You said — Amounts to a couple of inches distributed over the entire surface of the earth.

And then — also — if you measure the amount of water contained in the oceans and spread it out over land masses with lower features and shallow ocean basins, you would have water covering every square inch of land to a depth of around 1 mile deep...

Now, it’s said by these scientists who are looking into the world-wide flood that the ocean basins were shallow at that time, the land mass did not have high mountains, it was not raining, at that time in our earth’s history, and that the atmosphere was denser and the amount of water contained in it was a lot higher as a result, along with a lot of water trapped below the surface which was released during dramatic tectonic changes that happened at the time and thus, releasing the vast amounts of water that did lay beneath the surface.

All that combined to bring us the deep oceans of today, the large volumes of water we see on the planet and the tectonic changes that produced the high mountains, of which we see marine fossils at the tops of those mountains...
