If this is gonna be a discussion thread, I'm out.

Me like-a da memes.

Science is discovering more and more underground water all the time and it has been to the amazement to science, all that flood water had to have a place to go and so some of it was returned to from where it came. These are just some things to ponder, I'm not saying this was an actual cause of the great flood.

Care to post a link to a peer-reviewed journal to substantiate the above?

Somehow I suspect that if the earth had to hold all the extra water necessary to flood the earth to a depth of five miles (to cover the top of Mount Everest), some of it would contact a volcanic system and the steam would blow the planet to bits.

I've think I remember seeing some articles, where scientists believe that the earth was covered in water, in the beginning.

That's possible, with the land pushing up through the water later.  It's not quite the same as having a bunch of water hiding somewhere inside the earth's mantle, though.

No gopher wood during that era either . . .

If you look at the data, it seems fairly certain, that there is water within the earths mantle.   The fuzzy part, I believe is in estimating how much exactly there is. However the concensus does seem to be a lot.  

However, this discussion probably doesn't belong in the meme thread.

Well there is water there but not in vast deposits. Its held high pressure minerals.

or many years, scientists have attempted to establish exactly how much water may be cycling between the Earth’s surface and interior reservoirs through the action of plate tectonics. Northwestern University geophysicist Steve Jacobsen and University of New Mexico seismologist Brandon Schmandt have found deep pockets of magma around 400 miles beneath North America — a strong indicator of the presence of H₂O stored in the crystal structure of at these depths.

So think of it more as damp sand than an ocean waiting to burst forth.
