God is on the outside of his creation, he can manipulate anything (even the laws of physics) however he wants. he is not finite.
Before the flood everything was a vegetarian. <--
Don't you know the story? How did Noah know it was safe to exit the ark ? greenery grew back

If the world was covered in water (which would have been predominantly salt water, unless God somehow removed all the oceans and replaced them with fresh water), there would be no greenery. Being covered in salt water makes land non-fertile, y'see.
You do realise that had the world been flooded by rising seas, all land would have been salt saturated, therefore incapable of growing anything?
And tigers/lions/domestic cats with those fangs and instinct to pounce, rend and eat moving critters stems from.... what?
I'm still waiting for a single biblical citation in support of this vegetarian fairy story. It's bad enough thay these ill-educated idiots take allegorical writings as fact, without them just making shit up. There is nothing in the Bible to support assertions of vegetarianism by anyone, yet Hovind et al still keep trotting this saw out and getting quoted by these morons.
So plants were vegetarians. Instead of, you know, photosynthesis, they ate each other. Might want to rethink that one...

- you have yet to establish that a god exists other than in your imagination. Citation of concrete evidence, please.
Citation of flood and vegetarianism. (Oh the cruelty to those sentient plants!)
- wonderful Babylonian and Akkadian myth. Only he's called Gilgamesh there. And it pre-dates the Biblical myth by a could of millenia.
@toothache:
I love the line "everything was a vegetarian", I seriously doubt that.
If god was outside his creation, he could not manipulate anything
and if he's inside, why cant we detect him?
And if he can manipulate the laws of physics, why is this change never noticed (which I think would be quite important, since he's all about showing himself to us)
Fundies are on the outside of reality: they can manipulate anything (even the law of physics) however they wantwhen they are caught out on an improbability, or especially on an impossibility. They do it simply by making it up. And their weak-minded followers accept it all without demur.
I know all about Noah. The flood covered the whole earth? Where did the water come from? Make it up.
Where did the water drain away to? Invent a story (do it quickly, because I haven't heard the fundy version of that yet).
Find the plughole, and we'll have solved at least one of the mysteries.

@#528508:
According to "Dr." Kent Hovind, not lettuce, but pumpkins .
If he can break the laws of physics, it's absurd that he created them, to begin with, don't you think?
I think it was an olive branch, mote anyway as he knew it was "safe to exit the ark" when it became grounded as the flood waters receeded.
Read the book, already. What was the signifigance of the symbolism antway? God spoke directly to Noah before and up to boarding the Ark then he goes all mysterious again. Why? God only talks to people when there's other people to hassle them about it?
How did Noah know it was safe to exit the ark ? greenery grew back
Mt. Ararat is upwards of 17,000 ft. high. Back in Noah's day - grass grew there. And when you cut it, it smelled better than it does today.
Where did this "olive branch" come from, that was found by a dove, someplace other than where the ark was? Noah couldn't steer the thing. If Mt. Ararat was the first thing to poke up out of the water, and Noah just happened to be there when it did...
Aw, fuck it. I like the Little Rascal's version bettr; when Styime asks Farina, "If Noah had a brother would his name be Yeah?"
The greenery didn’t grow back, the greenery didn’t die.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
