Try this:

* If all of Earth's water (oceans, icecaps and glaciers, lakes,
rivers, ground water, and water in the atmosphere was put into a
sphere, then the diameter of that water ball would be about 860
miles (about 1,385 kilometers) across, a bit more than the
distance between Salt Lake City, Utah to Topeka, Kansas. The
volume of all water would be about 332.5 million cubic miles (mi^3
), or 1,386 million cubic kilometers (km^3 ). The picture at the
top of this page illustrates this. A cubic mile of water equals
more than 1.1 trillion gallons. A cubic kilometer of water equals
about 264 billion gallons.
* About 3,100 mi^3 (12,900 km^3 ) of water, mostly in the form of
water vapor, is in the atmosphere at any one time. If it all fell
as precipitation at once, the Earth would be covered with only
about 1 inch of water.
* The 48 contiguous United States receives a total volume of about 4
mi^3 (17.7 km^3 ) of precipitation each day.
* Each day, 280 mi^3 (1,170 km^3 )of water evaporate
<http://ga.water.usgs.gov/edu/watercycleevaporation.html> or
transpire
<http://ga.water.usgs.gov/edu/watercycleevapotranspiration.html>
into the atmosphere.
* If all of the world's water was poured on the United States, it
would cover the land to a depth of 90 miles (145 kilometers).
* Of the freshwater on Earth, much more is stored in the ground than
is available in lakes
<http://ga.water.usgs.gov/edu/earthlakes.html> and rivers
<http://ga.water.usgs.gov/edu/earthrivers.html>. More than
2,000,000 mi^3 (8,400,000 km^3 )of freshwater is stored in the
Earth, most within one-half mile of the surface. But, if you
really want to find freshwater, the most is stored in the
7,000,000 mi^3 (29,200,000 km^3 ) of water found in glaciers and
icecaps <http://ga.water.usgs.gov/edu/earthglacier.html>, mainly
in the polar regions and in Greenland.

Well, at least you'll be able to use this for posters who don't think
there is that much water here for 'mountain covering'.

Whatever math you use, the water had to be in the atmosphere and get

If you define "canopy" as a cloud cover, then no.
If you mean a "canopy" which could have caused a flood, then all of
physics and most of Christianity deny such a thing.

Not only that but the bible does not mention a canopy and talks of water
above and below the firmament.
Fifty years ago some wacko decided the bible was wrong on this. He was
right and it is not possible.
Then he made up an explanation with no science to back him up.
People somewhat like you bought into it.

Yup. A canopy large enough to hold enough water to cover the Earth would
be too thick to allow light to penetrate to Earth's surface. Sort of
screws up photosynthesis. You know, the process by which grass grew for
Abel's sheep, and the process by which crops grew for Cain's farm. Long

Narrow-minded canopy you have there.

People have suggested a green-house effect as being the source of
superior plants and animals Pre-flood and that has been 'uncovered'.

Carbon amounts may have been completely different, pre-Flood....

You appear to think that Ye Floode included a massive, perhaps
world-wide, orogeny event. Yet that couldn't have happened without the
Earth heating enough to evaporate the waters of the Floode. Not to
mention, of course, that the rate of rainfall required by Ye Floode
would have in itself raised the temperature of the Earth by hundreds of
degrees Celsius.

But, strangely, the Bible does not mention Noah, his family, and all the
animals being par-boiled from the combined heat of the orogeny and the
rainfall. Why is that?

Nope. That's what your canopy would have done, had it existed. Yet the
Bible makes no mention of it. Why is that?

Define 'superior'. Define 'pre-flood'.

Carbon amounts may have been exactly the same, pre-Floode.

Well, the evaporation process was pretty self-evident. Wind is
mentioned. You mention heat. Now if the rain/evaporation process
started then, wouldn't that influence some of the heat when the
'canopy' made it's way back up?

Besides guesses and assertions there are many finds within geology,
topographys, oceanographys, and fossil finds that are quite poignant
and how they do confront what others say about what they found in
science community. IOW, you can't read very well, or don't want to.

If you can't respond to the issues of orogeny, heat of tectonic
movements and heat of rainfall, why not just say so?

That's pretty much the point. Either God miracled it all, and changed or
suspended laws of nature in the effort, or it never happened. It would
have, at a minimum, boiled everything to death. And beyond.

If you think the Floode was done by miracles, and the natural effects
that would have resulted if the story happened as written, then why are
you trying to harmonize the Floode story with scientific facts?

If you think the Flood was done by a process that didn't suspend natural
laws, then it didn't happen. Period.

I have no idea what you're trying to say here. Are you saying that there
are still questions in science? Well, duh. Of course there are.

Are you trying to say that there are some facts that confound scientists
and point to a great world-wide flood? I'd like to read something about
that.

I can, in fact, read pretty well. I've read a number of books of the
sort you have been telling us to read. Every one of them, in the places
where they claim to have facts that modern science can't explain, but
which facts are explained by 'creation scientists'--in every case,
further reading has shown that they are wrong in those claims. Every time.

If you've got better sources, name them. But so far, what you've
referenced savors too much of the above problem.

Not enough water, unless the land was essentially flat. If the land was
essentially flat, the orogeny since the flood would have melted the
surface of the planet.

Can't get over the boiling of everything?

No evidence that this applies to human beings. And lots of 'bigger'

How are you using the word 'theory'? It doesn't seem to be in the

withhold provisional assent'.

Yes, working in archaeology some time ago, I read quite a bit on the
issues of carbon dating and what affects 14C dating. It's a very
well-established science. If you would be willing to tell me some of the
'lot that is written' that you think calls the accuracy and precision of
14C dating into question, I'd be willing to address those issues. It's
not as though any of it is a secret--at least not on the science side.

The books relate many specific things on all sorts of dating methods,
some being able to show established history to counteract the
variances in the dating by radioactivy finds.

Because the heat of those two processes would have made life impossible

Which would have required a suspension of the laws of nature during the
Floode. It is really simple--but your side requires miracles, not science.

I have studied a very large number of such finds of the results of
catastrophes. None of them were world-wide; passing few covered more
than a few hundred square miles; and the temporal ranges seldom or never
overlap. You can't boot-strap any of those finds into a world-wide,
catastrophic Floode.

Nope. Your claim, your duty to supply supporting data. I've even said
I'd take your references for a spin, if I haven't already read them.

I have an open mind. If you have some stunning work that actually
provides a strong scientific support for Ye Floode, I'll read it if I
can find it for free (library, on-line, etc). I just don't have the
money to buy books--unless I can be stimulated to think I'll read
something worth investing my extremely limited funds.

Go to Amazon, Alibris, or your local college library. Check the
Talk.Origins.com web site. Google some actual scientists wrt the
impossibility of the Floode.

So you can't provide even one example out of that whole 'lot that is
written' to show a problem with 14C dating. And you now are extending
that inability to other radiometric dating methods.

Maybe you should look some up and tell me how that calls any sort of
radiometric dating into question. Hell, *I* know a fair bit about the
problems of radiometric dating; and I also know how many of them are
dealt with. And I also know something about the limitations of some
methods. Do you? I mean really know, not just take the word of
anti-science religious folks?

Who knows if it wasn't? It doesn't say that the waters above were

It happened. If it was in the recorded Bible, it happened. Science-
proofwise with oceanography, geography, fresh fossil finds,, are very
compelling. Witness accounts are plentiful. History is extremely
compelling of flood accounts that could never in light years be
attributed to local floods.

How smugly you repeat your ignorant nonsense. If you were not so proud
of your inability to learn any scientific facts, you would be
embarrassed by your silly claims.

The evidence (something you refuse to consider) shows that your claims
are false: Noah's Flood never happened. Preach your lies all you want,
but they will be nothing but lies ever.

No, because that's not what they think. They, and we, know that

But the evidence makes it clear that the evolution of climate on earth

about this fictional event.

The evidence shows that the flood described in the Bible did not happen.
You have been directed to places to learn about that, but you have

Since you seem to be ignorant of the subject:

----------------------------------------------------
http://www.dimensionsguide.com/earth-atmosphere-thickness/

"An exact measurement of the thickness of the Earth’s atmosphere is
difficult, but most scientists put it at 300 miles (480 km). There are
several layers and elements in the atmosphere, 80% of which are
confined to 11 miles (16 km) of the planet’s surface. "

In article <7932n7diup92s5hn8...@4ax.com>, Free Lunch says...
You are arguing with an abject idiot. The reason why he avoids your questions
is because he is an undereducated Jehovah's Witness. What little he knew about
the natural sciences went out the door when he started reading the Watchtower
literature.

The Jehovah's Witnesses believe everything that is written in the Bible. When
the Bible says the earth was flooded to the point of covering the highest
mountain, they literally believe it. They believe that eight people lived on a
boat filled with at least one pair of every "kind" of animal in the world, while
they floated about for a year, as all the other animals, including humans,
drowned.

According the the Jehovah's Witness dogma, this occurred about 4300 years ago.
So, every animal living today, including humans, descended from what was
floating in one boat built a little over 4000 years ago. To get around the
dilemma that there are millions of species of animals, the JWs use the word,
"kind." So, Noah only had to carry at a least a pair of every "kind" of animal.
If he took only one kind of lizard for example, then all the lizards that exist
today descended from that one pair that was on the Ark. Same as with dogs,
cats, etc. They don't discuss what happened to the plants which could not have
survived under water for a year.

So, according to Jehovah's Witness dogma, the ice ages could never have
happened, despite the indisputable evidence, because it never rained or snowed
on earth before the flood. And, of course, all archaeological and genetic
evidence goes out the window because it conflicts with their dogma. All
scientific dating systems, including dendrochronology must be wrong because it
disagrees with their dogma. Evolution, of course, is the invention of Satan.

Idea of what? What has been suggested is one paltry example of water

That's not even suggesting what the dimensions of the canopy, the
ingredients of the canopy; in relation to what potentially be in our

I already gave you some dimensions of a troposphere. You might want
to know what that is.

Amusing that your saying I am circumvating or refusing when you arent'

And yes, there are/is/was a canopy dimension suggested in one of the

Many books take on ice ages, where it shows the evidence of flood in
their samples. It also is quite amusing that estimates of ice ages
usually end in 100's of thousands of years which convolutes what their

flood as their fossils show that. And well the others fill up our

Because, as is common knowledge, fish don't die except in massive
floods.

I wasn't aware of that but I'll accept that to be the case.

There's a salt lake in California as well. It's called the Salton Sea,
and it is so salty that very few organisms can survive in it. The
surface of the lake is below sea level so the water can't drain
anywhere and the salts that enter the lake in fresh water streams
remain while the water evaporates, So the lake gets saltier and
saltier. "Hogwash!" you say? "The Flood!" you say?

From <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salton_Sea>:
"The creation of the Salton Sea of today started in 1905, when heavy
rainfall and snowmelt caused the Colorado River to swell, overrunning
a set of headgates for the Alamo Canal. The resulting flood poured
down the canal and breached an Imperial Valley dike, eroding two
watercourses, the New River in the west, and the Alamo River in the
east, each about 60 miles (97 km) long. Over a period of approximately
two years these two newly created rivers sporadically carried the
entire volume of the Colorado River into the Salton Sink."

The Salton Sea is a little more than 100 years old. It was originally
filled with fresh water. It is now saltier than seawater simply
because the salts carried into the lake in minute quantities by fresh
water aren't able to evaporate out like the water itself can.

How's that for specific?

And now to generalize. Any body of water into which fresh water flows,
but from which there is no outlet to the ocean, will eventually become
a salt lake. The Dead Sea's surface, like the Salton Sea, is below sea
level. The Great Salt Lake in Utah has no outlet to the ocean. The
Caspian Sea has no outlet to the ocean. Lake Van in Turkey has no
outlet to the ocean. If Mount Ararat has a salt lake on it, so what?

By the way, I can find no reference to a salt lake on Ararat. If you
have a reference to that, I'd like to see it. Lake Van is often
identified on the same web page as Mt Ararat, but they're separated by
about 60 miles or so.

It's a sign of the last days...that there would be earthquakes in
diverse places...all over the earth. Now, a massive flood could have
set the earth off in many cases. Some have said the axis was set off
3 degrees and has taken centuries to try to right itself. A huge
amount of natural effects could have come from the flood, like lots of
ice, winds, inclimatic weather..as well as earthquakes. But the the
true worshiper and adherent of the Bible, we can rest assure that when
God says he will make all things new, we can trust it...for our "new
earth."

Absolutely none at all.

>a. Fossils of sea creatures high above sea level do to oceanic waters

False. The fossil locations are a result of uplift.

>b. Rapid burial of plants and animals.

False. In various localized events that occurred at different times. No
such event occurred globally.

>c. Rapidly deposted sediment layers spread across vast areas.

False. You are again conflating evidence for local events that happened
over a millions of years with your false doctrine of a single event.

>d. Sediment transported long distances.

False. Again, all evidence about sediment moving varies by millions of
years from location to location.

>e. Rapid or no erosion between strata.

False. Erosion happens at differing rates consistent with the scientific
models. There is no evidence for any world-wide erosion that fits your
false doctrine.

>f. Many strata laid down in rapid succession.

False. Geologically rapid is nothing remotely like the error-filled
doctrine that Noah's Flood happened.

>g. Catastrophic breakup up of land into continents.

False. Let's start with the fact that this breakup came long before
people.

>Now, I know it's a little too much for you, but even you can read

I have read enough lies from religious frauds like that. Ken Ham and his

type of fossilization.

The geologic record has no such record of this event.

The land was not a solid mass in the beginning. The well known break-up
of the continents occurred after they had joined together, not because
it was one solid mass. As it was, you can see the individual continents
when they were joined as Pangaea. Actually there have been several
continental splits in the history of the earth.

You are lying. There is no "science from the global flood". That is just
some lies put together by people intent on misleading believers into
giving them more money so they can defraud the next batch of believers.
You have absolutely no supporting scientific evidence and huge amounts
of evidence that show that Noah's Flood never happened.
