11. By comparing the ages of Noah referred to in Genesis 5:32 and Genesis 7:11 it would have taken him something like 100 years Return
12. God enabled them to migrate as many birds and animals do today, and "home in" on the Ark. (This instinct to migrate might be latent, still, in all animals).Return
13. Essentially to adapt, migrate or die out! Return
14. They needn't have done - they could have lived on the same continent before the flood. Australia isn't the only place where they exist. Return
15. Plate tectonics indicate continental movements could have been responsible for this. Alternatively since during the most intense "ice age" phases the ocean levels were much lower than today they might have walked there! Return
16. Yes: The "behemoth" of Job 40:15-19 is thought to be a brontosaurus. Articles in the National Geographic Magazine (May 1954) and the press (Sunday Telegraph features 16.2.97) refer to fossils of dinosaur and human footprints side by side! Return
17. God enabled them to hibernate and aestivate as necessary. These abilities are thought to be latent in most vertebrates living at present. Return
18. They did eat - they were herbivores - and drink. There was room to store vegetation and water on board. Hibernating and aestivating animals clearly need less food and drink than active ones. Return
19. Probably yes - but remember how God gave manna (Exodus 16:14) a kind of bread to the Israelites as they were fleeing from Egypt? Perhaps Gods "remembering" of Noah and the animals (Genesis 8:1) includes such a provision? Return
20. The whole event was supernaturally controlled by God e.g.. in bringing them to the Ark in the first place. In this way God controlled their natural instincts which could prevent this. Return
