From Noah's Ark story.

If we were to melt all the ice in the world, sea levels might rise as much as 300 feet. Everest's summit is more than 5 miles higher than that. Given the radius of the Earth is 4,000 miles, The volume of missing water exceeds 1,000,000,000 cubic miles. The mass of that water is 9.17 x 10^21 pounds or 4.17 x 10^21 kg, just sky of one tenth the mass of the Moon. I'm curious where that much mass went.
For those who want to challenge my numbers, I used a low estimate.

The same place water goes when it rains and it's been raining off and on for thousands of years.
BTW, archaeologists all around the world have proven the Great Flood happened.
Regardless of beliefs, the Bible still has historical value.

Here on earth and part of our oceans. The mountains before the flood were not as tall as they are now. The water pressure moved them up to the heights they now enjoy.
