Take a look at the above site on the eruption of Mt. Saint Helens and there would be your answer. |

Disappointed, but not surprised. |

incidentally, I can't see what you are getting at, sorry. The eruption of Mt. St. Helens produced a flow of ash and fragmented volcanic rock (not lava) and a flow of mud and WATER produced by water coming from deep within the volcano, or earth, and melt-off of snow around the mountain. The mud and water flow was the most devestating element of the eruption. Genesis 7:11
In the [Gen 7:6] six hundredth year of Noah's life, in the second month, on the seventeenth day of the month, on the same day all [Gen 8:2] the fountains of the great deep burst open, and the floodgates of the sky were opened.

aah yes, this water from volcanoes is a common feature in large explosions of this type. it still causes problems though because a) it is all superheated and b) there isn't actually an awful lot of it. remember you are talking about enough water to coat the earth in miles deep of water, I did a loose calculation a while back and came up with a water rising rate of several feel per minute, globally.... that's a heck of alot of water. if it all came from volcanoes like st Helens, then it would boil the entire planet and cover it in a really really thick layer of ash.... not to mention the fact that all the water would have to go somewhere. ( I didn't do calculations on how fast the water would have to recede, but it is probably a similar rate.)
If all that water came from a few specific locations, then the release rate would have been absolutely tremendous, even if it seeped out from all the fault lines simultaneously it would have left a mark... and there is no evidence for this. If it came from all over the planet, then again there would be evidence, and it would still be a tremendous rate of outpouring remember several feet of water globally per minute is alot of water.
not even to mention all the myriad of other problems.

I'll be the first to admit I'm not officially schooled in these areas, but I do research to find answers. So I will do more research and come back with an answer later. K? | | |
