Norman and Drich, in addition to the new version of the bible that I am selling at cost (see my post), I will soon be selling a "bullshitometer" that promises to end lengthy posts such as this. It has been calibrated to measure with precision, inflationary rhetoric, unfounded claims to truth, belief systems, and judgmental language. Results are instantly viewable on a 5" X 7" retina display that comes incorporated into the unit. Please circle your response below... 1. Fuck you daver!! 2. Get lost, moron. 3. Tell me more! 4.

Because even if the waters rose above Everest, noah on said water would still be at sea level as far as atmospheric conditions are concerned.  RE: Fish must be very holy

 hock: You apparently know nothing of science.
You make people miserable and there's nothing they can do about it, just like god.
-- Homer Simpson God has no place within these walls, just as facts have no place within organized religion. -- Superintendent Chalmers Science is like a blabbermouth who ruins a movie by telling you how it ends. There are some things we don't want to know. Important things. -- Ned Flanders Once something's been approved by the government, it's no longer immoral. -- The Rev Lovejoy 
Drich, do you mind enlightening us as to what the unit of measurement has to do with the plausibility of the flood story?
Still don't see how the unit of measurement has anything to do with it.
And don't forget that god intended to kill every living thing, Drich. Flooding the Earth just enough to cover the hills would not accomplish that, as there still would be dry land to take shelter. See the problem?  RE: Fish must be very holy

It wouldn't matter, drich. Atmospheric pressure (from your link) is defined as the weight of air from sea level to the top of the atmosphere. As water level increases, the atmosphere doesn't get taller. If sea level were to be re-established at the top of Mt Everest, you'd be five miles closer to the top of the atmosphere, so the pressure would be correspondingly less - you don't get five more miles of atmosphere to compensate.
Your earlier point about the definition of 'har' fails as well, since the verse in Genesis includes all mountains 'under the heavens', not just the ones the myth-makers knew about. Boru
