How did Noah deal with worms?

Actually, no. worms "breathe" by getting oxygen directly through their skin. Let us assume that somehow the worms were able to stay above water without falling off of the debris for 40 days and that they don't starve to death during that time, since it supposedly rained for 40 days and 40 nights the worms would have been constantly be wet all over during all that period. 40 days and 40 nights is more than long enough to suffocate them all.You can do an experiment at home. Get an earthworm and put it in a glass. Put some water in but not too much. Allow enough space above for the worm to go above the water. Let it sit there for 40 days. Don't forget to keep pouring water into the glass if it starts to evaporate. This is nonsense. Yes, there are a lot of rivers that flow directly into the ocean. But the ocean also loses water through evaporation. It's a never ending cycle. Water evaporate from the ocean, the evaporated water condense and rain down on land and into rivers, rivers flow back into the oceans, and the water evaporate again.By the way, I'm just making sure, not that I want to insult your intelligence. The Na+ and Cl- ions don't evaporate along with the water. They remain with the solvent. What the hell is "mixing action of the ocean"? Ignoring all the nonsense in this part, let us go back to the being wet issue. It supposedly rained for 40 days and 40 nights. That meant that everything on the surface was completely wet for 40 days and 40 nights. Wouldn't all the larvae suffocated to death, then? Larvae need oxygen too, you know.

I actually have to argue for the other side on this one.Cases where people with parasitic worms, although rare in the developed countries, are quite common in undeveloped countries. I grew up in Viet Nam. Back then, having worms in your intestines didn't really mean that big of a deal. I know, now that I think about it, I don't know how I lived through all of that.Anyway, people in the early days, especially thousands of years ago, undoubtedly didn't have the sanitation that we have today. I wouldn't be surprised if finding a tapeworm in your body in 4,000 BCE was thought to be common.

The only thing I can think of to answer about the other parasitic worms is that they all came from whatever the worms that were inside Noah and his miserable family members. Creationists have no problem with the so-called microevolution. After all, all the parasitic worms are the same "kind".

Well, maybe they indeed volunteered to hold those creatures inside their intestines.

What an odd question.

Hate world.Revenge soon!

This way way way off topic. Please try to stick with the topic at hand.You can go to this page to (1) look at my puppies and (2) use the links to your advantage. (1)It's fun to do so.

​

(2)Unfortunately, the average person doesn't have the training necessary to distinquish between good science and bad science. The problem is that creationists have distorted real science and made their position seem plausible to the unwashed masses. Politicians are not scientists and they need the unwashed masses' support to get into office. If we don't do something, we could very well see the persecution of real scientists in the near future and the burnings of planetariums and laboratories.

​

(3)Unfortunately, the average person out there doesn't know this.

​

(4)Would you like me to throw you a bone?

​

(5)You are a few years ahead of me there.

​

(6)All you have to do is fly to Illinois and meet me.

​

(7)Duh...
