If there was such a flood, where did all the water come from and where did it go?

Figure it out: Volume = Pi Times Radius Of The Earth To The Third Power. The radius of the earth at the equator is 3,963 miles. The volume of the earth [ignoring flatening] is 195.5 billion cm [cubic miles]. The current total amount of water on the planet is 326 million cm.

To raise the radius of the earth, with water by 100 feet, would require 2.8 million cm of water, which is more than all the non-ocean and icecap water combined. To raise the radius of the earth by 400 feet would take more than all the water on earth except for the oceans.

To raise the radius of the earth by say 12,500 feet, enough to cover mountains, would require more water than currently exists on the entire planet.

Where did it come from and where did it go?

When I take a bath, I usually sit up and read, but I can also go prone and submerge myself, all with the same amount of water. Judging from the clams on Mount Everest I would guess that it was prone at one time.

To cause a flood of Biblical proportions it only has to happen to your house. At the time of the great flood there was only a small population of people on earth. It did not require flooding all of earth only where they lived.

Why are there marine fossils at the summit of Mount Everest?

Cordially,

Where did it come from and where did it go?

The bible says it came from Heaven. The word "heaven" in this case doesn't refer to the sky. My assumption by a literal reading is the water that covered the earth came from across the divide that separates this world from heaven.

One could argue theologically that only heaven sourced water could wipe the earth clean from all sin.

Where did it come from and where did it go?

The polar regions.
