The Flood = many coincidences

1. Unless the earth was relatively smooth before the flood and the tectonic activity from the flood due to irregularities in the earth crust, (abe: volcanic activity) etc created the mountains.2. Unless there was enough vapor in a vapor canopy over the earth to supply enough water to cover the relatively small mountains which were on the relatively smooth surface of the pre-flood earth.There were likely pre flood mountains but obviously not nearly as high as they became post flood. The sea fossils in modern hight mountains attest to that.I believe the observed tectonic activity can be interpreted to support the above possibility as an alternative to the mainline science model.

Uncontested Science Fact #1: The mountains were at some period, formed by some means which requires that at some period the surface of planet earth was smoother than is observed today.Uncontested Science Fact #2: There was a time of significant flooding on the planet.Logical Conclusion: If the planet's surface was smoother/less mountainous, the volume of water observed in the deep oceans would be such that far more, if not all of the smoother planet would have been flooded unless a significantly greater volume of water was in the form of atmospheric vapor than is observed today.

Thanks, Granny, for weighing in here.No, that is not my position. My position is that the first oceans were less in volume and not as deep. Before the flood there was likely more like 70% of the earth surface continent and 30% ocean. The total surface was smoother having mountains and valleys, but lower mountains. Where was all of the water? It was both sub terrain and in a greenhouse canopy consisting of the atmosphere, etc above the earth.(AdminNosy and others: I've said the above to clarify my position and not to add further to my arguments for that position.)Before I proceed I need to put forward questions regarding the age of the oceans which arose in my reading on this topic at a .
USGS site by Annenberg/CPB Resources.Can someone here address these questions raised by Annenberg Resources? I see there has been some discussion about the age of the oceans up thread but nothing said about previous to 200 million years ago, unless I missed that.

I'm done with this thread so long as I am not allowed to debate my position which is the Biblical creationist position ascribed to by the minority constituency.

With all due respect for your authority, AdminNosy, you are debating against the prominent creationist POV as an admin.1. To my knowledge, the answer to where all of the water was before 200 million years ago has not been addressed.2. The hypothesis of the greenhouse canopy has not been empirically falsified by the majority POV. I well remember those debates and a lot of questions which nobody but nobody can empirically answer remain unproven.

I'm out of this thread. It's not worth the fuss. Perhaps someone will address the couple of evidence related questions in the short and simple link cited, and where all of the water was before the high mountains were created, including the submerged ones and before the deep oceans existed over 70 per cent of the earth as observed today.

Rrhain, to clarify my position/model, it was that if the oceans were not deep before the flood and the mountains were not high before the flood (including the submerged ones, even the present amount of water in the oceans would cover more if not all of the surface of the earth. Some of the present ocean water would have been either sub terrain or as vapor as per the Biblical model.Again, this is to clarify my position which has not been addressed by Rrhain who apparently does not regard the depth of the water in his dish model as relevant to my model. It is not to further debate what I regard as the Biblical hypothesis.
