Now add to plant everything. Imagine replanting all the plants, trees, fruit, grasses and cactus. You haven't planted a single tree in your life have you? It would take them at least 3 years to replant every tree never mind all the other duties of rebuilding and taking care of lifestock. Then it would take years before things regrow again the animals are just going to eat what in the meantime?
And this is with modern equipment a tractor and seed spreader. Imagine doing this with primitive tools. In your mind everything just goes poof easy peasy this isn't a big deal. But when you actually start to do it yourself then it dawns that this Flood story just makes less and less sense.
I mean just go to a zoo and ask how many animals they have and how many staff they have to keep the place running how much food do they consume etc. Most zoos don't have the entire species/kinds they only have a portion. So imagine having several zoos on a boat then you can appreciate the scale of that kind of operation.
Here is what I know, God took care of Noah, his family and all that were in the ark. What do we know about God? This passage explains it nicely. I ask again, why can't God prepare the Earth for when Noah and all the animals leave the ark?
Matthew 6: 25-34 - “Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothes? Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they? Can any one of you by worrying add a single hour to your life?
“And why do you worry about clothes? See how the flowers of the field grow. They do not labor or spin. Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these. If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, will he not much more clothe you—you of little faith? So do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them. But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.
