Hey Squirrel! Long time no throw a nut to!
And yes, it did. But things were different then. People lived to be 900, sex with siblings was ok and mass was different. E=MC2 happened AFTER Jesus. (duh!)

No - most of the water is recorded as having come from "the great fountains of the deep." If that is the case, then that water HAD to be part of the Earth's original mass, so it must be part of the present mass. People often wonder where all that water went, and it seems to me fairly straight forward: the present day oceans.
If God thrust up new mountain ranges, or caused the existing ones to be a bit taller and pushed down the ocean floor a bit, there would be plenty of room to contain all the water.
Since it is absolutely apparent that conservation of matter is an observable, repeatable founding principle of this creation, then the water MUST be accounted for.

Most of the water was underground, the Bible says that the fountains of the deep were broken up.
Also the water in the ice shied was a part of the earth that God separated in the 6 days of creation, the Bible says that He separated the water above from the water beneath.
Some people believe that God used an asteroid swarm or comet to brake the ice shield, and this would have added a little mass to the earth. Other parts of the comet pelted the moon and other planets, leaving craters behind.

If you take the story literally it would take 4 miles of water to cover the entire world. Luckily we don't take the story literally. God teaches in parables.
