Answer 1

Marshall, are you a sleestack?

Oh wow, these are 'good' answers. Do you people know that when water evaporates, it still exists somewhere?

Answer 2

The oceans did not exist before the flood as they do now. Therefore the waters became the oceans. Mountains weren't as high as they are now, the water pushed the mountains up and the oceans became deeper.

Since, as the Genesis account says, “all the tall mountains” were covered with water, where is all that water now? Evidently it is right here on the earth. It is believed that there was a time when the oceans were smaller and the continents were larger than they are now, as is evidenced by river channels extending far out under the oceans. It should also be noted that scientists have stated that mountains in the past were much lower than at present, and some mountains have even been pushed up from under the seas. As to the present situation, it is said that “there is ten times as much water by volume in the ocean as there is land above sea level. Dump all this land evenly into the sea, and water would cover the entire earth, one and one-half miles deep.” (National Geographic, January 1945, p. 105) So, after the floodwaters fell, but before the raising of mountains and the lowering of seabeds and before the buildup of polar ice caps, there was more than enough water to cover “all the tall mountains,” as the inspired record says.—Ge 7:19.

Answer 3

What is wrong with you. The flood is a wonderful myth. You are trying to ruin it by bringing up scientific details. You know that christians don't care about science, and therefore that such details just get in the way. Let it go, and just enjoy the beauty of the wonderous myth of the death of all mankind.

Answer 4

It could have evaported and/or been absorbed by the ground.

And/or, prior to the great flood, the world could have been covered by less water. As a result of the flood, the percentage went up to its present two-thirds.

Answer 5

I made the waters melt from the polar ice caps by warming the land. I made the waters gather again by refreezing them. Never again shall I cause this to happen. The next flood will be of blood.

Answer 6

It's the End of the World and the sky is falling.
