It changes the biblical narrative to basically Gaia worship. The reason for the flood was not debauchery and sin, but exploitation of the earth. Then there are these weird beings that protect the ark. It clearly is meant as a dig at Judeo-Christian belief in the flood.
tap that water too much and the water table goes down.
that’s happening all over the world

And if the waters were to burst forth, what would replace its volume in the mantle?

Nothing. In that case, with the sudden creation of voids in the Earth’s mantle rock, the pressure in the interior would burst forth and likely create a molten Earth - all life would be extinguished, of course.
Where’s the image of the guy with a bloody sole from?

I believe the continental plates shifted cataclysmicly sliding and riding onto one another thus creating the mountains we have today. Pretty much the same thing the secularist believe but they believe in millions and billions of years... I believe it was very rapid. The land would have subsided or sunk and the some water would have stayed in top forming the oceans.
Thanks. Rave reviews up thread...

The problem with Ken Ham is that he spends all his time debating and speaking, and very little time researching. So he does not have the pedigreed authority that a researcher like Stephen Myers would have.
Thanks.

I say we build a tall tower so the flood waters won’t get us.
However, I think a careful reading of the text indicates the author did not actually think that the flood covered the entire globe.
For example, note the following verses from Genesis 8:
5 The waters continued to recede until the tenth month, and on the first day of the tenth month the tops of the mountains became visible.
... 9 But the dove could find nowhere to perch because there was water over all the surface of the earth....
Seems a careful reading forces one to take "over all the surface of the earth" to at least not include the mountain tops in verse 5.
As I understand it the same Hebrew phrase for the whole surface of the Earth is used elsewhere in the Noah story for anything translated like the surface of the whole Earth. So I have to take it as an idiom for something like "pretty much everywhere". Certainly Noah would not have been able to sail the entire globe and verify Australia and Antarctica etc were covered.
I’m 5 miles from the Gulf of Mexico, and less than a half mile from the Choctawhatchee Bay......................
