I have read the Bible but that is not relevant to my point. You said there was nothing left alive after the flood yet there was a fresh olive leaf.
If you actually read what I wrote you'd see I said 'bird'. Both doves and ravens would qualify.
I asked about bacteria since there was no mention of it in the Bible and there are no males or females. Not surprising since the Bible doesn't mention any life not found in the Middle East. You'd think kangaroos would be worth a mention at least.
There is NO evidence for a single, global flood, only local floods. Sorry. Since the Flood was a supernatural event, as you said, it would not be appropriate to include it in a science course. Science is the study of nature, not the supernatural. That is the province of religion.
Would a flood kill bacteria? I have no idea, bacteria live everywhere. Would a flood kill a fish? I have no idea.
Seems unlikely it would have time to grow since it would have had to happen in less than 7 days. Another miracle?
The olive tree grew rapidly after the waters subsided. Look up olive trees and ancient olives trees in Israel.
Since, we're being picky, there were ahem TWO birds -- a dove and a raven sent out. Not a "bird." Do you know why Noah would do that?
This goes to show atheists are usually wrong. You claimed,
>>"
That's not true. As I recall Noah saw a bird and knew that land had appeared because it found a fresh olive leaf.
Obviously some life survived."<<
It was Noah who sent the birds out, not that he saw a bird that survived. The olive tree grew once the waters had subsided and land was above water again. What do you know about olive trees in Israel? The bird(s) and olive leaf doesn't mean that life had survived lol.
Lol about NO evidence for a global flood. Just the geography in the US shows different and we find fossils on mountain tops. Why do you think we do mining on moutain tops, too?
Flood killed bacteria as they breathe air. I would think it killed the fish, too, from the force of the water or hot water rising up from beneath although there is debate about it among creation scientists.
Why are NASA scientists exploring for habitable planets and they are looking for planets that have subterranean oceans and magnetic fields surrounding it? What were they looking for in the recent Mars exploration?

Lolwut?
