Here is how the flood is described in Genesis 7:11, "In the six hundredth year of Noah's life, in the second month, on the seventeenth day of the month, on that day all the fountains of the great deep burst forth, and the windows of the heavens were opened." Apparently there was some sort of geological upheaval that brought forth water that was formerly under the earth and the final result of this was that the continents rose to their present height.
Quote:I often ask why, if their fucking god can to "anything" that he couldn't design the world properly the first time? They invent all sorts of shit to answer that one, too.He did design the world properly but one of the results of Adam's sin was that it became imperfect. You can read all about it in the third chapter of Genesis.
His invisible attributes, namely, his eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly perceived, ever since the creation of the world, in the things that have been made. So they are without excuse.
