Upper Noachian
Some people have gone to great lengths to be able to say that there is presently not enough water on earth to flood it to a depth of 15 cubits above all mountains. They use math to do this so, naturally, everybody believes them because, hey, it’s math. Those folk are, sadly, depending of the philosophical foundation of nineteenth Century Uniformitarianism. Uniformitarianism is the belief that the conditions on earth have been so stable for so long that the conditions of the present day are a sufficiently accurate indicator of conditions in the past.
Nothing could be further from the truth.
There are several reasons why the math-based flood-deniers are not even in the same ball park:
- they have not considered the great deep, a vast open space inside the earth (replaced in the scientific paradigm by the outer core) which was full of water,
- they have not considered an extra terrestrial source of water which, we are told, was part of the event,
- they have not considered that the mountain ranges they use as a measure, i.e. the Himalayas, did not form until AFTER Noah’s flood,
- and they have not considered that the earth’s radius has shrunk dramatically since the time of the flood.
So, just because a bunch of flood-deniers can wave some math around, don’t believe it. If you want to see some math on how much water was available in the great deep see the post Noah’s Math.
