the magma exists after the world wide flood?
We know all the water did not evaporate off the earth, because the atmospheric pressure would crush Noah, his family, and all the animals from the black tailed jack rabbit to the coatimundi. So the water had to seep into the earth.
Wouldn't all those gallons and tons and megatons of water seep right through the earth's crust and cool off the magma? It's only about 50 miles MAX to the mantle, even with all that sloshing around that occured during the flood.

To the young lady who knows so much about global warming.
If all of the ice on earth melted, including the ice in your freezer there wouldn't be enough to flood the earth.

No, the water didn't "seep" into the Earth. It's out in the oceans right now. There's enough water out there to Flood the Earth again 2 miles deep everywhere. So why doesn't it? The Earth's mantle is made up of thin crust and thick crust. Underneath the bedrock there used to be vast chambers of water. During the Flood, the "fountains of the deep" broke open and flooded the surface. At the same time, there was a 7th layer of ice or water above the atmosphere that came crashing down in the form of rain. So water was coming up from below and down from above. The weight of all this water caused the thin parts of the crust to sink down and form ocean basins, and this caused the thrusting of faults and the formation of large mountain ranges on the thick parts of the crust. Normal geological processes have occurred since then. Today, if we were to raise up the ocean basins and push down the mountains, the Earth would once again be flooded worldwide, 2 miles deep. Also, some of the water from the Flood is frozen in the form of ice at the poles.

The Bible talks about the mountains rising and the earth under the water aswying (in am not sure of the spelling, but it means lowering under the weight).
The earth was smoother before the flood, after there is more low places for the water to collect.
Also it is thought that may be not all the earth was underwater at one time, but that the water would have been sloshing back and forth (that is why there is so much coal along the Appalachian Mountains for example, the waters would have washed the vegetation there like it does on the sea shore).
Also most of the water came from under ground and not from the ice shield. But because the under ground water was (and in many places is) so hot, and the ice shield falling mostly on the poles was so cold (-300 F) it created great storms (today most storms only have 10 to 20 F difference in air temperature, then it was over 400 F difference!!!

Well, its believed by most scholars that the flood of Noah was not world wide, but rather came upon the world of the ungodly - meaning only came to the area as required to kill off the influx of nephillim that were there. These were angelic beings who you can read of in the Book of Jude (the only chapter). They left their habitations and came to earth and seduced and married human women, had babies - who were called geba, or nephillim - translated means "giants". This was satans second attempt at polluting the pure bloodline, because through Noah, down thru the generations womb-to-womb would come the Christ child.
These beings were trying to get noahs female family members to participate, but Noah was a preacher who preached day and night against them. Thats why Noah was chosen to do the Ark thing.
But a question just for the heck of it: Don't you think that a God who is able to cause it to flood in the first place, also has the ability to handle the water damages??

Wow. I read through the answers. It's amazing to see how much research is done to defend a religion/philosophy that's flawed from the beginning-sounds like some of these people are the same that say about the creation story-'a day could be a thousand years...' (sigh)

You seem to dis-count the supernatural.
As God caused the Flood supernaturally to flood the earth, he can also prevent the water from cooling the earth's magma core.
God is in control.
accept it.

If global warming continues to melt the polar ice caps, you'll soon find out where "all the water went."
