Answer 1

lol-I'll answer-God made it disappear in the 'firmanents'!....
or, Noah used it to make the wine he got drunk with afterwards!

Answer 2

But some persons, nevertheless, question the accuracy of the Bible’s account of an earthwide flood. They cannot understand where all the water from such a flood could have gone. When they contemplate waters covering “all the tall mountains that were under the whole heavens,” they think of the more than five-mile-high Himalayan peaks.

However, there is no reason to believe that the pre-Flood mountains had to be nearly as high as that. You may recall that the Scientific Monthly magazine suggested that in earth’s earlier days “there were no high mountains forming physical or climatic barriers.” It was apparently the tremendous weight of the Flood waters that pushed mountain peaks to their high levels and produced more than six-mile-deep valleys in the ocean floor.

Then, too, in pre-Flood times there may have been considerably less of the earth’s surface covered by water. Regarding this the book The Genesis Flood observes:

“In the past decade have been discovered great numbers of ‘seamounts,’ which are nothing but drowned islands out in the middle of the ocean. These are flat-topped, and therefore non-volcanic in formation, and are now in many cases more than 1,000 fathoms below the surface. Yet they give abundant evidence of having once been above the surface.”

Thus, there is ample evidence for accepting the Bible’s account of the Flood as true. There is a logical and Scriptural explanation for the source of the Flood waters, as well as for where the waters went afterward. And such a global catastrophe provides a satisfying explanation for such an intriguing phenomenon as the millions of fishes entombed at the top of mountain ranges.

Answer 3

What happened to the Flood waters?

A clue to the answer may be found in Psalm 104:7-9, a passage that describes the earth’s creation. The Genesis Flood is also in view in this reference, since it mentions the rainbow promise of no more worldwide floods:

At thy rebuke they fled; at the voice of thy thunder they hasted away. They go up by the mountains; they go down by the valleys unto the place which thou hast founded for them. Thou hast set a bound that they may not pass over; that they turn not again to cover the earth.

The Flood waters are said to have flowed over the mountains and down to the valleys. Today, the greatest valleys on the entire earth are the submerged ocean basins, some as deep as seven miles beneath the sea surface. And great mountains exist on the ocean floor, the peaks of the highest ones forming islands. As the Flood concluded great tectonic activity evidently pushed the continental land upward and the ocean basins downward. Of course, every physical change on earth occurs by the hand of the Lord, using either natural or supernatural means. The conclusion is that the Genesis Flood waters are still present on the earth, as close as the nearest shoreline. Great heights such as Mount Everest were formed after the Flood, having been pushed upward as the ocean valleys were lowered. Various sedimentary rocks, marine fossils, and shells are frequently found on today’s mountain tops. The highest peaks also appear to be relatively youthful and only recently eroded. Thus most are post-Flood formations. Of course, some mountains also existed prior to the Flood, according to Genesis 7:20, although their heights are unknown. Perhaps these mountains were located in a lowland area so that their actual height about sea level was not great. Either the waters rose high enough to cover these pre-Flood hills and mountains, or they may have been worn downward by the Flood waters. Whichever the case, the testimony from Scripture and from the earth declares a worldwide flood of judgment in the days of Noah.

Answer 4

I would imagine with God being God, he evaporated it & made it go into the soil in a supernatural way, so that it did not return in rain and flood the earth again.

Per the last answer, God is in control of everything ultimately, but he made Satan the ruler over the heavens [i.e. weather]. This is why storms are possible that harm people, God does not make them do so .... He ALLOWS it.
Another point would could be said to be, that there are Aliens. However if you read about demons, you will find that a vast array of alien abduction reports sound far close to the explanations of what demons are in the Bible.
Demons have their OWN WILLS, Feelings that can be hurt, and other things just like man. I can't believe they are angels of God, because what angel of God would harm people or do horrifying tests on their bodies? To me this sounds like fallen angels' works.

All praise is due to Allah and peace and blessings be upon the beloved Prophet Muhammad. Here is an explanation for your confusion. I have also provided a link where you can find the Qur'anic explanation on Hyrdrology. Click on the ebook THE QUR'AN & MODERN SCIENCE - COMPATIBLE OR INCOMPATIBLE? It is in PDF form.

THE FLOOD

Chapters 6, 7 and 8 are devoted to the description of the Flood. In actual fact, there are two descriptions; they have not been placed side by side, but are distributed all the way through. Passages are interwoven to give the appearance of a coherent succession of varying episodes. In these three chapters there are, in reality, blatant contradictions; here again the explanation
lies in the existence of two quite distinct sources: the Yahvist and Sacerdotal versions.
It has been shown earlier that they formed a disparate amalgam; each original text has been broken down into paragraphs or phrases, elements of one source alternating with the other, so that in the course of the complete description, we go from one to another seventeen times in roughly one hundred lines of English text.
Taken as a whole, the story goes as follows:
Man's corruption had become widespread, so God decided to annihilate him along with all the other living creatures. He warned Noah and told him to construct the Ark into which he was to take his wife, his three sons and their wives, along with other living creatures. The two sources differ for the latter. One passage (Sacerdotal) says that Noah was to take one pair of each species; then in the passage that follows (Yahvist) it is stated that God ordered him to take seven males and seven females from each of the socalled 'pure' animal species, and a single pair from the 'impure' species. Further on, however, it is stated that Noah actually took one pair of each animal. Specialists, such as Father de Vaux, state that the passage in question is from an adaptation of the Yahvist description.
Rainwater is given as the agent of the Flood in one (Yahvist) passage, but in another (Sacerdotal), the Flood is given a double cause: rainwater and the waters of the Earth.
The Earth was submerged right up to and above the mountain peaks. All life perished. After one year, when the waters had receded, Noah emerged from the Ark that had come to rest on Mount Ararat.
One might add that the Flood lasted differing lengths of time according to the source used: forty days for the Yahvist version and one hundred and fifty in the Sacerdotal text.
The Yahvist version does not tell us when the event took place in Noah's life, but the Sacerdotal text tells us that he was six hundred years old. The latter also provides information in its genealogies that situates him in relation to Adam and Abraham. If we calculate according to the information contained in Genesis, Noah was born 1,056 years after Adam (see table of Abraham's Genealogy) and the Flood therefore took place 1,656 years after the creation of Adam. In relation to Abraham, Genesis places the Flood 292 years before the birth of this Patriarch.
According to Genesis, the Flood affected the whole of the human race and all living creatures created by God on the face of the Earth were destroyed. Humanity was then reconstituted by Noah's three sons and their wives so that when Abraham was born roughly three centuries later, he found a humanity that Was already re-formed into separate communities. How could this reconstruction have taken place in such a short time? This simple observation deprives the narration of all verisimilitude.
Furthermore, historical data show its incompatibility with modern knowledge. Abraham is placed in the period 1800-1850 B.C., and if the Flood took place, as Genesis suggests in its genealogies, roughly three centuries before Abraham, we would have to place him somewhere in the Twenty-first to Twenty-second century B.C. Modern historical knowledge confirms that at this period, civilizations had sprung up in several parts of the world; for their remains have been left to posterity.
In the case of Egypt for example, the remains correspond to the period preceding the Middle Kingdom (2,100 B.C.) at roughly the date of the First Intermediate Period before the Eleventh Dynasty. In Babylonia it is the Third Dynasty at Ur. We know for certain that there was no break in these civilizations, so that there could have been no destruction affecting the whole of humanity, as it appears in the Bible.
We cannot therefore consider that these three Biblical narrations provide man with an account of facts that correspond to the truth. We are obliged to admit that, objectively speaking, the texts which have come down to us do not represent the expression of reality. We may ask ourselves whether it is possible for God to have revealed anything other than the truth. It is difficult to entertain the idea that God taught to man ideas that were not only fictitious, but contradictory. We naturally arrive therefore at the hypothesis that distortions occurred that were made by man or that arose from traditions passed down from one generation to another by word of mouth, or from the texts of these traditions once they were written down. When one knows that a work such as Genesis was adapted at least twice over a period of not less than three centuries, it is hardly surprising to find improbabilities or descriptions that are incompatible with reality. This is because the progress made in human knowledge has enabled us to know, if not everything, enough at least about certain events to be able to judge the degree of compatibility between our knowledge and the ancient descriptions of them. There is nothing
more logical than to maintain this interpretation of Biblical errors which only implicates man himself. It is a great pity that the majority of commentators, both Jewish and Christian, do not hold with it. The arguments they use nevertheless deserve careful attention.

And Allah knows best.
