Well, since the Earth's water is more than 70% salt water the flood water would be salty, so Noah just could have made a giant aquarium ( out of wood of course ) and put the couple thousand species of freshwater fish in there and then dumped them in the nearest lake after the flood. Right? no problem. Well, except that there would not be anymore freshwater anywhere on Earth - oh well. - Steve Robiner University of Rochester {allegra|seismo|decvax}!rochester!ur-univax!stro
