A sheep in wolf's clothing.
The waters prevailed fifteen cubits upward, and the mountains were covered.
(Genesis 7:20) NKJV
Mount Everest formed AFTER Noah’s flood, and there was enough water in the great deep to flood the Earth 1,200 km deep. 15 cubits was when the crew of the ark stopped taking soundings.

Thus hath the Lord GOD shewed unto me: and, behold, the Lord GOD called to contend by fire, and it devoured the great deep, and did eat up a part.
(Amos 7:4) KJV
When Noah’s flood took place the waters of the great deep burst forth and flooded the Earth. If we know the volume of water and the radius of the Earth at this time, then we may calculate how deep the water was.

The thing that hath been, it is that which shall be; and that which is done is that which shall be done: and there is no new thing under the sun. Is there any thing whereof it may be said, See, this is new? it hath been already of old time, which was before us.
(Ecclesiastes 1:9-10) KJV
Welcome to the 19th Century! It’s ironic that, even today, people will presume to disprove God by cobbling together some math based on Uniformitarianism ideals.

Thus hath the Lord GOD shewed unto me: and, behold, the Lord GOD called to contend by fire, and it devoured the great deep, and did eat up a part.
(Amos 7:4) KJV
In Matty’s Paradigm the purpose of the fountains of the great deep was to allow the waters of the deep to drain into the interior of the Earth as the dry land was spread out on the third day. The deep became the great deep, in the interior of the Earth

For if God spared not the angels that sinned, but cast them down to hell, and delivered them into chains of darkness, to be reserved unto judgment.
(2 Peter 2:4) KJV
Hell wasn’t created during the six days of creation. This is important to understand. Hell is a consequence of sin which began after the fall of man.

And the LORD God planted a garden eastward in Eden; and there he put the man whom he had formed. And out of the ground made the LORD God to grow every tree that is pleasant to the sight, and good for food; the tree of life also in the midst of the garden, and the tree of knowledge of good and evil.
(Genesis 2:8-9) KJV
We have lots of questions and definitions today. I thought I’d share them.
Abiogenesis is the creative will of God expressed as progressively more complex biological life over the course of the 6 days of creation.
– Abiogenesis, definition
Devolution is change in allele frequency in a population, combined with accumulated mutations and DNA replication errors, that causes genomic decay, sickness, and loss of variability over time. It includes both macro and micro evolution. It began at the fall of man in Genesis 3:16.
– Devolution, definition
Devolution is the process of genetic change over time by which the animals saved on Noah’s ark gave rise to the distribution of current biodiversity.
– Devolution, context
Evolution on the scale required in the SciPop paradigm requires death. There was no death before sin, therefore the evolutionary basis of the Phylogenetic Tree of Life is impossible.
And every plant of the field before it was in the earth, and every herb of the field before it grew: for the LORD God had not caused it to rain upon the earth, and there was not a man to till the ground. But there went up a mist from the earth, and watered the whole face of the ground.
(Genesis 2:5-6) KJV
On the 3rd day there was no rain upon the earth and there was not a man to till the ground. On the 6th day there was a man in the garden of Eden to dress it and to keep it, logically there was also rain.

And the whole earth was of one language, and of one speech. And it came to pass, as they journeyed from the east, that they found a plain in the land of Shinar; and they dwelt there. And they said one to another, Go to, let us make brick, and burn them throughly. And they had brick for stone, and slime had they for morter. And they said, Go to, let us build us a city and a tower, whose top may reach unto heaven; and let us make us a name, lest we be scattered abroad upon the face of the whole earth. And the LORD came down to see the city and the tower, which the children of men builded. And the LORD said, Behold, the people is one, and they have all one language; and this they begin to do: and now nothing will be restrained from them, which they have imagined to do. Go to, let us go down, and there confound their language, that they may not understand one another’s speech. So the LORD scattered them abroad from thence upon the face of all the earth: and they left off to build the city. Therefore is the name of it called Babel; because the LORD did there confound the language of all the earth: and from thence did the LORD scatter them abroad upon the face of all the earth.
( Genesis 11:1-8 ) KJV
101 years elapsed between the end of Noah’s flood and the birth of Peleg when the tectonic plates formed. The establishment and abandoning of Babel and the spread of people across Pangaea took place during this period of time.
In the selfsame day entered Noah, and Shem, and Ham, and Japheth, the sons of Noah, and Noah’s wife, and the three wives of his sons with them, into the ark; They, and every beast after his kind, and all the cattle after their kind, and every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth after his kind, and every fowl after his kind, every bird of every sort. And they went in unto Noah into the ark, two and two of all flesh, wherein is the breath of life. And they that went in, went in male and female of all flesh, as God had commanded him: and the LORD shut him in.
( Genesis 7:13-16 ) KJV
If Noah’s ark was the origin of all terrestrial life then we can see the role of evolution. There were 2 horses on the ark, now there are at least 7 species in genus Equus. Evolution is part of the creation narrative.
And Noah builded an altar unto the LORD; and took of every clean beast, and of every clean fowl, and offered burnt offerings on the altar. And the LORD smelled a sweet savour; and the LORD said in his heart, I will not again curse the ground any more for man’s sake; for the imagination of man’s heart is evil from his youth; neither will I again smite any more every thing living, as I have done. While the earth remaineth, seedtime and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night shall not cease.
( Genesis 8: 20-22 ) KJV
The cleansing of the land by the waters of Noah’s flood picture for us the cleansing that we receive symbolically in baptism. The earth was literally baptized and regenerated.
