We really don't know how the flood waters affected the Earth after they assuaged, a flat Earth could have been rounded with the force of all that water leaving the planet. Even Noah couldn't have known and he'd be the only one to tell.

That's the best piece of global flood bs that I have ever heard and you managed to explain the flat Earth part of the Bible too. Well, congratulations your insane stupidity caused me to laugh out loud for a good several minutes. Even now I still have the chuckles that come and go. I keep picturing a cartoon character who is flattened and blows into his thumb to return to normal. Too funny.
That's a new one.
Oh, and not only is it a fictional story, it's also a blatant rip-off, like most of Abrahamic mythology.
Ok, assuming this person is correct, the 'force' of drawing the water away from a flat surface, if great enough, would cause the surface to curve INWARD, and thus we would be living on the inside of a huge earth bubble, not the outside of a solid sphere.
I've read books about worlds like that, where you had to burrow into them, and they had little tiny white holes in the center that emitted light and reverse-gravity, pushing the outer wall of the sphere away... was pretty cool!
Mister Spak -
"Where did the water go after it left?"
Don't be silly! After the flood made the Earth round, the extra water, like, just fell off the bottom!
I mean, DUH!
Sweet fucking Christ, someone actually managed to read through The Silmarillion? I got like 2 pages in before falling into a coma. My hat is off to you, sir.
Tell me about it. What utter crap it is. But there's worse if you want to really torture yourself: take a canter through Unfinished Tales .....
Noah's story was stolen from a Babylonian myth, and a bunch of other sources.
Besides, what happened to all the water? Clouds? No can do--that much water in the atmosphere would mean total cloud cover over the planet. Ice? Again, no can do. Even if the poles totally melt, it won't be enough water to drown everything. Wipe out a lot of coastaland, sure, but not the entire planet.
Fuck your lack of brains.
@PhoenixUltima and jouster:
Oh yes, I agree. I think I got about a chapter and a half in. It was so incredibly dry...
Unfinished Tales? I have that. My parents gave it to me for a birthday once. I haven't touched it yet and probably never will...
Shouldn't you start with evidence and from them figure out what happened? You can't start with a story and then cut, knead and slap the evidence to fit that story. It. Just. Won't. Work.
Why couldn't Noah have known? Wasn't he there, supposedly, when it happened?
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
