To reach top of mount everest, there would need to be an additional 5 miles of water covering 100% of the global.
In other words, the so called Noah's flood would need approximate 4 times more water than currently existent on the surface of the earth, which would then have to disappear again.
For the volume of water today I went with the accepted volume of 1.338 x 10^9 km^3
Ohh crap. I'm a douche. I forgot to divide the diameter of the Earth by 2. This means that the actual volume of water from sea level to the peak of Mt. Everest is 3.53 x 10^5 km^3 making the percentage 0.026%
I don't understand why there has to be an additional 5 miles covering the whole Earth?
