What point would I like you to address about the flood? Let's start with a few basic ones. What happened to all the plants on the earth while they were covered in water all that time? (Hint: I can tell you what happens to my houseplants when I overwater them and stick them in a dark place out of the sun.) What about all the insects? Were you aware that a conservative estimate for the number of species of cockroach is 4,000? What about amoebas, paramecia, and all those other microscopic critters, what happened to them? Also, where did all the water come from, and where did it go? The creationist leaders used to advocate something called the vapour canopy theory but in recent years they seem to have decided to put it to the side. There are hundreds of other feasibility questions but let's just start with these.


You're going by the assumption that it simply "rained". In actual fact, the "fountains of the great deep" opened up, so the event was far more catastrophic even than a long term deluge of rain. The fountains of the deep burst through from miles below the earth's surface, which they split apart in unprecedented upheavals - e.g. an area the size of Washington state on the seabed off the US coast has been found with 1000 extinct volcanoes to give us a faint idea of the upheavals at the time of the flood.

As for plants and insects, colossal areas of vegetation stripped and ripped up by the flood, some hundreds of feet thick floated around the earth carrying and distributing insects and seeds. So what is the problem? Do you envision some kind of perfect sea of water with no floating debris? lol, this can hardly be compared to you over watering a house plant in isolation. Think of the masses of rich vegetation in abundence, particularly then as with everything else! As far as I know, all plants have seeds which have strong survival characteristics.

I hope I've explained plant and insect survival and registribution worldwide, through floating on vast areas of flood debri. Cockroaches by the way can survive almost anything (we have them here in abundance).

By the way, marine fossils have been found in abundance near the top of Mount Everest, indicating (with vast under water canyons larger than the Grand Canyon), the tremendous world wide upheavals.

Where did the water go? The water is in the oceans! and if the earth's land masses were all levelled out, the whole world would be under 2 miles deep water. Don't you live near the sea? Or if you do.....you don't seem to know much about it. The answer is all around you <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />
