The Noah's Ark one was interesting, but I am still not sure that interpretation is consistent with what I have read. Yes, we may be putting our "world view" into it, but when it says all life was destroyed on the earth. What am I supposed to think? And I believe that there is evidence of a worldwide flood, particularly the Grand Canyon. And when Julie talked about the land bridge that scientists have discovered existed (how they discovered it i don't know) that broke and let all the water into the lower sea and caused regional flooding, that actually lends itself to the flood very well because the land bridge would have broken or been destroyed by the deluge, except that I don't think that it would have caused a deep enough flood to cover as much of the earth as Noah would have seen all by itself. And it took half a year for the water to begin to recede. That is a long time. Not to mention flood stories that appear in histories of many peoples across the globe that would have descended from Noah had everyone on earth been killed except his family. But I really didn't want to get into a discussion of all that, I was just sharing my calculations according to the translation I read. I was just trying to see how fast the water would have risen if the earth was flooded with the current sea level in forty days...that's all.

Welcome to the YY forum Rumpahpumpumpum,

Would you happen to play drums? I play drums occasionaly now as a hobby.
...
I am a poor boy too, pa rum pum pum pum
I have no gift to bring, pa rum pum pum pum
That's fit to give the King, pa rum pum pum pum,
rum pum pum pum, rum pum pum pum,
Shall I play for you, pa rum pum pum pum,
On my drum?
...
I played my drum for Him, pa rum pum pum pum
I played my best for Him, pa rum pum pum pum,
rum pum pum pum, rum pum pum pum,

Then He smiled at me, pa rum pum pum pum
Me and my drum.

Another problem I see with the Global Flood is that with Mt. Everest being 29,035 feet (8,850 m) above sea level, it would have to rain on the entire globe an average of about 6 inches (15.2 cm) per minute for 40 days and 40 nights. The recorded world record for rainfall in one minute is 1.5 inches (3.8 cm) - -and it occurred at one remote location, not globally, and only for that one minute, not at a constant rate for an extended period of time. According to Genesis 7:20, all the earth was covered by 15 cubits which would equate to about 25 feet (7.6 m). So, with Mt. Everest being the highest point in the world, that would equate to 29,060 feet (8,860 m) of water above sea level. Anyone familiar with SCUBA diving knows that ocean water pressure at 33 feet (10 m) equals one atmosphere of air on earth. Fresh water is 34 feet per atmosphere, so we're not talking about a big difference either way. At 33 feet of water per atmosphere, if we are under 29,060 feet (8,860 m) of water in the form of vapor in the air before the rain began, this would equate to air pressure at the earth's surface of approximately 12,775 psi as compared to the actual earth surface air pressure of a mere 14.5 psi. (29,060 divided by 33 equals about 881. 14.5 psi times 881 equals about 12,775 psi.) It would be impossible for anything to live under these conditions in that not only would the air pressure be too great, but as a result of such intense pressure, the ambient temperature at the earth's surface would be unbearably hot. And we're not talking triple digits hot; we're probably talking quintuple digits hot. Anyone with an elementary level of knowledge in physics knows that as a gas expands under reduced pressure, its temperature decreases, and as a gas contracts under increased pressure, its temperature increases. This is the primary reason why air at the earth's surface at higher elevations is generally cooler than that of lower elevations at the same latitude.
