> For the nail in the coffin: Enough water to bury Mt. Everest. 
> Mt Everest is 8,848m above sea level. For every 67m of sea level rise, we need 24M (M = million) water. 8848/67= 132. So to cover Mt. Everest, we need 24*132= 3169 million or 3.169 BILLION km^3 more water. If you see the above statement, we estimate the volume of the ocean at 1.37Bn. So, we need about 2.2 times more water than currently exists.

> This is not possible.-I agreed in my book. Genesis stipulates that the waters covered the highest mountain by 20 feet. but there is evidence of a Black Sea flood, still disputed, but about 8-9,000 years ago. It has to be a local story. Again, kangaros, llamas, platypus, etc., two by two?
