This guy: http://www.apologeticspress.org/modules.php?name=Read&cat=1&itemid=2658 says, "Plus, scientists believe our atmosphere holds well over 40 trillion gallons of water at any given time. Every single day of the year, approximately 4 trillion gallons fall to the Earth in the form of rain."

Can anyone verify?

Can't you get it round your head? Normal rain is no use to your theory in *any* quantity... it is oceanic precipitation.

B: Even if Correct, we don't have a Noachian flood everyday, so what is your point?

The people at that site are trying to pull the wool over your eyes by suggesting that 40 trillion gallons of water is a lot (they significantly don't compare this number with the requirement or even make any attempt to assess the requirement themselves); it is tiny and completely irrelevant in the context of the volume of water needed for the Noachian deluge. A single cubic mile of water is approximately a trillion gallons, all the water in the earth's atmosphere would come to 40 cubic miles (compared with the requirement for 1 billion cubic miles, give or take something depending on how much you are relying on God shoving the landscape about (something which is not mentioned or implied in the biblical account)). And unless you'd want Noah and his family and the livestock to die of rather dry throats or walk around with breathing masks most of that water (such as it is) had better remain in the atmosphere in any model that you propose.
