A quick calculation would indicate that 2,628 tones of krill would have been required to feed the 2 blue whales.

i think you're misunderstanding the noah story though, to be fair. or else you're mixing it up with star trek 4.

Wouldn't the sea mammals have been fine, since they don't breathe the water?

Other than dying of starvation because all their food would have been killed by the desalination, of course.

Yeah you are probably right. Just little me misunderstanding a perfectly logical story.

I love the Noah story. It is a shining example of how willfully stupid people can be

Repetitious telling of this story appears to be the extent of RE in my eight-year-old's class in CoI school, in RC it would be sin and confession and all that crap :pac:

Not one of them buys this story, either

Nah, can't be TVH, those were humpbacks.

Actually it raises a good point. The Whales need not be in the ark so long they followed the ark for the whole year eating the tonnes and tonnes of food required daily that Noah and his 8 strong brood were shoveling over the side.
I think it would be difficult for Noah and his crew to do this though considering the critical ailments they would all have due to 2 of every human parasite being required on the ark.

Well if they were allowed carry meat food for animals, did they have human sacrifices for parasites??

Also sea mammals don't do well in long term fresh water. Their immune system uses the salt water to promote healing

Not too often an app gets recommended in a discussion forum like this but could the new https://play.google.com/store/search?q=atheos&hl=en app from https://richarddawkins.net and http://peterboghossian.com become the "Atheist Bible" or (desperately trying to keep this post on topic) a source of comedic retorts when having a discussion with a religious person?

Dunno, I think the thing about the reflected itch is quite interesting. If you had a cast on your arm, say, it could be useful.
