The Earth’s surface is 70% water with another equal volume believed to be in subterranean aquifer.
What in the world are you guys talking about, the flood water came to this planet, and “the fountains of the great deep broken up and the windows of heaven were opened up.” Genesis 7:11. “And the waters prevailed exceedingly upon the earth; and all the high
hills, that under the whole heaven, were covered.” Genesis 7:20. The earth was not flat but had mountains, even Mt. Everest was covered by water. “And the ark rested in the seventh month, on the seventeenth day of the month, upon the mountains of Ararat.”
Genesis 8: 4. Notice that it did not say that the ark came to rest on Mount Ararat, but the mountains of Ararat. Ararat is not a mountain, but an area. Now here is the question: did the flood happen as reported in the Bible? The answer is yes if one understands
it. From whence did the water come? The Planet Mars at one time had a very deep ocean, then it disappeared, I will give you one guess where it went. The scientist, who are beyond stupid say the solar wind blew it away, I do not believe this for one second.
The orbit that Mars is in now is very cold and at 178 degrees below zero at night that ice is going to be as hard as rock. Then with the great volcano Mt. Olympus Mons more than likely spreading ash over the planet at some depth, I highly doubt that the solar
wind could blow that ocean away. What the planet shows is massive flooding which would not happen with a solar wind. That water was heading somewhere at a great rate of speed. After living in Alaska for 32 years I can tell you the colder the weather the
harder the ice. Yet the water on Mars disappeared. How? In order for the water to be taken off the planet it had to be in an orbit closer to the sun, I submit an orbit the same as Earth’s orbit. When Mars approached Earth, Earth’s stronger gravitational
power pulled the water off of Mars, hence “Noah’s Flood”. Valles Marineris, that great valley on mars, 2800 miles long, 150 miles wide and 6 to 7 miles deep is a great phenomenon. Know how the scientist said it formed? They said it fell in. That would
mean there would have to be a chasm underneath the ground 2800 miles long, 150 miles wide and 6 to7 miles deep for this to happen. How stupid can you get! It sounded so ridiculous that later the scientist changed it to a big crack. It is not a big crack.
I am not going to say everything here because I think I will write a book about it. Yes, I know, I have not answered a lot of questions.
Very creative story Rad. You ought to write a book.
All though I am a very creative person, I admit, but the story about Mars is not creative, it happened!
That’s pretty nuts actually. For the earth to have drawn off Mars’ oceans Mars and Earth would at some point in the past have been closer together than Earth and our own Moon.
Mars lost it’s atmosphere and water due to a massive meteor strike or multiple meteor strikes which is pretty easy to understand looking at the massive meteor damage on the planet.
The Bible says nothing about Mt Everest or any of the other high peaks being underwater. For that to be the case the entire planet would have to of been covered in over 28,000’ feet of water above current sea levels.
Believed by whom exactly? Nobody that understands either hydrology or geology.
We’ve already been over this several times, those mountains were at some point in the past sea bottoms.
Once again, due to plate Tectonics continents and mountains rise and fall as one plate pushes under another as the continents drift.
Mountain ranges get pushed up where two plates collide or due to volcanic activity rise slowly over time due to lava flows.
Again, we agree. The mountain ranges were at one time below sea level. In the Pacific Rim area, plates are subducting beneath other plates. The Mid Atlantic Ridge is evidence of the tearing apart of plates forming volcanic mountains beneath the ocean. Current geosatellite measurements show islands and continents moving towards the mid Pacific ocean region during earthquakes. (Japan moved East 16 feet during 2011 quake.) Geologic evidence shows sedimentary layers form much of our mountain ranges indicating those high ridges were at one time under water. Theories hold that S.America and Africa were one land mass at one time. So yes Earth’s tectonic plate movement is real.
No, it is not nuts, TWR, The cliffs on the side of Mt. Olympus Mons are many thousands of feet high, probably higher than Mt. Everest, Mars was covered with an extremely deep ocean. And yes, Mars probably did fly by Earth closer than the moon, that is not at all improbable. And no, meteor strikes would not have caused the ocean of Mars to disappear. Can you tell us how this would happen? What, blast the water into space. If it did the water would just come back to Mars, as Mars is the only body around there with the gravitational pull to pull the water back. We need to remember that Mars with its ocean had more gravitational power than without its ocean. Where did you get this idea, from these crazy scientists? I have not explained everything, as LastManOut said, I should write a book about it, and this is what I have in mind. When we see many of the photos of the heavens we see many instances of larger bodies pulling material off of smaller bodies, it is not a mystery about this.
Massive strikes would have burned off the atmosphere and once that was gone the evaporation was inevitable.
Mars lacks out Gravity and lacks our magnetic field to protect it from solar radiation.
There’s no possibility that Mars ever passed that close to earth or it could not be in it’s current orbit which brings it no closer than 33.6 million miles from the earth.
Between asteroid strikes and the solar winds it’s atmosphere just melted away and it’s oceans then followed.
Even though over time there are fewer asteroids and meteors floating around our solar system Mars still averages over 200 strikes large enough to be detected each year.

Water, water everywhere. Certainly enough to cover a more level terrestrial landscape with water to 1,000 feet deep or more.
According to the U.S. Geological Survey, there are over 332,519,000 cubic miles of water on the planet.
Like something out of early 19th century playwright Jules Verne’s novel, Journey to the Center of the Earth — in which characters stumble across a massive underground basin — a team of geologists led by Steven Jacobsen from Northwestern University have found a vast body of water, three times the size of any ocean, located near earth’s core. It’s possible that water from this enormous reservoir oozed to the surface.

Many creationists have attributed this to a water vapor canopy that was created by God on the second day, the “waters above the firmament” (Genesis 1:7). This theory holds that a “vast blanket of invisible water vapor, translucent to the light of the stars but productive of a marvelous greenhouse effect which maintained mild temperatures from pole to pole, thus preventing air-mass circulation and the resultant rainfall (Genesis 2:5). It would certainly have had the further effect of efficiently filtering harmful radiation from space, markedly reducing the rate of somatic mutations in living cells, and, as a consequence, drastically decreasing the rate of aging and death.”(Morris, Henry, Scientific Creationism, 1984, p. 211.) Citing evidence of denser atmosphere in the past, Morris postulated that this vapor layer could have dramatically increased the atmospheric pressure on the surface of the early earth, again contributing to a healthier environment (like a natural hyperbaric chamber). Later the canopy would have collapsed in the form of rain (the “windows of heaven” in Genesis 7:11), contributing to the Flood water, and resulting in the dramatic drop-off in longevity after the deluge.
And there’s absolutely no evidence anywhere to suggest all of the continents were at one time flat.
Even if they were perfectly flat at sea level which is impossible, there’s only enough water on the planet to raise sea levels by 300-400’ if every bit of snow and ice on the planet melted.
You can stubbornly keep stating that (which isn’t what I am asserting anyway). The fact is, we agree the highest mountains were once below sea level. How do you explain that if the land masses were not flatter? Also, it is common knowledge the sea floor is sinking towards the Earth’s core.
Learn a little science.
Continents rise and fall over time, none of them were ever flat.
As one plate pushes under another it is consumed and the plate on top rises.
There’s absolutely no evidence that the continents were ever all flat. To even suggest it defies all logic as that would require the entire planet to expand outward to account for the increased surface area.
Physics isn’t your strong suit, is it?
Actually it is. Obviously it isn’t your’s.
You can’t flatten out and expand the earth’s surface without expanding it’s total diameter.
So it IS possible then. Was the Earth billiard ball flat. No. Was it flatter? Likely considering the sinking ocean floor and rising mountains.
There, wasn’t that easy?
You’re just flat making things up now that can’t be supported by even a single known fact.
Are there fossils of sea creatures on the tops of mountains? Id yes, how did they get there?
Are the ocean floors sinking now and in the past? If so, what elevation were they before sinking?
