Five Reasons Why there was Enough Water for a Worldwide Flood.

 Here's a quote a skeptical friend had posted on facebook as a challenge to me, ".....Science has proven there was never a worldwide Flood as in the story of Noah. In fact, there is not even enough water on earth to make this possible." Is this true? Has science proven that there was no worldwide Flood in Noah's day? There are five points to consider about whether there is enough water to flood the whole world. These points are as follows: 

(1.) Before the Flood, there was what a number of scientist have come to know to be the great "water canopy" above the earth that helped to keep out harmful rays from the sun while at the same time acted as a sort of green house effect around the entire earth, making it a literal tropical paradise. During the worldwide Flood this water canopy rained down upon the whole world. Today we only have the ozone layer protecting us from the harmful rays of the sun. But even that is damaged as a number of scientists have discovered a number of gaping holes in the ozone layer in different parts of the world, which many believe is responsible for skin cancer and an increase in warm temperatures in parts of the world where it has been otherwise cool.

(2.) Secondly, "the fountains of the great deep broken up" (Genesis 7:11; 8:2) caused the water to rise much higher during the great Deluge. Does such great fountains of the deep exist today? Yes, marine scientists have discovered such "fountains of the great deep" in the Marrianna Trench deep in the Pacific Ocean.

(3.) Thirdly, if the great ice cap up in the North were to ever totally melt today it would raise the water to Flooding conditions as well. However, God did place the rainbow in the sky as a sign never to Flood the entire world again. God has kept that promise (see Genesis 9:12-17). So the chances of the great ice cap causing a worldwide Flood is very unlikely to happen.

(4.) Fourthly, the science of archaeology (which my friend said in the same post disproves many of the OT stories) has over the years uncovered many startling fossilized evidence of plant and animal life in places all over the world where they shouldn't be. Many of these fossils reveal animal life in the process of eating either plants or other animals. This of course could only be possible if something very cataclysmic happened to bury, kill, and preserve such animals we see in today's fossils. The evidence around the world speaks loudly for itself of a worldwide Flood from Noah's day.

 (5.) The last point that testifies to the proof of a worldwide Flood. Consider this, 70% of the world is covered with water today. Where did all this water come from? No doubt, Noah's Flood was responsible for this. Before the Flood, continents and oceans were much different than they are now. Yes, even before the Flood there were always large bodies of oceans, lakes, rivers around the world at that time, but not to the extent we see them today. The land masses or continents were much different and larger and the bodies of water smaller then we see them today. Again, the evidence speaks loudly for a worldwide Flood.
