Japan Quake Shortens Earth Day.
It’s amazing what a little earthquake can do to an entire planet, an earthquake which also generated a tsunami high enough to cause significant damage to northeast Japan.
Which reminds me of Noah’s flood; not only did water fall as rain from the clouds above, but Scripture also tells us “
on that day all the fountains of the great deep were broken up” - Gen 7:11.
The “great deep” here may be referring to the great deep ocean, and the author may be referring to the earth’s crust being "broken up" at the bottom of the great deep ocean, generating tsunamis high enough to cover mountains, and even continents.
This would also explain where all the water went after the flood; most of it would have simply receded back into the great deep ocean, some of it would have been absorbed into the ground, and the rest of it would have simply evaporated back into the atmosphere to form clouds which then fell into the great deep ocean as rain.
I think the physics of Noah’s flood is being made all the more clearer now.
It's unfortunate what happened to Japan, though.
