Wrong. The flood was a result of the bursting open of the fountains of the great deep. See the ruptures in the earths crust, such as the bottom of the oceans floors.

When the underwater caverns burst open, the water under extreme pressure shot very high. Some became comets, some hit mars, some of the crust hit the moon. The water falling back was the rain.

And the earth above did not collapse into the now empty caverns by their own weight? Not even with all that extra water?
I bet you don't see much sunshine in the place where you pulled this pearl of wisdom from?
And the moon just hit my eye like a big Pizza-pie too!
Do you believe everything some ignorant, batshit-crazy ergot chewing Bronze-age scam artist says? And then you have to go and elaborate on this fairy tale?
Read a real book.
Oh come on. At least the "vapor canopy," while extremely unlikely, was physically possible (although I still haven't heard a convincing explanation of why that much water suddenly would decide to condense and fall to earth). Fundies have just gotten lazy.
He doesn't seem to be much of a fundy, never mentioned God or anything. He mentions a world wide flood but then again lots of other religious non bible texts talks about world wide flood.
He's trying to use science, but it was a fail.
You really ... really, really, really have not the faintest fucking clue how geology or astronomy works, do you? Not even a vague conception of scale.
"When the underwater caverns burst open, the water under extreme pressure shot very high."
Ok is it just me or does this not sound almost pornographic?
I can almost imagine Earth's "water" hitting Mars in the face and Mars going "oh yeah baby, that's so gooooooddd!!!"
I am not a physics major, but I can't help but think that if the earth really did shoot water hard enough to reach Mars, the force would've knocked our planet out of orbit so hard we'd either spiral into the sun or freeze stone cold solid in the depths of space.
Right. Water and some of the earth's crust was forced from the earth with enough force to escape the earth's atmosphere. How did Noah, his family and menagerie survive this? A wooden ark would not be anything like sufficient protection, they would be boiled alive.
When the troll's appendix burst, it sent shock waves down his legs and since the earth is his kneecap, he got water-on-the-knee and rigor mortis bent him backwards, that's why the earth appears to be round.
The Bible doesn't support this crap either.
Book of Genesis: "7:19 And the water prevailed more and more upon the land, so that all the high hills everywhere under the sky were covered.
15 cubits = 22 to 25 feet. Hardly enough to hurl the Earth's crust at the Moon!
"the water under extreme pressure shot very high. Some became comets, some hit mars," Mars?!
So, you're claiming that this mythical supergeyser ejected water from the Earth with such force that it not only reached Escape Velocity, but got on an orbital trajectory that would intercept Mars?
And that this stream managed to stay intact enough so that it would hit Mars rather than arrive at Mars as a widely dissipated cloud of steam?
I don't think you know how fast Earth Escape Velocity is, sport....
Water pressure doesn't work that way.
And where did the water go? The caverns obviously collapsed, where did the water go after it flooded?
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
