What about seeds surviving 40 days underwater?[b said:Quote[/b] (Rubra @ Jan. 10 2005,4:42)]Plants and insects both happen to have their own methods of survival. Plants have the amazing ability to produce seed, which in all cases I can think of can survive at least 44 days. Insects lay eggs, which normally hatch after anything from days to weeks, and can lay dormant for long periods of time if kept cold (ie. in cold water). Other insects could survive as nymphs underground. I personally am not sure quite how they all survived, but it would make an interesting study!
As for separate races, this site I found explains it much better than I can:

Go ahead and read it. Most of it its pretty self-explanatory.

PS: Can you show me where the Bible states that the earth is round?
neevr heard of that before, the seeds would rot away and die.
unless it was a water plant, of course.
if the nymphs burried themselbves underground, the massive water pressure would kill them if the water was that deep(up tot he highest peek)
I doubt most insect eggs would do that.
