.6:1.


Gen.6:1 And it came to pass, when men began to multiply on the face of the earth, and daughters were born unto them,


The word “men” is Heb. (ha-adham) means “the man Adam” or his progeny. The word “them” is referring to Adam and Eve. The scripture is talking about Adam and Eve’s clan and not mankind. Mankind a subject for another time.


Gen.6:2 That the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they were fair; and they took them wives of all which they chose.


The term “sons of God” means angels or fallen angels. The word “men” again means Adam and Eve’s progeny or clan. Satan was trying to corrupt God’s plan. That is, from umbilical cord to umbilical cord would come Christ. This is why Eve is called “the mother of all living”.


Gen.6:9 These are the generations of Noah: Noah was a just man and perfect in his generations, and Noah walked with God.


The word “perfect” Heb. (tamin) means “without blemish as to breed or pedigree”.


Gen.6:17 And, behold, I, even I, do bring a flood of waters upon the earth, to destroy all flesh, wherein is the breath of life, from under heaven; and every thing that is in the earth shall die.


The word “earth” Heb. (erets) means “land”, not the whole earth. Besides God says, “to destroy all flesh” in Adam’s clan.


Gen.7:24 And the waters prevailed upon the earth an hundred and fifty days.


Gen.8:11 And the dove came in to him in the evening; and, lo, in her mouth was an olive leaf pluckt off: so Noah knew that the waters were abated from off the earth.


If the entire globe had been under water 150 days, where did this olive leaf (pluckt off) come from.


Gen 9:11 And I will establish my covenant with you; neither shall all flesh be cut off any more by the waters of a flood; neither shall there any more be a flood to destroy the earth.


Remember what God said in Gen.6:17, “to destroy all flesh”. Here God makes a covenant with Noah and his sons. Neither shall all flesh be cut off any more. Neither shall there any more be a flood to destroy the earth. Two floods. One for flesh, Noah’s deluge. One to destroy the earth back in Gen.1:2. The global flood is a subject for another time.


Some consider the plateau of Pamir to be the original Eden. This probably was the homeland of Adam's descendants up until the time of the Flood. Today it’s known as the Tarim Basin or Eastern Turkestan. This region is surrounded by a ridge of very high mountains forming a gigantic basin in the midst of them. It measures 1,000 miles long and is about 350 miles wide.


Ussher’s Chronology says 2348 B.C., Davidson says November 2345 B.C. to November 2344 B.C. for Noah’s deluge.


Records of the Sumerians in Mesopotamia., their King Lists date to about 3350 B.C., and show an ongoing civilization well through the period of the flood. Egypt felt nothing of the deluge, they had an uninterrupted succession of Dynasties. China's civilization during the Yao Dynasty (between 2400 B.C. – 2200 B.C.) with no record of a cataclysmic interruption.


So Noah’s deluge was a local flood. But there was a global flood in Gen.1:2. Study II Pet.3:5-7, Jer.4:23-27.


Psa.104:6 Thou coveredst it with the deep as with a garment: the waters stood above the mountains. Psa.104:7 At thy rebuke they fled; at the voice of thy thunder they hasted away.


Gen 1:6 And God said, Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters.
Reply:The Hebrew translation for world is land, it does not mean that the entire world was flooded.





Secondly, Moses did not take every single animal on the planet onto his ark, read it again, he was ordered to take only certain animals.
Reply:It is logical to assume that since God caused the animals to peacefully assemble at the ark at the time just before the flood, that he would also provide food for them to find when they left the ark. it is illogical that they would be saved and then allowed to consume each other.
Reply:There would be a TON of corpses lying around waiting to be feasted on. No problem at all.
Reply:It all makes sense when you realize it's just MYTHOLOGY.
