@galveston75 saidI do not have the proof of how many gallons of water the earth has on it's surface, under ground or in the atmosphere that was used in the flood or here today. Neither do you have the proof that the flood did not happen.

All the water that was on the earth when Jehovah put it there is still here. The bible clearly says that before there was dry ground, the water covere ...[text shortened]... Soon he will have to step in and correct it and bring it back to the paradise he intended it to be.
All the water that was on the earth when Jehovah put it there is still here. The bible clearly says that before there was dry ground, the water covered the entire planet. no doubt the reason for that was to cool the planet so that land or crust would eventually form for you to live on. In order for that to happen some of the water naturally settled in lower areas. Much of the water evaporated up in the atmosphere to form the cloud layer that covered the whole planet just as the bible says. The rest of the water soaked into the ground which supplied water thru springs to give life to all the life Jehovah created here.
The complete cloud cover overhead would have made a hot house affect over the entire planet which is proven by both plant life and animal life that has been found in very cold latitudes frozen. Life that would never be able to live there with today's climates.
So now you have the flood. For there to be rain for 24 hours for forty days one cannot even start to grasp how much rain that was. So no need to ask me the question of how many gallons that could have been.
The bible says it covered the highest elevation by 15 cubits or a little over 20'. The bible does not say what the highest elevation was on the earth at that time. But chances are it may have not been anything like today's mountains because earlier with Adam God told him to cultivate the entire earth and subdue it. With today's earthly features with it's extremes, that would be impossible.
So now with the tremendous weight of all the water that has come from the sky for forty days and the massive amounts of turbulence that had to happen as thinner areas of the earths crust sinking and other areas rising, we now have those extremes that makes the earth not able to produce the food it would have been able to originally and it now made many parts of the earth dangerous with the upheaval of the plates causing earthquakes, volcanoes, deserts, frozen areas and climate extremes and also with full and dangerous sun exposure that we are really not supposed to be exposed too. Also with a much thicker atmosphere with the added thick cloud layer that was designed by Jehovah then, it would have added much more friction that would no doubt keep all meteors from reaching the surface of our home.
We were designed to live forever on a planet that he says will be here forever. The earth as we see it now cannot do that very well especially with humans sinning and ruining it more daily. Soon he will have to step in and correct it and bring it back to the paradise he intended it to be.
As a matter of interest, in the course of researching this topic, what did you find scientists were saying about your theory (above)?
@galveston75 saidHow many "average type clouds" can "the entire sky" hold at most? Is it more or less than 0.0009% of the Earth's water? If "average type clouds ... dumped [water] for a continuous 40 days", how much water would be left "in the entire sky"?
Now think really big and figure out if the entire sky from pole to pole was filled with this said average type cloud and it dumped for a continuous 40 days........Well there ya go!
@galveston75 saidWow this is new science!
the entire earth was covered with a cloud layer. So the harmful rays of the sun never reached the surface of the earth.
What harmful rays of the sun are you talking about?
@wolfgang59 saidHave you heard of skin cancer?
Wow this is new science!
What harmful rays of the sun are you talking about?
@fmf saidI would think if it rained for 40 days straight it would be a tad more then the figure you keep quoting.

What would be left up there after the 40 days, who knows? Probably with the sun now hitting the surface of the waters that covered the earth and with evaporation as we have today it would probably be about that figure give or take.
I know your trying to get me to answer questions no one could possibly know, even for you. I'm simply stating what the bible says happened and with a little common sense I would think others that believe in the bible might agree somewhat as to the probability of this happening. But again for ones who do not believe in Jehovah and in all he says, good luck with your ideas which by the way as more is dug up and with more common sense used and with stepping back and really looking at the earth and really listening to the Bible for a change, you just might get the story straight on the creation of the earth by God who is a little smarter then you.
@galveston75 saidYou have a whole story about water in, on and above the Earth that is firmly based on assertions that you are pointedly unable to answer questions about.

@galveston75 saidAll the Earth's water - except 0.0009% of it - is, now, on or under the Earth's surface. What "turbulence" do you think this is currently causing the Earth's crust and its mountains?

@galveston75 saidWhat if "stepping back and really looking at the Earth" results in knowledge about water in its various forms that conflicts with Bible?

@fmf saidOh about this........................................................................................................... much!!!!!
How much is a "tad more"?
@fmf saidIt won't.
What if "stepping back and really looking at the Earth" results in knowledge about water in its various forms that conflicts with Bible?
@fmf saidDidn't say it was still happening did I? Nope.
All the Earth's water - except 0.0009% of it - is, now, on or under the Earth's surface. What "turbulence" do you think this is currently causing the Earth's crust and its mountains?
@galveston75 saidIt's odd how you present a theory that seems unable to withstand any scrutiny or questions.
Oh about this........................................................................................................... much!!!!!
