It should be realized that the Bible does not say that any mountains in Noahs day were as tall as Mount Everest. Scientists have said that in the past many of the mountains were much lower than at present and that some have even been pushed up from under the seas. Furthermore, it is believed that there was a time when the oceans themselves were smaller and the continents were larger than they are now, as testified to by river channels extending far out under the oceans. But regarding the present situation, National Geographic magazine, in its issue of January 1945, reported: There is ten times as much water by volume in the ocean as there is land above sea level. Dump all this land evenly into the sea, and water would cover the entire earth, one and one-half miles deep. So, after the floodwaters fell, but before the raising of mountains and the lowering of seabeds caused water to drain off the land and before the buildup of polar ice caps, there was ample water to cover all the tall mountains, as the Bible states.Genesis 7:17-20; 8:1-3; compare Psalm 104:6-9.
Psalm 104:6-9
With a watery deep just like a garment you covered it.
The waters were standing above the very mountains.
7 At your rebuke they began to flee;
At the sound of your thunder they were sent running in panic
8 Mountains proceeded to ascend,
Valley plains proceeded to descend
To the place that you have founded for them.
9 A boundary you set, beyond which they should not pass,
That they should not again cover the earth.
So the mountain the ark landed on was formed during the flood? Also did the genesis accord happene twice? Genesis 1:9 And God said, "Let the water under the sky be gathered to one place, and let dry ground appear." And it was so. Genesis clearly states that the oceans came first and then land. Tell me, how high where the highest mountains at the time of the flood? Yes, please back your statement with a little math.
This psalm has NOTHING to do with the flood. Its a splendid passage describing God's creation, and NOT destruction!
Keep in mind the Himalayas then are then not older then 4k. This would be amazing.
