Proof of Noah's flood.

[coheir]

Earth was never flooded, as the water would have nowhere to go. The earth would still be underwater.

God does amazing things

like

creating heaven and earth

creating all kind of creatures

creating nature

creating mankind in his image

giving mankind freewill

watching and pleading

while they destroy themselves

creating a flood to clean up the mess

saving animals and mankind

so they could try again

dispersing the flood waters

teaching the best way to live

sending a savior before repentance

helping man after repentance

fulfilling centuries old prophesies

only one that does not lie

If the whole earth was flooded with water, the water would have no where to run off. Thank you, Shaz.

 

Genesis says the "waters prevailed" indicating that they subdued the earth below.

 

The earth bends under the pressure of the oceans, and if they are allowed some kind of momentum, does not need much speed at all, even a couple of knots will do it, nothing will prevent them from overruling the land. Notice that they first "prevailed" and then "prevailed exceedingly" finally covering the highest mountains. The landscape under these waters was pushed around, up and down, until it was all under. There are several methods God has in place today to prevent them from doing that, but that is another subject.

 

Later, we can talk about the details of this prevalence of water, and see the evidence of how it shaped the earth underneath, and how the earth reacted.

 

Once these oceans prevail over the earth with an average depth of 2000 meters, God has to cause them to "asswage" and create ocean basins again.

 

God tells us how,Gen 8:1-4. Remember to use the KJV, otherwise you may have missing details.

Deep within the Earth's rocky mantle lies oceans' worth of water locked up in a type of mineral called ringwoodite, new research shows.

The results of the study will help scientists understand Earth's water cycle, and how plate tectonics moves water between the surface of the planet and interior reservoirs, researchers say.

 

 

Kind of gives a new flavor to this scripture.

 

 

Gen 7:10-12

10 And it came about after the seven days, that the water of the flood came upon the earth. 11 In the six hundredth year of Noah's life, in the second month, on the seventeenth day of the month, on the same day all the fountains of the great deep burst open, and the floodgates of the sky were opened. 12 And the rain fell upon the earth for forty days and forty nights.

Someone had asked me recently, if koala bears only eat eucalyptus leaves, after getting off the ark, what did they eat and how did they get to Australia.  I told them I didn't know.

Other One,

 

What do you think of II Peter 3:5,6? the world standing in the water and yet out of it.

Yes, the way I see it, the earth was undergoing major tectonic movements at the time.  Continents were splitting creating huge dry trenches which suddenly filled with water when the cracks reached the ocean. Sea levels could suddenly drop as ocean water flooded into the chasms of splitting continents.

It very much sounds as if the land was a single area before the flood. I get the picture that a lot happened to the earth besides rain.

that's how you read scripture...it can be read many other ways right down to the analogy that is Jesus and his sacrifice.  God used many lessons...taking them literally lessons their impact..

Pardon me, but I really don't have time to go down that rabbit hole.

Someone had asked me recently, if koala bears only eat eucalyptus leaves, after getting off the ark, what did they eat and how did they get to Australia.  I told them I didn't know.

 

Koala bears are marsupials and all Australian marsupials have a recent genetic ancestor of the South American possum.  When animals are isolated on an island they can rapidly adapt to fill various ecological niches, and so their outward morphology can be vastly different, but their DNA is still  closely related to each other. 

 

This can be referred to as rapid "convergent evolution". Where the ecology is in need of a mouse, or a wolf, and no such animal exists on an isolated island, an existing species can rapidly adapt to fill that niche. Its outward appearance may resemble a mouse or a wolf, but DNA has no match. And so I suggest that Koala bears have a common ancestor with South American possums, and are a species that have since specialised into an eucalyptus diet once in Australia.
