That's exactly right. The rock is too dense and has too few pores as a result to hold much, if any water. Even water that is chemcially bound in the minerals gets squeezed out at depth. The simple facxt is that the flood myth is just that, a myth, and was likely ythe result of the fact that civilizations have always concentrated along river valleys and seashores where, big surprise, it often floods.

"In short, Meyer has shown that his first disastrous book was not a fluke: he is capable of going into any field in which he has no training or research experience and botching it just as badly as he did molecular biology. As I've written before, if you are a complete amateur and don't understand a subject, don't demonstrate the Dunning-Kruger effect by writing a book about it and proving your ignorance to everyone else!
