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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.
