(In reference to the flood/Noah's Ark)
Where the water came from is easy. It rained. Duh! As to where the water went, have you heard of the frozen polar ice caps? Where did THAT water come from? Could it possibly be the water from the flood? Just a possibility.

Fixed.
In order for that claim to be true all land would have to be completely submerged. If the ice caps melted, the ocean would rise 200 feet or so...
It would certainly change coastlines but there is plenty of land above 200 feet above sea level.

That explains why the ocean levels are rising - It's raining too much!
And computer with bigger power supplies run out of electrons faster!
And I pee more liquid than I drink!
Also, if you walk 10 steps east and 10 steps west, you end up 1 step north of where you started!

"Where the water came from is easy. It rained. Duh!"
Have you ever tried to work out how hard it would have to rain to cover the tallest mountains by 20 feet in just 40 days? It's more that 200 inches of rainfall per hour!
"Just a possibility"? No, you moron, it's not. I'm quite surprised that you realized that rain is actually water, instead of something idiotic like God's crying or some other dumb fundy nonsense.
[Where the water came from is easy. It rained. Duh!]
OK. Where did the rainwater come from?
[As to where the water went, have you heard of the frozen polar ice caps? Where did THAT water come from? Could it possibly be the water from the flood? Just a possibility.]
Yes, I have heard of the polar ice caps...and no, it isn't a possibility.
Rain comes from the evaporation of water. So where did the water for the rain come from?
As for the polar ice caps, why wouldn't they have already existed before the flood?
Wait, what? If it just rained, as it normally does, that rain in and of itself could not possibly cause global flooding. Even AiG, one of the most deluded sources of Christian pseudo-science, agrees that the earth's atmosphere cannot possibly support enough clouds for that to happen.
In fact, most scientists know that mere rain could not possibly flood the entire earth, and that the polar ice caps are also not nearly big enough to flood the earth.
The fact that Rey continues to spout such drivel in the spite of evidence to the contrary, even from sources of misinformation that he probably generally agrees with, is testament to his stubborn stupidity.
Rained? For 40 days and 40 nights? ROFLMAO.
Mt. Everest = 29029 feet
29029 / 960 = 30.24 feet of rain per hour or 362.1 inches / per hour.
That is not rain.... That is hydraulic mining
If the ice caps were to melt, the figure I usually see is a rise in sea level of about 350 feet. It's enough to put Florida and New York City under water, but not enough to reach Lake Erie. Niagara Falls is about 100 feet shorter, but still a nice sight at the head of the tide. If all atmospheric water were to rais and snow out, it would average about two inches around the world, not a significant rise in sea level. Tropical rains can give 2-3 inches a day during the rainy seasin, sometimes much more. If we have a worldwide monsoon rain of 4 inches a day for 40 days (naot enough water, but just for the math), we would have 160 inches, or 13 feet of water on tof of our melted ice caps. We lose Florida and New York City, and keep Ohio and Detroit.
umm..the bible SPECIFICALLY says that the water covered the highest peak of the highest mountain world wide.
If you think it got frozen in the polar ice caps you are either just pulling shit out of your ass or you really dont believe the bible when it says "world wide flood"
I dont blame you, the flood story is absolute baloney and its not worth spending any time learning how to defend it.
... Am I missing an obvious logical deduction that explains why the earth wasn't flooded BEFORE the great flood, if all the water went to the ice caps after?
And I really would appreciate it if someone could tell me how a few feet of water from the melting of the ice caps could constitute a flood deep enough to kill pretty much everything, and cover the mountains.
Maybe I'm just not that good at this whole "logic" and "rational thought" thing.
Of course, something most christians never think of is, the water didn't (hypothetically) have to cover the entirety of the planet - all it had to cover is the world they knew (the Middle East, Egypt, and maybe a small piece of Europe). That would take significantly less, I would think.
*Where the water came from is easy. It rained. Duh!*
There isn't enough water on the planet to recreate the flood you moron. So where did the EXTRA water come from?
*Where did THAT water come from? Could it possibly be the water from the flood?*
Nope, it's not possible.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
