I help when I can, I do afterall know a LOT about photography...., and politics!! LoL
But I was wondering, on that ark you know, not so much about the fish that were left to fend for themselves in the water that eventually recessed and dried up, no doubt because of poor planning, but about the rattlesnakes, the scorpions, the dung beetles, the gila monsters, the wasps, the fleas, the cockroaches, the horseflies, the tarantulas and the black widows, well you get the idea? Please little furtree, could you please educate me in the ways of the Christians?!?!

Probably not as you are a self admitted know-it-all, however, I can share with you what I read about the ark concerning many of the insects and creepy crawlies. Many of insects were left to fend for themselves as they have a natural ability to either burrow into the the earth to protect themselves from floods, winter weather, etc, or climb aboard floating debris and stay above the waters. As far as the lizards, snakes, etc, God chose what animals he wanted to bring and many of his choices were young animals. He also had Noah construct the ark with multiple chambers not only to safely house the animals, but to provide storage for the huge amount of food that he needed to bring to feed the animals (and humans) as well as quarters for Noah and his family. As far as the planning aspect? A lot of planning went into the construction of such a vessel, as well as the, safety and well being of it's passengers. As far as the eventual draining and drying up of the waters, the fish and sea life had ample time to settle into the remaining watery areas. The water did not just magically "Poof, It's gone."
As far as the ways of Christians? Read the bible. Try it with an open mind, you may come away with enlightenment. I was told once, a very long time ago by an evangelist, if I took nothing else away from the bible, that I should always remember John 3:16. I suggest you start there. God bless.
