Without restating the Bible, I would surmise the excess water is where the North and South Poles are.
How about you tell me where the water from the Poles came from?

I might have said more, but Cofty disqualified me from further discussion :)
Then they have forfeited their place in any rational discussion.

Elderlite,
I understand the question, but suppose you look at it from his point of view. He views the Bible as having authority, therefore he quotes from the Bible to come to a conclusion.
This is not a bad thing in itself.
I could quote to you from a book on astronomy and give you the reference. You might take what I say as truth because I am quoting from a published work.
In this situation, you have a book, or 66 of them, that are believed by a lot of people to be God' Word. That is all the authority they need.
The doubters and skeptics don't believe the Bible or only believe portions of it, therefore they cannot accept the Word as the final authority on anything.
This is a situation where neither side can convince the other side of their viewpoint. It's not check mate, it's stalemate.

Poopsie,
No offense taken, I can laugh at myself :)
BTW Elderlite, I am also taking the discussion seriously, I'm not a troll

Round 4....
Cofty, I see what you're saying about Dr. Mortenson. I agree that there is bias there but having said that, I don't think it's impossible to be a scientist and a Christian. I see no problem with using science to prove the Bible, unfortunately, this does not go down well in the academic world.
Although his education is quite diverse, I would not say he knows nothing about geology, to get a Phd would require a peer reviewed dissertation. It's no cakewalk.
I used his example of the depth of the flood waters because he said it better than I could and thetrueone wanted to know how high the flood waters were. All I did was look on the net, no harm in that.
I think the scriptures are saying that the height of the water was 15 cubits above the highest mountain, that's why when the waters went down, the ark rested on a mountain.

elderlite,
I asked someone about the warlock appearing on TV, apparently it was a talk show interview that was broadcast sometime in the '90s.
I am not using this as evidence for my beliefs, it was just an interesting experience to relate.

I'm quoted the Dr. intially to show how high the waters of the flood were but you decided to take it one step further and attack the man.

No, ziddina, you're quite wrong there. Does it make you feel better to poke fun at my screen name?

Tell me Cofty, what is it Dr. Mortenson is not qualified to do?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geology
Geology is the science comprising the study of solid Earth, the rocks of which it is composed, and the processes by which it evolves. Geology gives insight into the history of the Earth, as it provides the primary evidence for plate tectonics, the evolutionary history of life, and past climates.
