Did the writers of that watchtower [article] in the OP even read what they wrote? They say, themselves, that the canopy would have blocked sunlight! How in the he** could there have been any life, let alone wickedness, to merit a flood???
While there was diffused light on the first creative day, the sun was visible through the overcast, and nothing changed in this regard on the second creative day when the waters above, which became the water canopy, were separated from the waters below, which were our oceans, until the fourth creative day, for only then did the source of the light become visible on earth. The word "blocked" used in this article is just a way of describing the diffused light from the sun through the "vast water canopy suspending high in space and all around our globe."
Oooohhhh, so diffused is the same as blocked. I get it!
Not that it's going to do anybody *cough, djeggnog, cough, cough* any good, but, just so I have a little back-up, I looked up "block" & "diffuse" at Oxford Dictionaries.com and low and behold........they are nothing alike!
If the writer of that '80 WT meant diffused, he would have used DIFFUSED, not blocked!
