In any case, there's a lot of fascinating scientific consistencies in that part of Scripture.

Well, except for the gravity part, of course. And the question of where all the water went.

The gravity part? Not sure I understand. You mean about why particles of water float in the sky? Hm. Not sure why clouds float.

Perhaps all the water went into the oceans. Perhaps with the flood, the tectonic plates shifted dramatically, spreading the continents apart and creating oceans.

Maybe the thing that caused the fossils in their various layers (and trees jutting through the layers, the thing that caused the continents to spread apart, the thing that turned the palm trees and mammoths into ice on the North Pole, seashells on tops of mountains, and people to live only 100 or so years was the flood? Not sure, but it does seem consistent with science and with Scripture.
