Then there's the question of drinking water.
Well, the oceans themselves were fresh water, and this is why oceans today are still getting
saltier and have not yet reached equilibrium, which would be obvious if the earth was billions
of years old that it would have reached by now.
So even after the 40 days and nights of rain, which if they had collected none of it during
that time, they would have still had ample drinking water from the ocean itself for the
rest of their journey.
But what about inbreeding, you might ask?
Inbreeding is a problem, right?
You can't just inbreed and repopulate the world?
Well, inbreeding is not a problem at all, as long as species have the ability to grow
in population size and spread out.
You know, the exact same thing that God commanded mankind to do?
Yep, that one.
We have evidence of this in the animal kingdom, from around the world, and even from the very
oceans.
When we look at whales, during a time when whaling was large and reduced the population
down to just a few dozen, all the way to sheep and deer and birds, inbreeding was never a
problem.
Let's first look at sheep.
We see in 1957, a single pair of mouflon sheep were left on one of the Kooligan Islands near
the Antarctic Circle, and in 1977, when they returned, the number had grown to 700 sheep.
That's just 20 years, stuck on a small island.
And remember, male sheep are nomadic travelers by nature, so the conditions were not even
favorable to them.
And given the population size began with just two individuals, we know exactly when and
how it happened.
Evolution expected one thing based on evolution theory, and we expected another based on the
biblical theory.
Guess which one ended up being correct yet again?
You guessed it, our model.
But that's not all.
Only five white-tailed deer were introduced in Finland in 1934 from North America, four
females and only one male.
Their numbers rapidly increased, and the species is now one of the main wildlife species hunted
in Finland.
The population is completely isolated from North America, so testing their diversity
on the new island was very easy, and in 2012, they were found to have populated so much
that they are now the leading species in Finland, all from a single male and a few females.
And then the next typical question comes along.
But what about all the races of people alive today?
How could we be related to NOAA?
Well, that's easy.
Race is a label, not a scientific term.
We know that all people are related to NOAA, not based on race, not based on population
growth or skin color, but because we all share the same Y chromosome as NOAA.
And when we look inside the Y chromosome, we see mutations that add up each and every
generation.
And if we rewind this clock back, we land right on NOAA, who lived somewhere around
4,500 years or so ago, just like the Bible describes if you follow the genealogies back.
What are the odds of that?
