How did Noah fit all the animals & Insects in the Ark?

Insects hop rides on floating debris. Can't find the exact article, but I'll keep looking.

Don, I am a little "out of the loop" on this one. Why is there a "need" for determining how insects crossed the ocean? Is it anathema to assume that insects were already present?

Thank you Don. So centipedes also can hop a ride? What about flies, and other flying insects?

Actually not according to the Creation answerbook. I read this paragraph in the book.

Quote:
When Krakatoa erupted in 1883, the island remnant remained lifeless for some years, but was eventually recolonized by a surprising variety of creatures, including not only insects and earthworms, but birds, lizards, snakes, and even a few mammals. One would not have expected some of this surprising array of creatures to have crossed the ocean, but they obviously did.

That is without a doubt worse than my joke.

My 8 year old just roled his eyes at me when I said it...you must be right.

I wish all the ticks had drowned in the flood. They're terrible this year!!!! BLECH!

This is a question I have wondered. There are about a million insect species and many different types of animals. Can anyone assist? Thanks..

God brought the animals to Noah that He wanted on the ark. Noah didn't go and get the animals....Gen 7:15 And they went in unto Noah into the ark, two and two of all flesh, wherein is the breath of life.

Insects are not animals. But according to an article I read not all of them needed the ark.

Why didn't God let the flood kill certain insects like fleas, ticks, cock roaches, wasps, hornets, yellow jackets, mosquitoes, chiggers, slugs, japanese beetles, locusts, ect. What good are they??

Then there was the species that was brought onto the ark in the K9 family. It would cry everytime Noah fed it cantelope. It was called a meloncolly.

Spiders are cool as long as they're not crawling on me.

Many modern day Baptists can trace their heritage back to the flood, and should be thankful Noah preserved the ostritch and anteater. That is where they learned to stick their head in the sand and stick their nose into other people's business.

I'd just as soon sleep with a rattlesnake with a sore tooth, than a spider any time. Spiders and I can not, and WILL NOT co-habitate, period!!

And when it ate too much cantelope, it got meloncholic.....

Savages, when they dine on ostritches, they always fight over the neck......

The only kind I can tolerate are the black furry ones. I don't know what they're called, but they eat lot's of insects, especially flies. Around here we have a lot of wolf spiders and they are huuuuuuuuuuuge!!!!! They look like they could star in a horror movie! YUCK!!!!!

We also have a lot of the giant hornets, which get a bad rap because they're so gigantic, but they are very gentle and don't attack and they actually eat wasps. I've seen them catch wasps in flight. Pretty cool. So I don't ever kill them.
