"...transformed over the eons, absorbing more water as the rocks were ground into clay and became buried."

Grinding rocks into clay sized particles may absorb water, But hardening removes water as clay minerals in shales are diagenetically transformed or metamorphosed into slates.

Lol if he did take 2 of every insect it could of been a bad idea lol. I dont believe any verse specifies insects. But they could also survive on a piece of floating wood. OrIt could explain why they are found on every continent.

Water may be absorbed by rocks as they are crushed into clay-sized particles, but water is removed during the hardening process when clay minerals in shale are genetically changed or metamorphosed into slates.
