More than 70% of the earth being cover by water is a good clue. Scientists don't know how the water got there.

I'm pretty sure even the bible claim that the water were created during the first week, and not during the flood. the question isn't the water existence, but its quantity. there isn't enough water on earth for such global flood.
most important, science doesn't know yet is not the same as GODDIDIT.
Tim Vine (sings): "Is it a banana or is it a torch? Is it a banana or is it a torch? Is it a banana or is it a torch?" (Throws object to Ray)
Ray Comfort: "It's a torch that looks like a banana! Behold, the atheist's nightmare!!"
" 1 In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. 2 And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the *waters*." - Emphasis mine
So by your own holy book, the water was there before the flood.
Interesting...
Ray, Ray, Ray, you have not the slightest idea how to comprehend what science says. But trust you to mistranslate anything to your advantage....
Ray Comfort is such a hypocrite. He claims to follow jesus, yet he lies, bears false witness, and hasn't even begin to sell anything he has and give to the poor.
Actually, Genesis 1 says there was already water in existence before God started creating things. Such an interpretation brings the bible in line with other ancient Near Eastern creation myths, and points to the likelihood that creation ex nilo (creation out of nothing) isn't taught in Genesis.
I'm sure Ray would be open to this possibility.
For those who aren't aware, Ray here is referring to his "documentary" on Noah's ark. At one point, he asks the usual troupe of random people on the street how "the water" got on earth. To inflate the credibility of his argument, Ray also talks to a geology professor, who explains that water likely arrived on Earth via comets. Ray has two rebuttals to this.
Seriously guys, get ready. What Ray said next is easily stupider than his musings on bananas.
1). First, Ray asks the professor "did the fish and whales come on comets?" The professor is stunned by Ray's stupidity. A ticker on the screen explains that Ray is referring to the theory that life arrived on Earth via comets. I figured that even creationists were smart enough to realize that panspermia refers to simple prokaryotes rather than modern marine chordates like whales. Apparently not.

You are referring to someone that is stupid enough to think that male and female humans evolved side by side, with each reproducing "after their own kind" by "splitting in half" and that they somehow coincidentally evolved compatible sex organs and processes, after which they began to reproduce sexually.
"Darwin theorized that mankind (both male and female) evolved alongside each other over millions of years, both reproducing after their own kind before the ability to physically have sex evolved. They did this through “asexuality” (“without sexual desire or activity or lacking any apparent sex or sex organs”). Each of them split in half (“Asexual organisms reproduce by fission (splitting in half).”
Ray Comfort gets it half right.
Was the Earth a barren desert planet before the flood? How did it sustain life? The fact that there is the presence of oceans on Earth isn't indicative of a global flood. There are competing hypotheses in science over this, ranging from water being brought from comets and asteroids to being a result of the Earth's differentiation as it began to cool to being the products of volcanic activity. Of course you'll just rubbish all the evidence for these with the simplistic and unfalsifiable claim that Goddidit, which is not scientific.
But in Creationist world, the Earth was covered by a giant, thick canopy of water that according to physics would've turned the Earth into a planet like Venus but magically didn't that also gave everyone centuries long lifespans. One day it just suddenly fell to Earth after God told an old guy to build a giant boat, and that was the Flood.
Totally makes sense.
So, Ray, have you started killing misbehaving children? What about homosexuals? What about witches? What about adulterers? What about those that work on the sabbath? What about those that wear mixed fabrics? Let me see your clothes labels, Ray...
Why don't you follow your bible, Ray?
Ray, you've said "science" merely means "knowledge". So what do these "scientists" do, Ray? What do "knowledgists" do, Ray?
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
