Helen needs it both ways. She wants the crew of the ark to witness flesh being burnt off bodies, plus be far enough away in order not to be affected themselves. First she says:
quote:
there are memories of people left behind being scalded by the hot waster. Memories are recorded that both the water that fell from above and the waters which exploded upwards burned the flesh off bodies and dissolved the land. Noah, his wife, or some member of the family on the Ark must have seen the beginnings of this horror.
Then later:
quote:
As a side note, it might be mentioned that when all of this is considered, Noah probably was not building his Ark near the coast, but inland, away from the geologically active areas that would later explode so devastatingly. There is no other way the Ark and its population could have survived the scalding, exploding waters.
I wonder how this would be explained?
