Or that story is taken from Abraham. I think he was around then, right?

You need to read ancient Sumerian text, The Epic of Gilgamesh if I remember correctly.
The biblical story of the flood is directly ripped off from that culture.
Correct. My math is not one of my highlights and quite crude, but to give you a basic idea of what it might look like, Ice would have to cover the entire Antarctica continent, 141 miles high, in order to uncover the deepest archeological sites. And I seriously doubt you can stack ice that high.

This was extremely hard to put into words:
Earth's ancient ocean levels were so low, that the current water volume cannot be explained by the differences in the ancient and current glacial ice sheets' volumes?
And the differences in water volumes must have been caused by a lot of water being later added to Earth, which gave Earth its current volume of water; but then a subsequent expansion of Earth would be required to lower the water levels, to thereby leave Earth with its current land surface to water ratio?
Thus, great evidence for a global flood?
Thank you.

You might have a point there. I have seen videos of an asian underwater sight that absolutely blew my mind.
Sorry for not having the name ready.
It would still leave the challenge to see where the water came from, though.
Some people are in favour of a weird "water canopy" that I have already heard of. But that is not reasonable at all.edit on 7-4-2013 by Nightaudit because: spelling

My adapted theory is that, there is too much water here on Earth. It did not start off with this much water. We are only allowed to consider, by the institutions, that it has always been here. But what if? We know Meteors and dust fall on earth every day, its a fact. Why not consider the same when it comes to water? Why not allow for the possibility?
