Well as i stated also,the bible said it rained until all the mountains and high hills were covered by water.
So lets say the highest mountain was say only 100 meters high.
That is very low im sure you'd agree.
Now,calculate how much excess water is required to cover our planet so as we have an extra 100 meters diameter.
Then explain as to where all that extra mass (water) went.
Brad
On earth today, water covers near 71% vs land. And at any time the average amount of water in the atmosphere is near 37.5 million billion gallons of water. What is that, 37,500,000,000,000,000 gallons. That is only enough to cover the earth about 20mm, oceans and land.
So as brad said about the rain cloud post I made, then the rain on the land drains back into the ocean, said here in post 256 "So the ocean level went down when filling the cloud,then went back up once the cloud dropped the water. So the actual rise would be little more than 20mm. But nobody knows what was what back then. There is no other written account that the atheist has that can object to the Bibles account. We have to agree that if after the flood that the first rainbow was seen by man, that the skys must have been so full of water(clouds) that there was no breaks in the clouds for sunlight to directly penetrate. There may have been higher global temps back then, and possibly no glaciers.
Most days around the world, the skys are clear. Just look at sat images. Now if the atmosphere were fully clouded, we could at least figure a minimum of total water in the fully clouded sky of that time before the flood.
Maybe the earth was 'flatter. Brad said in post 5 "As i recall,Carroll said the earth was mostly flat,and the hills and mountains were formed due to the waters pressure. But as you can read in the bible it self,the hills and mountains already existed-as we know they did,and the 40 days and 40 nights of rain supplied enough water to cover them by 15 cubits-->22.5 feet, according to the bible."
Just because the bible said that hills and mountains existed, that doesnt mean that there wasnt any new ones or even extrusions of existing hills and mountains due to earthquakes and plate shifts like even Carrol presented earlier as to how the water could have risen from and where it drained into when all was said and done. What? Couldnt have happened?? Never has happened? Does not happen today? Oh, could never be that much of it going on at the time?
As i said earlier, if God opened up the fountains of the earth, then the earth must have really shook. But for the atheist it is always cant happen, couldnt have happened, isnt possible, no way. But they can believe in a magical happening of accidental life formation that could survive an environment that was barren(frog in a blender post), not even any vegetation and 'survived' and developed into every living thing on earth. lol, and all they have is theories and missing links but hold to their beliefs as strong or even more than religious people do. Like was said by someone earlier, mother nature is their god, science is their church and theory is their bible. And they say the Bible is just a bunch of stories written by man. But their theorys, stories written by men, are truth. Funny aint it?
But ya know, 'we' as christians and creationists dont really have to go through all this figuring out of what ifs and hows in the manner we are trying to. God did it. God is able to do whatever and anything. Why does there need to be a requirement for how much water is in or on or above the earth? He is God. He can make it appear just like he could perform a big bang! Why not? Why is it that atheists think God has limitations?? They give us all these scientific odds, numbers and theories that propose that even if there was a God, he was limited to say, the amount of water on earth in order to flood it, effectively saying 'Even God could not do it!' lol
We dont have to prove anything. It is you the atheist that has to prove beyond the shaddow of a doubt that...
1 God does not exist.
2 Prove the accidental creation of life
3 How evolution developed into all existing life, including all animals, mammals, 'Grass', pine trees, etc.
I wonder Brad. Which came first, the chicken or the eggplant?? It is amazing how your evolution created by your mother nature(imaginary being) did it all. Well, yesterday you were going to show us proof. Well prove that God does not exist. If all you have is incomplete bits and pieces via theories, well thats not good enough.
