The Noahide Flood

[Gawdzilla Sama]

Is there any point to this? The Flood didn't happen.

It is a demonstration of the reasons why the Great Flood didn't happen. Falsifying a claim. Good practice.

Useful if talking to a flood apologist or someone heading that way or an immunisation against it.

You're right, they will drop their faith in the faze of reason.

I like watching my hillbilly cousins try to formulate a response. They look like they're getting a root canal with no drugs.

"We had to destroy the village in order to save it."

to cover all land on earth you would need to raise the sea level by roughly the height of the highest mountains which are about 8km

earth ahs about 500 million square kilometers of area so that’s 4000,000,000km³ or 400,000,000,000,000,0000m³ or 4,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 liters

and secondly… that’s a good question - because neither is there any source where so much water could suddenly come from, nor is there anywhere it would go

if by magic all land was flooded then it would probably remain so until the earth gets destroyed in billions of years - well, maybe it ges a few meters lower and you gt like 2 tiny mountaintop islands but that’s about it

water can sometimes get into the mantle of the earth but only in very limited amounts and it comes back up again - and tiny amounts of water vapor can be blown off into space but again, tiny amounts

It'd require way much more water than that, since the earth is a sphere, and you'd need more and more water to raise the water level each subsequent inch/foot/meter/etc

Meh. I broke my math bone when I was in the fifth grade and it never healed properly.

That's my story and I'm sticking to it.

radius of the earth is around 700 times greater than the depth of even a Noachian flood that drowns the tallest mountain,     so the thin shell approximation of of the volume of water that doesn’t account for what you describe  would be very close to the true volume.

It's building up my scrolling muscles.

The radius of the Earth doesn't really factor in.  If you have rectangular pool that requires 100 gallons of water for fill up to 1 foot in depth, it'd require  an additional 100 gallons of water to make it 2 feet in depth, another 100 gallons to make it 3 feet in dept, and so forth.  However, if the pool is in the shape of an inverted trapezoid, with a bottom narrower than the top, each subsequent foot of water depth will require more water to fill.
