Yes, that would be absolutely ridiculous levels of rain fall. Too bad that isn't what anybody thinks happened.

Oh.... the fountains of the deep....... because less dense material like water can defy gravity and rest beneath more dense material like FUCKING granite. Yea we have ample evidence of that....... Once again uniformity broken by creationists....

Do you realize how stupid this sounds? Is natural gas less dense than the rock above it?

Wouldn't rain rates that high atomize pretty much everything? Would that be like a fireman's hose (500 gpm) or even worse?

In gallons per minute it's equal to:
170,000,000 GPM......

I'd have to think about it atomizing everything. I think it might depend on whether there was so much water that it was like a fire hose or if there was still enough air mixed in that the water falls like normal rain drops. I'm leaning towards atomized.

How did you calculate volume needed? Have you read the account or are you just assuming you know what it says?

Good fucking god! ROFLMAO! Hundreds of thousands of times more powerful than a fire hydrant.

It must be those fountains of the deep then.... because gravity didn't work on water before the flood...

I'd be curious to see your math on the same question (amount of rain fall needed over 40 days to flood the Earth.) You said you are very proficient in mathematics earlier in the thread. You seem to believe in the Noah's Ark story, so surely you'd want to use your mathematic ability to further understand the conditions in which Noah found himself, correct? A curious mind like yourself would want to know that.
 
We should get into proving that the earth was surrounded by a dome, outside of which was nothing but water. Because that is what the Genesis account preaches. There are still some wacky creationists that believe this part of the myth.

I hope you don't use natural gas to heat your house because it totally doesn't exist if gravity is what keeps it in the earth.

You haven't read the account. My calculations wouldn't make sense to you.

Humor me then. I may not understand them, but I'd love to read through them. Maybe someone else in this thread could help me understand your calculations, we don't know until you post them.

Remember, we are talking about the amount of rain fall needed over a 40 day interval to flood the earth.

Read the account. Your last sentence tells me that you don't know what you're talking about. Educate yourself.

Please explain and post a link, thanks.

Find it yourself and read it and come back and tell me what you found. Then tell me if Paratus' calculations represent what the account says. Any further requests will be ignored, educate yourself.

I don't know what I'm looking for. We've danced around what you are telling me to seek. Is it the Noah's Ark story or the calculation Paratus's volume measurement is based on or something else?
