As I’ve written before here, there is perhaps 5 times more water within the earth’s mantle than in all the oceans on the surface. That is PLENTY of water to flood the highest mountain, should it for some reason erupt to the surface for a season.

No, it takes more than 5 times, somewhere between 10 and 30 times, depending upon what you call "sea level" (10 times being for all ice already melted, 30 times if there are ice sheets as we already see).

Couldn't God just send some more water over to the earth from somewhere else or just snapped his fingers and made some more water and then made it disappear? After all, if he changed the rates of isotopic decay and the speed of light ...
