If you want to go with a theory that places emphasis on the ocean overrunning the land (and less emphasis on it raining), then I propose this scenario:
That God could have simply (but gently) squeezed the sides of the earth, and the water would then do its thing.
Remember that at the time of the Flood, the earth had one giant supercontinent on it --- some call it Pangaea, I call it Eden.
However you look it, one thing is for certain --- God did it.

Behold, the Creator didst gently squeeze the recalcitrant sphere into a more aesthetically-pleasing disc, and lo, all the waters of heaven puddled into the Circle Sea, and the land split into the four continents, never to be together again.
Thus the Roundworld did become the Discworld.
Describe the mechanism [goddidit] and process [goddidit], please. While you're at it, the timeframe [goddidit] and rationale [goddidit] as well, OK?
That God could have simply (but gently) squeezed the sides of the earth...
So, if you can just find Jehovah's fingerprints on the sides of our planet we'll have undeniable proof of His existence. What are you waiting for?
AV1611VET should be a simple Poe, but his 320,000+ post count says otherwise, so I just don't know...
This guy just gets crazier and crazier. The flood happened on the continent of Pangea, now?
So... God hugged the world and killed a bunch of people? Truly an awesome God, indeed.
AV1611, you rule! You are in a special class with Lonewolf, Norrin Radd, and David J. Stewart.
Thanks for showing the depths of your stupidity time and time again.
Remember that at the time of the Flood, the earth had one giant supercontinent on it --- some call it Pangaea, I call it Eden.
Isn't that what the continent was called during the time of the dinosaurs? Pangaea not Eden.
"That God could have simply (but gently) squeezed the sides of the earth, and the water would then do its thing."
Or god could have spat on the Earth, thus making the oceans larger. Or god could have "poofed" more water into the oceans. Or god could have fucking done it right in the first place .
See, that's the problem with "Goddidit!" There are no wrong answers. Everything is possible and nothing is ever really explained, understood or learned.
"Remember that at the time of the Flood, the earth had one giant supercontinent on it --- some call it Pangaea, I call it Eden."
Supercontinents have come and gone a few times. The one you're specifically referring to, called Pangaea, occurred 180 million years ago . Far before your puny 6000 year time scale would allow for.
"However you look it, one thing is for certain --- God did it."
Yeah? Prove it.
But what if god, in his massive strength, squeezed a little too hard, and the earth popped like a tomato? Anyway, he confesses godditit, so that makes it a fail, even if it is a bit more creative than what AV usually spouts.
Pangaea = Eden? Really?
Also, according to the Bible, Eden existed after the Flood - it was conquered by Assyria.
"Surely you have heard what the kings of Assyria have done to all the countries, destroying them completely. And will you be delivered? Did the gods of the nations that were destroyed by my forefathers deliver them: the gods of Gozan, Haran, Rezeph and the people of Eden who were in Tel Assar?" - 2 Kings 19:12
Once again I ask, why is it that the idea of evolution and continental shift over billions of years is bullshit, but over the last 4,000 years is perfectly rational?
@Mister Spak"Or god could have just dunked the earth in a really big bucket of water."
God is Andrea Yates, now?
If only He could do the same thing to AV...
Wow.
An outright GODDIDIT. I applaud theee, AV1611VET, too many fundies try and hide their GODDIDIT sentiment in word salad, but you, you stand tall and proud, unfettered by the chains of intelligence and dignity.
Also, a bucket of win to Princess Rot for Discworld ref xD
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
