Ok, good arguments, lets move on..
Gen 7:17 Now the flood was on the earth forty days. The waters increased and lifted up the ark, and it rose high above the earth. 18 The waters prevailed and greatly increased on the earth, and the ark moved about on the surface of the waters. 19 And the waters prevailed exceedingly on the earth, and all the high hills under the whole heaven were covered. 20 The waters prevailed fifteen cubits upward, and the mountains were covered. 21 And all flesh died that moved on the earth: birds and cattle and beasts and every creeping thing that creeps on the earth, and every man.
I get the idea, everything wiped out because man was turning out a bit rotten by all accounts. Presumably this means 7 metres above the highest mountain? I'm sure you have explanations about where all this water came from but I can't see it really so I'll move quickly on.
The water mostly came from the deep...for which there is physical evidence of two types...one the waters discovered recently below the crust which is greater than all the oceans and two the work of Dr. Richard Brown, a former Physicist from the U.S. Defense Department, confirming one of the most ignored details of the flood story, and that is, that most of the water came not from above in the atmosphere, but from under the ground. He determined that in one day in the remote past, the earth’s crust MAY HAVE (definitely speculating on the evidence he saw) literally cracked and split,
possibly caused by a massive colliding comet or some other cataclysmic force. It turns out this splitting of the crust wraps all the way around the world, as witnessed by the oceanic ridge, which is as Dr. Brown points out, “
like the seam on a baseball.”
According to his theory, the subterranean water must have exploding under great pressure “
would have shot up from the broken crust about twenty miles into the atmosphere”, descending everywhere as rain, snow, or ice. The clincher is, that Dr. Brown estimates, that whatever happened that split the earth’s crust, was so powerful, that it caused all major rifts to occur within “
a span of about three hour’s time“.
Therefore, if his estimates are correct (though not attributing its cause to God), literally “
all the fountains“ of the deep actually were broken up, “
in the same day“!
Also 15 cubits above the mountain tops does not equal 7 metres...15 cubits (depending on the length of the forearm of the man...a small person maybe 15 inches...a Shaq O'neil as long as 22 inches...the cubit was relative...
Just sharing...
