Re: This is old.

This is a local flood caused by the rising sea level breaching into what was a low lying freshwater lake.
Perhaps this breaching is what is referred to in this bible
In the six hundredth year of Noah's life, in the second month, the seventeenth day of the month, the same day were all the fountains of the great deep broken up, and the windows of heaven were opened.
The fountains of the deep could be an apt description of such a breech me thinks.If it were to occur at the same time as ,say, the rainfall of springtime, it is not too far a stretch to imagine a story such as Noah's flood being put together by survivors of the event.

Re: Canopy

The vapour canopy theory is that the Earth’s atmosphere was surrounded by a water vapour blanket that collapsed at the onset of the Flood.
Water vapour can only exist in the atmosphere as a result of the evaporation of water which requires a measureable amount of heat energy in order to accomplish such. The measurement is specifically 2260 kilojoules per kilogram. Since this immense vapour canopy exists in the atmosphere at the time frame of Noah and is purported to have fallen to the earth as a rainfall that is recorded in the bible we can calculate just how much heat energy must be released into the atmosphere in order for the vapour canopy to "freeze" back to the liquid state that constitutes rainfall Buz old boy.
Now if you can find some explanation of the volume that the vapour canopy occupied we can give you precise figures to help you see what the consequences of this idea involve.
To make it easy you can even go and find a figure in pounds and not kilograms. I await your response.

"The world is so exquisite, with so much love and moral depth, that there is no reason to deceive ourselves with pretty stories for which there's little good evidence. Far better, it seems to me, in our vulnerability, is to look Death in the eye and to be grateful every day for the brief but magnificent opportunity that life provides." - Carl Sagan, Billions and Billions

Re: Canopy

Not if it was created intact in such a manner that the conditions were just right for it to remain there until the flood when some change occured to change it
It does not matter that it be created intact. When it falls as rain it still must release heat in order to become rain. However since you brought it up it remains your problem to solve as to how such conditions came to occur.
