What proof do you have that forty days and forty nights of rain would produce the interpretation of the Bible you espouse? (I say proof because he keeps asking us to prove stuff)
How come you keep citing the laws of Physics, when you obviously don't know what they are? Things that make you go Hmmmmmmm...
I don't. I never claimed the Bible to be provable in a scientific sense. But as for asserting some agreement between the Bible and science WRT forty days and forty nights of torrential rains, it would be much easier to set up a microcosmic test based on a historic record than it would be to set up test based on periods of time that have never been observed or recorded but only imagined.
I have not been "citing" the laws of physics. I've been asserting that I believe whatever laws of physics are in existence today were applying themselves throughout recorded history. Is is alright with you if I use words in a general sense, or do we have to break out encyclopediea and dictionaries for each word and concept? Or do you think the laws of physics would cease applying themselves if I did not know how to enumerate and cite them all? Give me a break.
To cover Everest @ 19357 cubits with rainwater would require a rainfall rate of about 20 cubits/hour, unless of course, one doesn't trust the laws of physics continue to perform as God established them from the beginning.
