Thread: DID NOAH'S FLOOD COVER MT EVEREST?

Mount Everest lies between Tibet and Nepal in southern Asia. It is 9 kilometers high. The waters from the worldwide Flood of Noah's time would cover a fairly level earth only to about 3 kilometers. So how could the water form Noah's Flood cover Mount Everest?

The answer is that Mount Everest was formed after or during the Flood — it wasn't in existence in its present form before the Flood. We know this because its higher parts contain fossils of sea creatures and seashells, showing that it is made of rock that was once under water.

Before the Flood, the mountains were not as high as today, and the ocean valleys were not as deep. Mount Everest and other high mountains were pushed up by the enormous underwater volcanic activity of the Flood (“the fountains of the great deep” — Genesis 7:11) and carved out by the rapid draining away of the waters into the ocean valleys.

So the water didn't have to cover Mount Everest and the other high mountains we see today, because they didn't exist before the Flood.

There were hills in the pre-Flood world of course (Genesis 7:19), and it was these that the Bible speaks of when it says the mountains were covered to a depth of 15 cubits (6.75 meters) during the Flood.

SO YOU SEE, THE EARTH WAS PRETTY FLAT BEFORE NOAH'S FLOOD.

After the Israelites had been delivered from Egypt and settled in Canaan, they were described in Scripture as "a people… which covereth the face of the earth [erets]" (Num. 22:5, 11).

Not even creationists could say that Israelites covered every square foot of the earth's surface both land and sea. Yet the Bible says so! Does it not? The Israelites did not cover the planet only the expanse of land, or erets, where they were then dwelling.

Maybe the Israelites were big people or had very large feet

Computer simulations show that if Israelites had a footprint in excess of 790,000 hectares they may just cover about 3% of earths total surface.

No need unless you enjoy long sci-fi novels

Did you know that Noah used the following equations to design the hull of the Ark?

DON'T KNOW WHAT ANY OF THE ABOVE MEANS.

I THOUGHT THIS CREATIONIST SITE WAS INTERESTING BECAUSE THEY CLAIM THE EARTH WAS FLAT BEFORE THE FLOOD.

SO THERE WERE NO MOUNTAINS UNTIL AFTER NOAH'S FLOOD!
