Actually, both types of fish species needed to be stored

Aside from the obvious many inconsistencies, I like to mention the main flaw in Noah’s ark being saltwater and freshwater fish. The flood was either fresh or salt, so one of those two types of fish would need to have been stored on the ark to survive. No mention of that, of course.

Big regions of saltwater and freshwater could stay separate, ane on many places on earth they do. No need to go that far to debunk that fable.

The bible describes a global flood that covers the highest mountains, so that would not be possible. All freshwater would be subsumed by salt water.

Okay, ill play along :) All of the new water would be fresh water, so that would make around the same ammount of fresh water and salt water. They still wouldnt mix because of a differences in density.

Could be regional flooding. He probably didn’t hit the Chinese at the same time. Not like Noah was well versed in global maps. Dude only saw where he was was flooded.
Or God put all the freshies in stasis cause God can make a flood and does w/e whenever.

Could also be pirate space monkeys came and saved all the fish and then returned them after. It’s really fun to make up situations where the fish didn’t die in the story. We can even give Noah a staff and special powers as long they justify our view of the world.

Love it. It’s all fan fiction so why not. Whatever is popular is the lore.

That’s the main flaw??
I humbly disagree.
