(18,998 posts)If that is not the official story I don't know what is....and they will all say what you say...that there is NO evidence for a world wide flood...end of story.
But there is something else that expands watter and that is the release of methane hydrates into the watter...and in fact has been said to have sunk a ship that went through an eruption of the hydrates because it lowered the density of the watter to where the ship no longer floated...
One theory is that these hydrates were fractured in the region of the mid Atlantic riff....which would have sent a series of waves way bigger than the Tsunami in Japan...and these series of waves would crash over the land and pick up every tree plant and animal and lots of rocks and deposited them inland in sedimentary layers....a far simpler explanation for fossils of sea creatures on mountain tops than uniformitarianism...but cannot be considered because it might suggest that the bible was based on some truth....and that can't be allowed.
And the evidence is there...but all of it disregarded by those who insist on saying the bible is 100% wrong...cause that is how things are to them....ether 100% wrong or 100% right...just the same principles as used by the fundies.
