This would leave us with only a tiny amount of seaweed <i>nowhere near enough</i> to support the thousands of herbivores on the Ark. Furthermore, no large crops of seaweed (i.e. kelp forests, etc.) would have grown in just over a year. Finally, all the seaweed would have rapidly rotted away when exposed to the air, long before more plants had an opportunity to grow, assuming Noah had the forethought to collect and store seeds from the Earth's vast variety of plant life, and ignoring the fact that saltwater-saturated soil is very bad for growing most land plants. </p> <h3><span class="mw-headline" id="Carnivores">Carnivores</span><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Life_and_the_global_flood&action=edit&section=15" title="Edit section: Carnivores">edit</a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></h3> <p>The carnivores would have been in an even worse position.

Many woodpeckers, for example, require large standing groves of very old yet living trees to provide a food source for the insects on which they feed. Without old-growth forests, they have no place to live. There would have been no old-growth forests after the flood. Were the woodpeckers supposed to wait decades or centuries for the forests to regrow and then grow old before they could start eating? </p><p>Problems of this sort abound. <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indian_pipe" class="extiw" title="wp:Indian pipe" rel="nofollow"><span style="color:#477979 !important;" title="Wikipedia: Indian pipe">Indian pipe</span></a><sup><img alt="" src="https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/5/5a/Wikipedia%27s_W.svg/12px-Wikipedia%27s_W.svg.png" decoding="async" width="12" height="12" srcset="https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/5/5a/Wikipedia%27s_W.svg/18px-Wikipedia%27s_W.svg.png 1.5x, https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/5/5a/Wikipedia%27s_W.svg/24px-Wikipedia%27s_W.svg.png 2x" data-file-width="128" data-file-height="128" /></sup> (<i>Monotropa uniflora</i>) is a plant that lives in a symbiotic relationship with a species of soil fungus. The soil fungus, in turn, lives off of certain species of trees. Indian pipe seeds will only grow in soil permeated with the fungus and the fungus only grows with the trees it feeds off of. Again, the Indian pipe seeds will need to wait decades or longer to find soil in which they can grow. This is far longer than their seeds can survive. (Of course, they wouldn't have survived the flood to begin with, but that's another article.) </p> <h2><span class="mw-headline" id="The_answer_to_all_these_points">The answer to all these points</span><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Life_and_the_global_flood&action=edit&section=24" title="Edit section: The answer to all these points">edit</a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></h2> <p><a href="/wiki/Goddidit" class="mw-redirect" title="Goddidit">Goddidit</a>!
