== Genesis Flood account ==

Genesis provides the most detailed account of the global deluge, including specific dates, measurements, and even some key geological events during the flood.  Consequently, flood geologists use it as a starting point for understanding the events of the deluge.  Based on the Genesis account, flood geologists argue that the flood resulted from subterranean water erupting to the surface ("the springs of the great deep burst forth" <ref>Genesis 7:11, NIV</ref>), combined with 40 days and nights of rain. Although the rain stopped after 40 days, the flood waters continued to rise for 150 days, and lasted just over a year before Noah and the others on the boat were able to leave. During the flood, there was massive tectonic activity, including some land rising up and other land dropping, such that the waters ended up in newly-deepened oceans. All the animals and birds (except those on the ark), and large numbers of sea creatures perished, and many of them were buried so quickly that they became fossils, accounting for the vast majority of fossils existing today.

That is impossible, as the only way water can escape from the deep earth, is as steam, which would proceed to sterilize the entire planet. Furthermore, the atmosphere can only hold up to 160,000 liters of water per day, far lower than required to "cover the highest mountains".
