Where did it come from and where did it go?

The polar regions.

You're still scaring me.

Mega ZZZZZZZOT theory. Extremely interesting reading - just started.

Thanks.

"Where did it come from and where did it go?

The polar regions."

Incorrect, if all the non-ocean water were dupulicated, including polar ice and placed on the earth it would raise sea level about 400 feet around the globe. This would hardly be enough to deposit Noa's Ark above 10,000 feet on Mt Ararat in Turkey.

"Then the question becomes where did the prone person come from and where did he go? Mountain ranges were "pushed up" by tectonic plate forces sometime making sea beds "appear" on top of what have become mountains.

Yes, but then what is the point of your water volume calculations?"

I though I was commenting on a least a "semi-scientific" article. In this attempt I see that I am stepping all over "reliious faith"

Let me just say that it was a "Act of God."

Why do you assume that it is Mt. Ararat in Turkey that the ark rested upon? The Bible mentions the mountains of Ararat, but the mountain in Turkey was not historically named Ararat. Ararat was a more recent naming.

In fact, the word 'ararat' means 'the curse reversed'. Therefore the Ark rested on the mountains when the curse had been reversed.

There is only one verse in the Bible which gives us a hint of where we the ark came to rest, "the ark rested...upon the mountains of Ararat." Genesis 8:4. Where is Ararat? The name Ararat is a large area or ancient country covering eastern Turkey, western Iran and western Russia. "The name Ararat, as it appears in the Bible, is the Hebrew equivalent of ...Uratu, ancient country of southwest Asia...mentioned in Assyrian sources from the early 13th century BC" Encyclopaedia Britanica 15th ed. Some have mistakenly assumed the Bible meant the ark came to rest on Mount Ararat (Agri Dagh), but that is not the case. Mount Ararat is 17,000 feet tall, and is a post-Flood volcanic mountain that gained its extra height after the Flood, therefore there is no reason to assume it is a more likely candidate for the resting place of the ark. The ark came to rest in the mountains of the ancient country of Uratu, not Mt. Ararat.

My question has nothing to do with religious faith. It is a question of historicity, i.e. what happened? I do not understand the point of your water volume calculations.

Cordially,

There was a program on Discovery a few nights ago. Some geneticists were talking about a bottleneck that happened in human populations at one time thousands of years ago when the entire population of humans was reduced to only 5-10,000 worldwide.

(Prior to that time there was a dramatically larger genetic diversity among humans.)

The program was about looking to the possibility of a caldera explosion around Sumatra, I believe, as the cause of the cataclysm. Particles apparently blocked the sun and killed most vegetation and life.

Anyway, something did happen. Looks like there are some theories as to what that may have been.

When you take a cube of Sulfur rich material almost 9 miles on a side and eject it 10-20 miles into the air in one explosive event as happened with the Toba Caldera 74,000 years ago you can expect very bad things to happen.

Heck of a handle you got there. Thank God for cut and paste. Consider youself added. Thanks.

You can dig brimstone out of the clay along the Red Sea and dead sea, its sulfur basically and burns if ignited with a flame.

[MHGinTN]

But I didn't see it on the Discovery Channel until a couple of weeks ago ... : ^{ )

You are the guy who is sending me those nonsensical Viagra e-mails aren't you? Please stop, you are getting on my nerves.

See now, there you go. Getting all rational on us.

I want one of those T shorts that says “Stop Plate Tectonics!”

:D

It’s a file system what dunnit.
