THE FLOOD
“The idea of a regional flood is incorrect because if it were regional, rather than flowing north, the ark would have floated south, to the Persian Gulf, since all flood water flows south.”

Gen1:6-7
“God said, ‘Let there be a firmament (the atmosphere) in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters.’ Thus God made the firmament, and divided the waters which were under the firmament (oceans, seas, etc.) from the waters which were above the firmament (water vapor canopy); and it was so.”
