So then you need 29,000 feet of global water. I calculate that it amounts to about 11 billion cubic miles of water. Where did it come from and where did it go? More relevant to this thread, how did it arrive and leave without wind or tubulence?Many elements of stories contain frequent recapitulations by the author. It's a style of writing. Also, I'm an OEC, not a YEC. The mountains are ancient.

We don't need to find it -- we already believe it by faith...
You might want to track down my profile, while you're at it.
It says:
Although I call BS on HMS Arkehood for reasons of physics, engineering and forestry, I find nothing to debate VET with. He asserts it as a matter of faith, and what is there to debate? He's not -- so far as I can tell -- arguing that Noah Shipyards could have built ze Arkmarck except as a miracle, he's not making ad hoc or special pleading arguments so his answer is completely honest and consistent.
I don't agree with him that a literal SS Arkitania is necessary for the Christian faith because there's nothing in the faith that requires a literal RMS Arktanic.
But here's the key thing, although he certainly hates science, his position on SS Arkeadoria does not put him in opposition to physicists, engineers and foresters.
Ask him why there is no physical evidence for a global flood and you will be up to your ears in ad hoc special pleading.

I don't care if you buy my ad hoc explanations or not.Then quite whining when no one buys your ad hoc explanations.
I'm not crying, but seeing basic doctrine and supposition met with ridicule is getting old.You can't be bothered to support your own arguments with physical evidence don't cry when we do so and people believe us.
What?VET?
No, he won't.Ask him why there is no physical evidence for a global flood and you will be up to your ears in ad hoc special pleading.
No, he won't.
He will get a 5 one-syllable words answer: God cleaned up the mess.
Only if he refuses to accept that and pursues the matter further, will he get more.
Like I say: ask ad hoc, answer ad hoc.More ad hoc? Why pile it on?
Like I say: ask ad hoc, answer ad hoc.
I am -- but like I say, when you guys ask questions that you know aren't covered by the Scriptures, then you should respect our suppositions.But you are aware that there is no such thing as an "ad hoc question"?
No, sorry, I have to phrase that differently...
You ridicule the basic doctrine that there isn´t such a thing as ad hoc questions!

Down the Tardis drain?So where did all the water go, owg?

I'll give you something to go on -- even if it seems far-fetched.
By way of example, if someone pins me down and demands I explain where the Flood water went, I'm going to acquiesce and tell them I think it went to Neptune -- (which I do).
They might laugh, get upset, and/or think I'm crazy; but one thing's for sure -- they stop asking.
Guess again. The land would have to sink more than a bit. The surface area of the earth is 510 million cubic kilometers.I'm guessing a rise in the sea floor that spilled the oceans onto the land. Much of the land would have to sink a bit as well as the earth 'egged' out. The movement would only have to be slight; the thickness of several sheets of paper on a twelve inch globe. Also all it would take was one monster surge to cover Mt.Everest. The water didn't have to stand over it. The baptism type would be complete if the whole earth were under the water if only for a moment. When the sea floor settled back down the water returned to the seabeds where it came from.
