Sorry but I keep rephrasing the question to possibly get it through some thick heads, so then maybe the question would be answered without so much extraneous info and opinions. Lol These are reworded again, below. What I'm looking for: 1. The volume of heaviest rainfall known to man for a specific time period (for example, an hour, a minute) rounded to 3 decimal points. 2. The volume needed to fill current Earth surface to 22' (or 6.706 meters) above highest known crust elevation (which seems to be Mt Everest). And possibly using a compared average elevation such as the 2nd reply to this question below presents? But it's sources are unknown... https://www.quora.com/What-is-the-average-elevation-of-Earth-above-the-ocean-including-land-area-below-sea-level-What-is-the-atmospheric-pressure-at-that-elevation 3. The volume of water required from subterranean source to make up the difference the 40 days/nights of rain would not drop onto the world. The water is available on and in the Earth, so it seems from recent discoveries. That's assumed available, but how is another day's topic. Thanks.

Ooooh now the incomplete sarcasms come out. Lol. To whom it concerns: I've been posting random questions, maybe half dozen a year, if that, on forums since 2002ish. It is almost always the same toxic culture of bad debate skills. Even when I'm not asking for a debate. I've not seen anywhere that an internet forum is translated or defined as "be a cyber punkass". I'm so sorry if you're lonely but realize not everyone is looking to engage with toxic behavior. If anyone knows of an online source that has calculated a days (24 hours) heavy rainfall volume, across the globe, I'd like to reference that, even if you're the calculator. I would think the calculation could employ a record rainfall figure, as in heaviest volumes ever dumped over any area and then applied globally. Thanks!

Can everyone who is not helping the way I asked just stop commenting please? I appreciate the chit chat, like over a beer and smoke, but I'm not into online debating. I'm in Western CO if you'd like to meet up for in person discussion. I asked for calculations or references to completed calculations of the amount of water from two sources, the rain and the subterranean flow upward, to flood the current world's surface to about 22' over the highest elevation.

This article says there is more water in the Earth than on it also, per USGS: https://www.livescience.com/29673-how-much-water-on-earth.html And this one proposes another way the existing water in the oceans could have been manipulated to flood the whole surface: https://christiananswers.net/q-aig/aig-floodwater.html Maybe the water didn't come from the subterranean areas through large cracks or holes appearing on land, but rather from the oceans, either the water in them and returned (as proposed above), or it came from cracks and holes that opened up on the ocean floors and then returned the same way.

Thanks. This conversation is going very much as I envisioned, lol. Don't worry, same way on the other forum. Lol On the other forum, the Christian one, I was given the ringwoodite article as well. It suggests that the trapped water in that layer of mineral/rock would fill the world's oceans roughly 3 times. https://www.extremetech.com/extreme/184564-scientists-discover-an-ocean-400-miles-beneath-our-feet-that-could-fill-our-oceans-three-times-over I was also referred to another article and that writer (an atheist) believed the amount of water to flood the Earth's surface, such as described in Genesis 7 would be less than 3 times the Earth's ocean present volume. I don't recall the exact amount. But it only considered the rain factor and no subterranean water. It appears the folks on a mission to disprove biblical history could read the details a little more completely. Lol https://medium.com/@AndrewLSeidel/how-much-water-would-be-needed-for-noahs-flood-ef3145ae1945 Between these articles it seems there is not only a possibility the water could come from subterranean sources but that it would be enough and then some to do so. So that's interesting! Thanks and I'll continue to review any answers!

Hi I’m a fictional writer now by trade but I’m composing a short educational work that talks about Creation Science and how it can possibly jive in many areas with other scientific discoveries or theories apart from Christian creation science. I’m not debating the issues against each other, but looking to expose how they can and do appear to be complimentary of each other when they are examined differently than the opponents of any group commonly seem to do. I’m posting this in two different independent forums. One is a Christian forum with creation science topics in it, and the other is a non-religious affiliated science forum. I tried to pick forums that had equal popularity and discussion traffic. I may have to post it in more if I do not get responses. So just that you know I’m a scientific friendly person in my professional experiences and I’m not the typical Christian believer who knows very little to nothing in regards to science, history, and other world religions. I’m definitely not an atheist or creator-less type either. I know a lot about my own faith in Christianity. I’ve worked as a civil engineer, computer systems engineer, federal investigator (computer/fraud/economic crimes), and my education degrees are in civil engineering, computer systems and networks engineering, and business administration with an emphasis in investment management and economic fraud detection and prevention. Some of my hobbies are making good friendships, learning new stuff and reexamining my old knowledge, target shooting, fishing, and mentoring my children. So let’s get to it... In Genesis Chapter 7, it says, “11 In the six hundredth year of Noah’s life, in the second month, the seventeenth day of the month, on that day all the fountains of the great deep were broken up, and the windows of heaven were opened. 12 And the rain was on the earth forty days and forty nights.” All the English translations agree that some version of “the great deep” was mentioned, and this indicates that water not only rained from the sky but came from the ground and/or from under the seas. I’ve been searching for someone who has calculated this scenario: Using modern historical weather data of heavy rainfall quantities, if we calculate how much water would fall if it steadily and heavily rained over 40 days (or 960 hours), over all of the Earth, how much water from “the great deep” would be necessary to completely cover every existing mountain top we currently have in our modern era? I’ve seen some online discussions of just rainfall not being enough to cover the highest existing peaks on our current landmasses, but no one made up the difference, or considered, with water from the ground (a.k.a. underground aquifers) also contributing to the flood. I’m not asking where the water would come from that rained and/or came from the deep. I’m not considering the ultimate water sources or their storage locations. I’m assuming the amount of water was available between the atmospheric water and underground water. I’m only curious in the amount of water, from two sources--rainfall and underground, it would take on the current Earth’s surface and what amount would be needed by the sub-surface water (“fountains of the great deep”) to cover all the Earth’s surface and it’s highest peaks by about 22 feet. Does this make sense? If you want to also comment on how such huge amounts of water accumulating on the Earth’s surface might affect the landmasses/surface elevations, shapes of the continents, etc, and how massive erosion would sweep huge portions of the Earth’s surface around as it subsided and flowed downward again, that would be welcomed. I think it’s a given that massive amounts of water flowing downward (back into the Earth and seas) would cause massive land carving, so where is the evidence of that in archaeological findings? What has been found in the oceans that could have originated from landmasses in the Earth’s current mountain ranges? If the great Genesis flood wasn't 100% across all earthen landmasses, what might show that (the north and south poles, etc)? What if snowfall/ice fell instead in the colder climates? I’m just throwing out a couple of questions for brainstorming. Thank you and I’ll be sure to give you credit for anything I use. It’s a not for profit paper I’m writing so I’m sorry I can’t pay you! lol
