if noahs flood covered the globe,covered all the high mountains...?

Question

where did the water pour out to?

Answer 1

There are flood stories in every ancient world religion and much evidence to support the fact that it did happen.
The two most common and revealing accounts of how it happened, at first seem to contradict each other.
One says that the the heavens opened, and the other that the sea rose and descended upon the earth.
The great salt lake at utah has a chemical composition similar to that of the oceans, Lakes van and urmia near to mount ararat where the ark is said to have landed, are 1,670 metres and 1,250 metres above sea level, and unbelievably, are both salt lakes. Even higher at 2,150 metres in the mountains south of van, there are still sand beaches.

In the low lying lands to the east of mount ararat lies the caspian sea, the largest land locked body of water on the planet. It is also a salt water lake, containing salmon, sturgeon and herring as well as other marine animals such as porpoises and seals. How did salt and large sea mammals get there?

Such anomalies can be found throughout the world.

The answer is that in 7640BC this planet was hit by seven comets. Computer simulations have shown that where some of these comets hit the seas, the result would have been a worldwide flood.

The bible stories give only brief accounts of this flood, but many other ancient texts survive with much greater detail.
These texts, along with the bible texts, were originally passed down verbally through the generations, but form a large part of all the knowledge that remains of mans real history on this planet.
The accounts vary due to location. Anyone living near the sea would observe the waters rising, further inland you would only see it falling.

Answer 2

There is a nice theory. Rather than the water being deep enough to cover the mountains, God could have lowered all the mountains and raised the beds of all the seas. That being the case the water may only have been 4 or 5 metres deep. Then reversed the situation after. Silly? think about it. The amount of water needed to cover all the mountains brings about an impossible storage problem before and after the flood.

Answer 3

Or where did the Hydrogen to make the flood waters come from? (there is not enough hydrogen to create that much water present on this planet).

How did Noah collect the thousands of species all over the globe and return them?

Why didn't the intense pressure destroy all plants and seeds, not to mention drowning them?

Why is there no evidence for a global flood?

Why would god forget Noah?

Answer 4

The water is here on earth in the oceans.

If the land mass of earth was leveled out (mountains filling in mountain trenches) then the whole globe would be covered in water to a depth of 1.7 miles!

The topography we see today came about after the flood.

Excellent article here which goes into loads of detail

Answer 5

The book of Genesis does not provide a blueprint for creation. This is why evolutionists hate it for its discrepancies, and why creationists have to formulate elaborate justifications in its defence. Unfortunately, it is a much more complicated work of scripture than either gives it credit for; It was inspired by the Holy Spirit, but it is not the unerring word of God.

What it is, I believe, is the story of man's developing relationship with God, and as written from man's perspective. One aspect of this relationship is the attempt to explain a devastating, but localized flood, that occurred in the Middle East, a long time ago in prehistory. Many cultures from the region retained a folk memory of the event, and the Hebrews were one such culture.

What makes the Genesis account so powerful, and so much more compelling than other scriptures from similar cultures, is the emphasis it places on man's moral choices. In other cultures at the time, a human sacrifice would have been made and the gods would have been appeased. In Judaism, and by extension Christianity, God is only appeased by individuals taking moral responsibility for their own actions. A much more enlightened view - in my humble opinion.

Answer 6

in response to the mad fanatics above,how could there be more water on earth now than before the fflood? wouldn't that water have to have come from somewhere? the whole story is just a LOT OF NONSENSE! The fact that all the many thousands of species on earth had representatives on board a ship is just childish drivel and the figment of the imagination of a bunch of desert dwellers who never seen any animals apart from goats and other nomad friendly farm animals.
mind you the some of the religious loonies here are proof that some populations are indeed horrifically inbred!!

Answer 7

The only logical answer to any question about the great flood is: "God did it"
never mind that they would have froze to death at the altitudes needed to cover the Himalayas, or that the offspring of the one pair of animals would have been horribly inbred.

Answer 8

You could find out where the waters of the deep came from and also about the canopy of water round the earth in the beginning. These things may explain some of your questions.

Answer 9

In the Bible God says the waters receded.....God dried them up!
This is not hard to understand- remember the powerful hand of God. NOTHING is impossible with God.
Genesis 8:1
But God remembered Noah and all the wild animals and the livestock that were with him in the ark, and he sent a wind over the earth, and the waters receded.

Answer 10

I guess eventually it would dry up or go back into the soil where possible. The normal water cycle probably came into play
