ohhhhh, no no no no no no. my favorite part of this whole clusterfuck is when AIG submitted their concept art of the ark to actual designers. the inside of the ark was just wall to wall animal cages literally stacked on top of eachother. and the zoo folks were all like “nnnnnnnnno… you can’t… do that.”
“Noah didn’t have to have bathrooms! All he had were thousands of live animals in an enclosed space for a year!”
…where would a planet’s worth of floodwater drain TO, exactly?
actual real YEC answer:
before the flood, it was easier to cover up the world with water because the world’s topography was flatter
but the flood itself involved upheaving the continents in violent ways, pulling water from both the skies AND under the ground itself
and so when the dust settled, water doesn’t cover continents anymore
the continents that the flood created
as pangaea unformed overnight, you see
africa, north america, antarctica… these were all zooming around on the planet’s surface at hundreds of miles an hour, homing in on their current location
…
anyway, any young earth creationist answer just uncovers more stupid
