The entire thread is hilarious, but I particularly like "The water evaporated. Pay attention in school."
Dunning Kruger strikes again.

The 'Vapor Canopy' is Fundie retconning. The Biblical view is that the sky is a solid roof called 'firmament', because it's firm, solid as the lid of a saucepan. The solid roof nevertheless leaks, which is where rain comes from. The Bible refers to the 'water above the sky'
[Citation: Genesis 1:6 God said, 'There shall be a sky in the middle of the water, and it shall divide between water and water.'
1:7 God [thus] made the sky, and it separated the water below the sky from the water above the sky. It remained that way.]
Now that Fundies know there is no water above the sky, they came up with the idea of the vapor canopy which poured down water during Noah's Flood.
A good work-around. Except, of course, for the fact it would have fallen earlier, would have blocked out sunlight, and the heat of condensation would have burned up the Earth.
Oh- and the fact that according to Psalms, the waters above the Earth still remained after the flood.

Sorry, the Bible does mention women on the Boat- Noah's wife, and his three sons had their wives.
Still, the funniest thing of all comes from sunshine, who quotes the watchtower.
"#QUESITON: Did Noah put every animal in the Ark? No; a common misconcetion is that Noah put 2 of every animal into the ark. Noah was instructed to assemble, not every animal but two of every "kind" or family group. It has been estmated by some that the hundreds of thousands of species of animals today could be reduced to a comparatively few family groups or kinds. For example, a wolf, a dog and a fox are all essentially from the same family group. "
I love the 'super-evolution' disclosed here. Noah's two dogs became wolves and foxes as well as pekingese, poodles, Labradors, Sausage dogs etc. in 4,000 years, because they are all of the same 'Kind'.
Hilariously enough, the neo-Darwinian synthesis explains why poodles don't give birth to foxes, but their (revised) version of the Biblical account doesn't- after all, they ought to, they're all the same kind according to the Watchtower, and the bible says they 'give birth after their own kind'.
