The polar ice caps were a post flood event and did not exist before the flood. Many creationists do invoke the polar ice but others don't.
Also it is true that the ice melt would not alone account for the water needed. However if one included groundwater and rainwater (at the time) I think even with what is known now the water is there. Anyways accounting for the water is a very off broadway thing for creationists.

What are you talking about. i gave a answer and you use the opputunity to just make a gereral denunciation against the time honoured belief of Christianity. This was a particular subject as a part of a discussion between evolution and creation open to the public.
I follow the rules and cause of the forum so why not you. Unless your out of your league then make a point a creationist can answer. If I answered you in kind I would be said to be off thread and repeating myself.
Nothing personal Rob

Actually it was a surprise to me to learn that if the ground water of earth was on top it would flood the earth to a significent depth. This plus the melted polar ice caps and the rain and that the envirorment back then was different since it had never rained all make it very plausible to stop any serious criticism of a water shortage problem.
Also it must be remembered the Bible is a witness. Someone must first cross examine that witness and show unreliability before discounting the witness.

You didn't sum it. I don't know how much would be needed to cover the earth. I will look for the ground water quote in my notes. Also it must be remembered that the mountains of today are not the mountains of pre-flood world. Of coarse both parties use the fossils on top of mountains info. It can be assumed the mountains whatever their makeup were low ones.
