In the six hundredth year of Noah's life, on the seventeenth day of the second month-on that day all the springs of the great deep burst forth, and the floodgates of the heavens were opened. 12 And rain fell on the earth forty days and forty nights.

I know I am going to get hit from all sides on this but I believe the waters came from heaven, not the atmoshpere, not some layer of water in orbit, but heaven. Really and symbolically the water from heaven was needed to wash away the sin in the world so that God could start over. This was necessary because God cursed the ground when Adam and Eve sinned.

How come it doesn't happen every 500yrs or so, are we today, or through history, less sinful than Adam&Eve were?
