I gave a public talk on the flood once. The Watchtower claims it all came from the canopy though there has been discussion amongst witnesses that the bible could indicate waters burst forth from the water tables below the landmasses. The research I did indicated that the total possible volume of water that can be physically contained in the clouds taking into consideration gravity etc could only cover the globe meters, not the required several kilometers to cover mount Everest. The Society knows this, hence the concept that the earth was far flatter and the mountains rose under the pressure of the flood waters. The huge rearrangement of continents necessary to create the mountains along with the massive volcanoes necessary would have created significant tsunamis that circled the globe, destroying the ark. What this also means is that everything that existed before the flood was destroyed, all evidence of any civilisation would have been totally lost. For the bible flood story to be true it indicates recorded human history can only go back 4000 years. The way to prove that the flood did not happen 4000 years ago as stated in the bible is to look at civilisation itself. There is plenty of evidence of a range of sources that Aboriginals have lived in Australia more then 4000 years. There is also much evidence and time lines of kings that prove Egyptian history went back more then 4000 years. Quite simply, it is scientifically, genetically and archealogically impossible for a global flood 4000 years ago.
