All I can figure is that it did not exist. Otherwise, how can one explain why Noah, his family, and all the various animals were not crushed under the extreme pressure caused by the evaporation of the worldwide flood? Everyone already knows that all the water could not have seeped into the ground because the ground was already saturated from the flood.

Maybe God just drank the water as it came up into the sky. But you are right, where did all that water go? NObody seems to have an answer for this.
BTW, keep it up with the flood questions. You're doing great.

Prior to the Biblical flood, rain was unknown. Plants were watered by a mist that rose up from the ground [Genesis 2;6]
All the moisture around the earth was in a blanket of cloud. This would imply no oceans or lakes, buty unending land. And probably very flat and uniform. A question arises. Could heavy rain for the 40 days and nights the Bible states, DUMP ENOUGH WATER ON THE SURFACE TO CREATE THE OCEANS WE KNOW.? I do not question the Bible account but realise that so much water and weight would force the earth into the shapes, mountains and valleys we know today.
And no one except Noah and his family survived. We have all descended from that family. Eight people. now 6.5 billion.
About your saturation problem...Have you never watered your lawn and seen the water just lay there. And later when you dug into the lawn, were very surprised that the water HAD FAILED to soak deep down.?
Then you have to add a product like WETTA-SOIL to aid that soaking.

Whoah! Let's play with your absence of logic here. A person walks by your window and you can only see the top half of them, does that mean the lower half ceased to exist?!
Barometric pressure existed it just wasn't labeled as such because nobody labeled it, scientifically, as such at that time. Oh and you're ASSUMING the flood actually happened as it's written in the Bible. This is where your literal interpretations will get you... NOWHERE in reality.

The immense pressure exerted on the tectonic plates by that much water coming down caused great earthquakes, the likes of which haven't been seen since. The waters were then contained in what are now our oceans. It didn't evaporate...

Miss - the flood and its results were acts of God...why attempt to overlay this with scientific questions?
Also of course barometic pressure existed....no one man INVENTED it!
