forty times as hard for ONE DAY?

No, God made the Ark animals constipated. He timed it so they could crap after 40 days (and 40 nights). The resulting deluge of crap deplaced all the water and created the continents.
Incidentally, this is where the word incontinent comes from.

Sure, he could have. But he didn't.
If you pay attention, you will find how and where the Old Testament echoes in the New. Forty days and forty nights of rain cf. Jesus' forty days and nights in the desert.

If He had it rain super hard for one day,I believe you would ask,"Couldn't an ALL POWERFUL God simply make it easier on the environment and have it rain 40 days and nights and be nicer?"I'm sure no answer would please you except,"Hey Dude.there ain't no God"
But if it rained harder would it have been too much for the Ark?Did God know just how hard to make it rain so that when the waters came up from the deep(below the Earth)[which is what shoved the landscape upward to raise the mountains to their present heights] It wouldn't capsize the Ark? I'm pretty sure He knew how to handle the situation,unlike us who use 10% of our brains.
PS a couple of rows above me...Is your name Trigger 'Cause you look like Roy Rogers Horse?I know that's mean ...I just couldn't resist...Sorry.

It was a literal forty days and forty nights, He was preserving alive Noah and his family along with animal creation. Raining hard for one day would have destroyed everything.

Forty days and forty nights in bible-talk just means a freaking long time. It's not literal.

Sure He could have. He could have done anything any way He wanted but, what would have made Him any different than a magician??? As a Christian, one of the foundations of our faith is Faith. Faith that God does and will do things in His divine and perfect way - despite the fact that it makes no logical sense to us. So, 40 days, 40 night, 40 years, there was a lesson of obedience, trust and faith that He was teaching us all. What really matters is - did you learn it (*wink*)?

god can do any thing ! although what god was
doing was wiping out the evil in this world .
so if it rained for one day how would that solve what he was doing . god could have it rain 40 times harder for one day but he had other plans
for this world . his plans will work out perfectly in the end !!! now and then , Randi .
