Author | Topic: What happened to all the dead rotting carcasses? | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
David unfamous Inactive Member |
Something I never thought of really. But where did all the hundreds of millions of dead human and animal remains go after the flood? What about the stench and potential disease from such a slaughter?
After he'd killed all the men, women and children, did he do some kind of clean up operation? Forgive me if this has already been discussed.

Triassic there are 4 genera--no living members Jurassic, 43 genera-no living members , Cretaceous 36 genera-no living members, Paleocene 213 genera-no living members, Eocene 569 genera-3 extant genera, Oligocene 494 genera 11 extant genera, Miocene 749 genera 57 extant genera, Pliocene762 genera 133 extant genera, Pleistocene, 830 genera 417 extant genera Quite remarkable don't you think? Of course they didn't all get buried. You see a bunch of them "washed up" and all the predatory species lived on their rotting carcasses for a few years while prey species built up sufficient numbers to sustain a ecosystem. At least that's what the YECs have told me. I guess it all makes sense to them somehow. Randy

DID NOT!!!! They all got raptured. Kind of a dress rehearsal, I think.

Allowing the IDists to solve the problem by postulating a raelian-type ET intervention: remember that giant spacegoing vacuum cleaner in "Spaceballs: the Movie"? THAT'S what happened to all the carcasses...

quote: This no more than a question, because I really don't know for sure. After watching CSI last night where they had a body that had been in the water for several days - it appears that a carcass fills up with gases relatively quickly and then can explode quite easily. Would that not have speeded up the "breaking down" process? Plus from the little reading I've done on this subject wouldn't a lot of carcasses (assuming that the flood took place the way that the bible says it does) have been buried in layers of rock, sand, etc.? [Probably shouldn't get involved in a topic that I really know nothing about]

Probably so, but then those layers would be around today for geologists to find. And they aren't.

quote: The decay process is almost entirely biological. The important factor is the access that organisms have to the body. The vanguard decomposers are already living inside you. There are fly maggots, vultures, etc. and what have you. But in the case of the biblical flood, all of these things are dead. The dead are then rapidly buried under feet to miles of sediment, all of it sterile because it wasn't on the ark. No decomposition could have occured until Noah let the animals off the ark. There was nothing alive outside to do the decomposition. The burial effectively seals the deeply buried bodies from any organisms on the ark that may get of and decompose them. But there must certainly be shallow graves that the bacteria can get to and animals on the surface as well. The smell must have been awful after a few weeks. While thinking about this, I realized that we should expect to find millions of salt saturated mummies buried in the ground. Not just bone. ------------------

What kind of a population (in number)are we talking about here? Any guesstimates?
