It could have been an aftereffect in the black sea after the Zanclean Flood.
Meaning, only salt water fish.
Salt water and fresh weather don’t mix. So obviously they built a wall…
Did Mexico pay for it?
Aztecs. Or was it Mayans? Whichever had the city of gold and was rich enough to afford building one.
Noah had 2 of each species in individual, appropriately salted fishbowls in his ark, duh
but how did he manage to keep the right temperature, salinity, oxygen, luminosity, and nutriments suited for each kind of fish? Surely he was a master engineer and aquarist.
Noah! Noah! Don’t put the xenia on your main rockwork! Noah!
The great flood is actually something that likely happened in some capacity. Iirc multiple religions from the area have a great flood myth around that time, as well as there being archeological evidence that some massive flooding in the area occurred around that time.

Large regional floods are common to civilizations in and around big bodies of water. There is no archeological evidence to suggest one big global flood, but plenty of historical accounts of large flooding events that deluged the major population centers of nation states. We even have a few cities submerged within the Mediterranean and off the coast of East Asia and the Caribbean.
As a once-in-a-century event that has enormous implications on the lives and livelihoods of large populations, is it really that crazy to believe they’d develop a shared mythology around the event? We have all sorts of shared myths about thunder storms and constellation patterns and growing seasons and wars. Why not floods?
To them, a regional flood was their whole world flooding.
I never said global flood. You’re actually agreeing with my points.

Is a global flood not what people mean when they say the great flood?
You’re ignoring the “in some capacity” part.
I’m not. It’s why I kept it in the quote. A great flood happening in some capacity sounds like you’re saying a global flood happened in some capacity. Massive regional floods giving people the impression the whole world is flooded is a little different. It’s all semantics though, really. If you say that’s what you meant then I accept I was just trying to clarify the confusion people are having.
It’s really not that different to the people being flooded. Water as far as the eye can see, leaving destruction in it’s wake, possibly completely chainging the terrain forever, destroying their entire world.
This would have been before the idea of a globe was even popular, let alone common knowledge.
All water was the same back then. After the Flood the fish that got scattered into different types of waters began to do speed runs in evolution for a few thousand years, and then slowed down.
It’s like how a massive flood back then would lay down layers of similar sediments, even alter some to look like they got overrun by other layers, but that kind of physics doesn’t happen anymore so no one can prove it.
So…you’re saying that evolution is needed to explain the Bible?
Did fish Eve eat from the forbidden plankton or something and that is why god separated them into salt and freshwater groups?
Isn’t there like parts of the ocean where the salt and freshwater don’t mix due to the difference in density? 🤔
I was thinking of this too. It does have a cool looking effect.
There are, yes. Sadly I don’t know the names. It’s pretty cool though.
I’ve heard they’re sometimes referred to as underwater lakes but idk the scientific name
It’s so obvious if you aren’t a wokie, clearly the saltwater fish are demons sent by Satan to push the LGBTQ agenda.
Do you think a six line wrasse needs all those damn woke colors?
Do you think percula clownfish change gender to fit the needs of their environment WITHOUT Satan’s help?!
HA, YOUVE ALL BEEN FOOLED

Is it more probable that nature should go out of her course or that a man should tell a lie? We have never seen, in our time, nature go out of her course. But we have good reason to believe that millions of lies have been told in the same time. It is therefore at least millions to one that the reporter of a miracle tells a lie.

Uh, yeah, well, whenever you notice something like that, god did it.
I guess God and Homer approach problems like these in a similar fashion:
You gotta remember that in those very ancient times of the flood myths (other cultures and religions in the region have flood myths) The “world” wasn’t the entire planet as we know it now. What they meant was their known world, or the Mediterranean and North African coast.
So it’s very likely that a massive flood maybe caused by an ice age thaw, caused the Mediterranean and ancient coastlines, where humans settled, to flood and destroy all their homes.
I don’t think so, but you can never say it’s isn’t possible that some guy built a barge and put his family, livestock, etc. On it and they survived the floods and thought they were the only ones
There might have been a flood at some point where some people survived on a boat, but the noah story isn’t based on any such event, it’s just plagiarized from the epic of gilgamesh
Maybe that story was based on a true event, but it wouldn’t involve someone named noah
I’ve seen pretty strong evidence that the Mediterranean Sea used to not be a sea, and that the flood was the land bridge holding back the ocean failing and allowing the sea to form
Could be where the flood came in and took out everyone on low ground
Noah. He had lots of aquaria on the ark.
Well. The thing is. That never happend.
