seriously?!?!?
Maybe you can ask one of you more intelligent peers to explain this to you, if you don't want to take my word for it.. but if this did happen then the water would push the atmosphere up with it. So what you count now 30K feet, is 30,000 feet from is sea level. Now add enough water to encompass the earth to what we now call 30,000 ft, and... it becomes the new SEA LEVEL! so the new 30K feet would be what we call 60K feet. So what would the conditions at the new sea level/30k feet? the same as they are now at our current sea level.
We do not measure altitude from the lowest part of the sea floor. Otherwise we at sea level would be 7 miles up.
I kills me when a poo poo-er doesn't understand the fundamentals he is trying to use to discredit God. This person/you heard this somewhere and just lemming-ed it here with out any thought or vetting. You just assumed it was true because that is what someone else in the group said... Good thing you weren't born when the earth was flat huh???
If the atmosphere wasn't growing outwards as the earth filled with water, air pressure would start to drop.
This is due to a combination of factors, as gravity increases air gets heavier, but since that air is spread out over a larger area the overall effect would have been decreasing air pressure, and we all know what low pressure can do right?
Asked and already answered.. As stated previously I ask what makes you think the air pressure and content was then as it is now? Let's say the air was just thick enough to allow for such expansion, but still allowing for the net result the bible describes; hypoxia, which could be used to described why the animals slept.
