Maybe .... but it (Gen. 8:21) still can't be squared with a LOCAL Flood
(unless we are to believe that the habitat of everything living was ALSO a
localized phenomenon). And providing aquatic quarters for all the gilled,
finny, etc. denizens of the deep puts a definite burden on the Ark's
stability, not to mention it's ability to even float when so loaded.
And as for God being omnipotent, perhaps you'd care to assist Carter in
demolishing my "God as a Designer is an inept klutz" argument based on the
specifics of the human retina versus the equivalent structure in the
octopus/squid/cephalod. ;-)
