So the oceanic basins did not exist prior to the flood? The ocean floor was flatter?
I believe that it is likely that the same event that brought us the flood also brought us our mountain ranges. A close encounter with another planet like Venus or Mars, or some other that has long since left our solar system.
I believe that before the flood there was no such thing as a sunny day. It was always overcast, only VERY heavy overcast. And a lot of that water is what makes up our oceans today.
Right question!

Water attains an equilibrium level.
1) Was there more water on Earth during the Flood?
or..
2)Did the ocean basins not exist prior to the Flood?
If 2), is dumb@$$ Ourd claiming that all the plate tectonic activity (aka "Continental Drift") that created our ocean basins (plus the volume displaced by erosion-deposited continental shelves) took place in a span of ?seven? months?
Scripture does not mention unimaginable earthquakes during that time.

Why do these ministerial imbeciles who have zero comprehension of physics insist on embarrassing the rest of us Christians by proclaiming their own ignorance thereof?

AFAIK, & IMO, the God Who created this universe:
has zero need for ignorant, "theologian" jack@%%3$ to "apologize" for what He did...
