That's the way God destroyed the earth, besides Noah and his family, with two of every animal. And Jesus did fast for the same amount of time, and the Jews wandered for forty years in the desert during the Exodus from Egypt.

If it rained for forty days and forty nights, there would be localised flooding, but at least the water would run away, down the rivers and into the sea. There is no chance of the entire world being inundated.

How much water would be on the Earth if it rained 40 days and 40 nights?

That would depend upon where it was raining (the whole Earth or less than that), and how powerfully. The atmosphere contains 37,500,000,000,000,000 gallons of water. Concerning Noah's Flood, we have to note that the water came from subterranean sources also, and that its covering of the mountains may not have occurred on the entire Earth simultaneously.See also:Evidence of the Flood


Is it proper English to say what it is is?

'What if...? requires more information, a condition.Examples# 'What if it never rained?' means 'What would happen if it never rained?' # What if I forget my password? means 'What would happen if I forget my password.Usage:The conditional expression 'What if ...(+ condition) ' is often used. It is proper English. It means 'What would happen if ...(condition)?'The full expression can be said, i.e. What would happen if ...(+ condition)..? or the words 'would happen' can be omitted because they are implied in the question. All English-speaking listeners know that 'would happen' is implied if you just say 'What if ...(something)?You might be thinking 'But what if no-one understands me?'Don't worry! They will!
