The flood in Genesis is recorded as covering 15 cubits (around 20 feet) above the highest mountain (Genesis 7:20). It is also known that if the earth were flat (but of course remained circular as it has always been) with no mountains or hills, then water would cover the earth to a height of several miles. An underground sea under East Asia the size of the Arctic Ocean has also been discovered through seismic surveys. Thus there is also much water under the earth. It is also known that large-scale techtonic events can happen quickly as demonstrated by Dr John Baumgartner, a world-leader in the fild of plate techtonics. This could also include mountains being thrust upwards rapidly. In this regard many mountains of the world, including Everest are known to have marine fossils near their summits. Such of course can only form under water.

These scientific facts suggest that there may be more to the Genesis flood in terms of fact than many would care to admit.
