Evidence indicates that there is more water under the earth’s mantle than in all the oceans on the surface of the earth:
That’s a LOT of water. A whole lot more than a mere tsunami.
Scripture talks about how water first burst forth from “the deep,” and only after that point did the water from the heavens (a relatively thin layer of water) collapse onto the earth and flood it. Once the water burst forth, the tectonic plates certainly shifted in dramatic fashion, causing deep valleys and great mountains to form.
I have no problem believing that the flood was global. To me, that’s what Scripture points toward.
Fascinating stuff!

I am not sure if you are familiar with Dr. Walter Brown's work, but he has a bunch of interesting videos on Youtube regarding his Flood model (Hydroplate Model) of the Great Flood being initiated by 'the Fountains of the Deep' bursting open.

I referenced two of these sources in a paper I wrote for my OT Seminary class on Evidence for the Flood.
Very interesting. Thx for the info.
It seems that many areas on the planet have been flooded and it’s been written about. It’s been theorized Noah’s flood was a Caspian Sea flood.
A great book on Geology and the planet is by Bill Bryson.

He discusses climate change prior to humans. What a hoot!!
Our planet once was almost totally frozen (Thank God for global warming!) and later you could walk to Alaska from Russia, Japan from China, and the U.K from “the continent”.
The Sahara desert has river beds.
I knew it would come across that I'm trying to defend a local flood explanation, but that's really not my goal. I've written other blogs examining the possibility of a global flood. But for this one in particular, I wanted to focus on how it specifically struck lower Mesopotamia, where the story is set.
THX for the info!!
Geologist have proven that there were major floods in several populated areas through out time. Appreciate the water under the mantle news.
A good book to read on a bit of geology and the planet is “A Short History of Nearly Everything” by Bill Bryson.

At one point the world was frozen. Later, (Thank God for global warming.) you could walk from Russia to Alaska, from China to Japan, to the U.K. from the “continent”. The Sahara once had river beds.
Read geologist.
Ignore Al Gore and his hair on fire, doom and gloom followers. And the fact he runs around the world on private jets. or not.
