Acacias Flowers

How did acacia ants survive the flood?

Acacia ants are specialized to eat the nectar of an acacia tree. They have a tight symbiotic relationship with the tree in which the ants provide protection *in exchange* for nectar. The ants are only found in Central and (I think) South American. So in order for them to survive on the ark, they would have needed a living acacia tree. How did the ants and the tree make it to whereever Noah was so they could board the ark? Did the ants carry the tree with them or something? Face it - only children believe the story of Noah's Ark.

1. i think the xian answer is that the ants hibernated while on the ark. do ants hibernate? i dont think so.
2. I love ants! All praise and glory is to Allah, who saved Noah and those who believed in the Ark :-)
3. I still want to know what he did with all the fish. Last I checked if the earth flooded it would kill all the fresh water and salt water fish by throwing the rations off to hell and back.
4. Noah took the Ark to Central & South America and picked them up. He then put an acacia tree on it (and the entire ecosystem necessary to support it). Remember, the ark was only about 500 feet, but was apparently at least 800 stories tall so Noah could make room for everybody. Also, it was equipped with a turbocharged outboard motor and was capable of speeds of up to 150 mph. It was also pulled by flying reindeer, and delivered presents and brightly colored eggs all over the world.
5. Good point! An even better question is "What flood?"
6. Sadly, it's not only children who believe the story, but ignorant and closed-minded adults as well.
7. Did ants 'evolve' separately, or did they come from an original type of ant? HELLO? Is anyone home? Many types of insects and animals adapted to their environment when that was the only food type they could get. Do you think Koala bears always had their lousy diet of Eucalyptus leaves? The Panda bear and Bamboo shoots? The ones who were tolerant of the diet survived, the rest died, leaving only the ones tolerant of the change in diet. Keep trying.....face it, only mindless drones believe in the evolution media ploy. OPEN YOUR MIND.
8. ANTS! Even Orkin can't kill them! Their commercials say ants can survive in water without air for over a month.
9. If God can make people to survive in the desert for 40 years with manna, I am sure He had also a plan for acacia ants. : ) Face it: You just do not have faith in God and in His plan and powers. : )
