Ecclesiastes 9 KJV (7) Go thy way, eat thy bread with joy, and drink thy wine with a merry heart; for God now accepteth thy works. Psalms 104 KJV (15) And wine that maketh glad the heart of man, and oil to make his face to shine, and bread which strengtheneth man's heart. Proverbs 31...

These two replies now brings up the question of whether God created the firmament (the crust) in a manner that it would eventually break under the pressure and flood the earth by natural means. Calvinists might say He did since they believe He already planned out future events to happen at...

Question about the pressure build up that caused the waters to burst forth ..... How long would it take to build up that kind of pressure?

You made a fine effort.

Not only does scripture mentions windows, but also storehouses of weather elements that God talks about when he approaches Job and questions if he was there when God created and knew how it was done. Job 38 ESV (22) Have you entered the storehouses of the snow, or have you seen the...

I don't know why, as your OP wasn't an argument for the hydroplate theory per se, and this section is for hydroplate theory.

Right. There could some elements of old theories that could still be used as possibility.

I feel certain more theories will arise as time marches on. I look forward to hearing them. And yeah, certain words and phrases trigger thoughts of old theories. Akin to terms like "elect" and "dispensation" that don't mean the same to me as they do to Calvinists and Darbyists even though they...

Don't be ridiculous. I have not rejected the flood as history. The hydroplate theory may become a relic after a while also. But it makes for interesting discussion, and I like conversations that explore varying possibilities. I'm liking this thread. Always nice to have differing possibilities...

Nah, just that it is only an assumption of a possibility. Assumptions can turn out to be true or false.

Yeah, we have no idea how tall hills were before the flood.

#2 makes no sense since God made a covenant that He is the one that would not let it happen again. No need for God to make that covenant if it were not even possible for it to happen again. So #1 is the answer to rely upon.

And there is a lot we don't know. So just being "the best we have so far" is still just an assumption. Because we have other events in scripture that defy laws of physics. So we don't have to assume the flood was due to laws of physics only. It is an explanation of why such vast age...

That's the assumption that the "expanse" that divided the waters was only the crust. I don't see anything in the text that sets that in stone, as the "expanse" God created didn't have to be of one substance, but could be an "expanse" that consisted partially of crust and atmosphere together.

Thanks. It could be that it did happened that way, but we just don't know for sure. I don't find it necessary to align laws of nature to the biblical flood, as it could have been a completely supernatural event apart from what we view as a natural phenomenon. (Not saying you do find it...

We don't know that for sure. If all the water came from below the surface of the earth by natural means of the earth buckling and splitting in areas, then that would seem to indicate that it could happen again. But we know that it can not happen again.

Assumption. It could have been that way, or it could of been some other way. We just don't know. I probably won't get around to reading the book any time soon. I've watched the video you posted, and also others of Dr. Brown's theory. And it says right up front that it is based on assumption...

Based on what??? How could anyone possibly know that???

Where did the water go? That's a good question to ponder even though we may never know for sure since it was a one time event that would never be able to repeat. In other words, the earth would never be able to be engulfed with water again. It seems a bit obvious that extra water (than the...

The topic doesn't have to be in a science section at all. If it's about the biblical flood then it can be in the religion section. You could ask Sherman or JR to move it to Religion.
