Noah's Flood Came Down. It's Goin Back Up!!

Buz,Not that I'm ruling out the possibility that Global Warming is a reality, but since that's a basis for your premise, I thought you might find the following information of interest, pulled from NASA's website:Global temperatures have been monitored by satellite since 1979 with the Microwave Sounding Units (MSU) flying on the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's (NOAA) TIROS-N series of polar-orbiting weather satellites. Data from nine separate satellites have been combined to provide a global record of temperature fluctuations in the lower troposphere (the lowest 5 miles of the atmosphere) and the lower stratosphere (covering an altitude range of about 9-12 miles). The global image above shows monthly-averaged temperature anomalies (departure from seasonal normals), while the graph shows point or area-averaged anomalies for the entire period of record (since January 1979).The lower tropospheric data are often cited as evidence against global warming, because they have as yet failed to show any warming trend when averaged over the entire Earth. The lower stratospheric data show a significant cooling trend, which is consistent with ozone depletion. In addition to the recent cooling, large temporary warming perturbations may be seen in the data due to two major volcanic eruptions: El Chichon in March 1982, and Mt. Pinatubo in June 1991.So, I'm not sure you can cite global warming as a definitely observed phenomenon at this point.

Buz,Just had some questions about this point from your original post:

2. The atmosphere was thick and high before the flood and provided a perfect climate for then relatively smooth planet earth which had small oceans and likely about 70% of the planet's surface continent.

a. Can you show me your source for asserting that the atmosphere was thick and high before the flood?
b. Could you tell me approximately how high? or how thick?
c. Can you tell me what the relative smoothness was of the planet earth in that time?
d. Can you show me the basis for claiming that the earth had small oceans and likely about 70% of the planet's surface as continent?
e. Can you also tell me what time, like how many years ago, this was?Thanks,
Geno

Buz, in response to your reply: 1. I had a hard time understanding what you were trying to say here. Do you believe that this planet existed "hundreds of millions to billions of years ago"? If so, do you think this was when the flood occurred? If not, when?2. I've also checked all of the sources you've posted on this thread (all 16 pages)--none of them answer even one of my questions concerning your conditions as posited in post number 1 of this thread [except perhaps question 5 as indicated above]. I can include all your source linkings, but for the sake of space, I will summarize that they either related to current weather [forest fires] or weather definitions [barometric pressure, etc].3. Here are the questions I have concerning your initial conditions, which I would really appreciate an answer to:a. Can you show me your source for asserting that the atmosphere was thick and high before the flood?
b. Could you tell me approximately how high? or how thick?
c. Can you tell me what the relative smoothness was of the planet earth in that time?
d. Can you show me the basis for claiming that the earth had small oceans and likely about 70% of the planet's surface as continent?
e. Can you also tell me what time, like how many years ago, this was?Thanks,
