Like i said, i dont know how the water vapor was kept aloft according to Genesis...
You've forgotten something. Consider the following question: Which is heavier, 1 tone of feather or 1 tone of brick?
The answer is they both weigh the same. If such a vapour canopy really existed, it would have crushed everything on Earth. 1 ton of liquid water weighs the same as 1 ton of water vapour. If there was enough water vapour above the Earth's surface so that when it liquified there was enough water to cover the whole Earth, nothing could have survived under such a tremendous pressure.

Let me get this straight.
You take the fact that the entire Earth is only covered by about three quarters in water, and see that as evidence that it can be covered completely?
Am I the only one not seeing the logic here?
Actually, I kinda understand why Peg would get this idea. Say you went to sleep one night and woke up the next morning discovering your backyard had turned into a pond over night. You'd conclude that it must have rained last night and that at some point the same water that was in the backyard pond was rushing through your front yard (which was a little higher) down to the back yard. So, technically, at one point your whole yard was flooded before the water settled to the back yard.
Haha, argue against that!

I think an exception to this would be if the vapor canopy were not actually resting upon the underlying layers. This would be the case if the vapor canopy were at orbital velocity...
The energy release would have been unimaginably higher than if the vapour canopy was resting on the atmosphere when it came pouring down on those poor souls.

Myself and several others have pointed this out many times now. Unfortunately, we keep getting ignored by people like Peg. Which weighs more: a ton of feather or a ton of brick?
