care to explain what happened to all of the energy released as heat from this water kept under the mantle at superheated temperatures?
If there were a canopy as per the Biblical historical record, it would have been created before living things and before the sun and moon were created in day four. The precise amount of heat would be applied to formation of it. Uniform world wide heat under the canopy would cause the vapor to rise higher than our present cooler atmosphere and the higher the atmospheric canopy rose, the less dense the vapor would become with the effect of lessening the heat below. How high and how dense is unknown as we have no model for it that I am aware of. Also the chemical makeup of the canopy is unknown which may have some bearing on the heat factor. The lush vegetation coupled with fewer & smaller oceans over the entire globe including the poles would also consume much CO2 and increase the O, perhaps supportive to the long life as recorded for the preflood era.
Btw, have you heard the recent news that an estimated one quarter of the earth's entire oil supply lies underneath Antarctica? Imo, that is supportive to the canopy hypothesis being the oil would be indicative of extensive vegetation and other life.
