My own concept of God is that he does not have any religion..... God didn't create religions but people because they have different points of view.

You can be philosophically or scientifically committed to the idea of the Godhead without being religiously committed.

Ohh, now I understand what you're saying. Yes, everything outside the ark perished. Are we then to say God created fishes and other water creatures again after the flood? Which the bible never recorded. What am saying is that, the content of "all" does not necessarily include fishes because fishes are created to survive in water. I can show you many places in scriptures where "all" is used but when you refer back to the original of such story, the content of "all" will be clear. See, the problem with people reading the bible to just have something to criticize is reading outside context and forgetting to check all available parameters surrounding the text.

Take for instance,

To whom also Abraham gave a tenth part of all; first being by interpretation King of righteousness, and after that also King of Salem, which is, King of peace. Heb. 7:2 kjv

What is the content of this "all"? You have to travel back to Gen. 14.

Please provide the bible verse you are referring to

Gen 7

21 And all flesh died that moved upon the earth, both of fowl, and of cattle, and of beast, and of every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth, and every man:

22 All in whose nostrils was the breath of life, of all that was in the dry land, died.

23 And every living substance was destroyed which was upon the face of the ground, both man, and cattle, and the creeping things, and the fowl of the heaven; and they were destroyed from the earth: and Noah only remained alive, and they that were with him in the ark.

Thanks. I think it is clear to everyone now that those verses specify all terrestrial animals and says nothing about the fate of fish and other aquatic animals.

And it makes perfect sense to you that a worldwide flood which lasted for 40 days or so, that destroys everything on earth, would not also kill all marine life?
The marine life was spared of god's wrath?

Abeg no argue for arguing sake, lolz. cheesy

The purpose of God asking Noah to take the existing species of animals then was to "preserve seed" on the earth. Specifically living things that are ON THE EARTH. The sea was formed in Genesis 1 and filled with fishes and that is their habitation in the day God created them. If the rest of other "creeping" things perished in the flood, which is water.....will it make sense for fishes not to survive in water?

then where the water creatures during the flood? did they survive?

Noah had a fishing troller and a fishing net that he used to catch all the fishes into the ark in two's

He then build a swimming pool in the ark to keep them alife.

Since they were in two's and cant feed on each other he then build a fish feed farm

Go online or get a study bible. Most study bible has the equivalents in modern day. Besides, if you want me to give you the equivalent, I will request "tithe and offering" specifically from you so as to make the job faster. grin grin grin

the Egyptian Cubit is about 52.3 cm

I believe the biblical cubit is about the lenght of an average fore arm from the shoulder to the middle finger.

So turbulence in the water for 40 straight days, enough to flood and destroy everything on all land surface on the earth, would not destabilize and destroy the marine ecosystem?
Is that what you are trying to say?
