Fish must be very holy

RE: Fish must be very holy
The air pressure on Mt. Everest is about 1/3 sea level. You would die floating around at 5 miles above sea level.
You make people miserable and there's nothing they can do about it, just like god.

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.

He means that if waters rose globally to the height of Mt. Everest than the atmosphere would have rearranged itself so that pressure at the 'new' sea level would have been the same as at the 'old' sea level. Basically the problem is the following: if we consider for the sake of simplicity the Earth to be spherical and add to the Earth a spherical layer of mass (water) 5 miles high and suppose that the volume of the atmosphere stays constant (no ejection to space) what will be the variation of atmospherical pressure at the sea level?

Speaking of water mixing and fish survival during the Flood. Even if we consider that the salt water layer is ideally below the fresh water level with a transitional area being sufficiently narrow and that the salt water fish manage to navigate there in time there's still a pressure factor. 5 additional miles of water would have caused major variations in pressure that would have killed lots of kinds of fish in the underlying layer.

Though it's in fact absurd that such nonsence is even being discussed in our times.

I agree, this is all that really needs to be said on the subject in the 21st century.

Imagine the heat sink problem. The temperature of the Water/Snow at it's source and it's affect on our fragile thermal balance of our weather system would be colossal.

Don't worry about it. It's nothing you would understand / admit.

Ah, the problem of you not wanting your idea to be scrutinized by me openly... I'm seeing that more and more on this forum.

I believe the flood water in the story came from the sky. They thought the sky high above was made of water, as seperated from earthly water by God in the infamous "creation story".

Back in reality, they were looking up at a blue sky, looking at blue water, and concluded that the sky was water. And then they stole a story from an earlier mythology about a flood, featuring a character with an actual bow to set in the sky. That's why the story makes no sense and they later tried to switch bow out for rainbow in some later "translations".

If I remember all that right.

So to sum up, it's a load of fetid dingo's kidneys (thanks Douglas). Anyone who thinks this flood actually happened is several rungs below reality.

Sometimes I actually regret that in the XXI century there are still so much freakin' obsessed and outright dumb people who can't just leave The Bible, Yahweh, Jesus & CO alone and leave them for those who like to enjoy mythology and philosoply. Trying to prove Noah's Flood with science for serious is a sign of either extreme fanatism or extreme thickness.
