The great flood was accompanied by a cataclysm, probably an earthquake of great magnitude. As the new ocean floors cooled, they would have become denser and sunk, allowing water to flow off the continents. Movement of the water off the continents and into the oceans would have weighed down the ocean floor and lightened the continents, resulting in the further sinking of the ocean floor, as well as upward movement of the continents. The deepening of the ocean basins and the rising of the continents would have resulted in more water running off the land.

Measurements suggest that Everest is currently rising at up to 15 centimeters (six inches) per year. So, the possibilites are that:
1. the sea rose to cover the mountains
2. or the mountains were once under the sea and have since risen out of the sea,
3. or a combination of the two.

As for your ad-hominem arguments, they add nothing to the debate and lessen your stature. I am making a conscious effort to refrain from these snide comments when I can't seem to convince someone else of my point of view. The fact that you don't see things as I do indicates that maybe I am not doing as good a job of explaining as I could, or you just don't want to see it, or you are not able to understand the issue. The bottom line is - it is my issue to deal with.

There are two wolves inside us all; one good, one bad. The one that grows is the one we feed.
