My question is,,what happen to all the air which was displaced from the surface of the earth when the water rose to the height of Mt. Everest,,???:eek:

If you have a container of any kind and you pour water into it, what happens to the air it displaces?

What happens to the air level when you have localised flooding?
Answer your own question.

The Polar ice caps are melting, sea levels rise, if the land unburdened of the weight of ice does not rise in tandem with rising sea-levels you or your great-grandchildren may well find out the answer to that question.

In the mean time I could suggest you carry out this simple experiment. Put some ice in a glass and fill to the brim, then observe what happens to the water level when the ice melts. The result may surprise you.

When the volcano in Ancient Thira,(Santorini), exploded, the resultant sunami is credited by some experts as having wiped out the ancient Minoan civilisation on Crete, giving rise to legends of Atlantis.

There is evidence all over the World, that sea-levels were once higher than they are at present.

that is not an answer,,,if we took all the ships out of the water, would the sea level fall enough to prove that the melting of the ice does not cause the sea level to rise,,???when you put a ship into the water, the water displaced has to go somewhere,,,,but all the air at the height of Mt Everest, what would happen to it, the pressure of the air, just what???:eek:

I'm not a physicist, but I assume that as air is less dense than water as the sea-level might rise, the air would be pushed upwards. What is now pressure at sea-level at present, would still be pressure at sea-level at the new level.

As water is composed of two atoms of hydrogen to one of oxygen, increased water should mean increased oxygen. To off-set this less vegetation would mean less absorption of carbon dioxide

The story in the Bible, does not mention Everest by name, merely that the floods covered the highest peak. As I understand it mountains can vary in height over many years, as the tectonic plates push against each other, forcing the upward movement. Just as the Colorado River was at the top of the Grand Canyon and is now approximately a mile below the surface.

It mentions the dimensions of the ark 450x75x45 feet. The ratio of length to width 6 to 1 is the most stable known and is used for the design of modern tankers and freight hauling ships. The displacement would have been around 43,000 tons of water, and capable of carrying a cargo of 20,000 tons.

According to the story, the flood lasted twelve and a half months, with the Ark coming to rest on the mountains of Ararat on the fifth month. Two months later the other mountains peaks became visible.

After another 40 days, Noah is said to have released a raven which never returned. As a scavenger and carrion eater it could sustain itself without returning to the Ark.

He also released a dove, but it returned to the ark. After another seven days he released it again and it returned with a fresh olive twig in its beak. After another seven days he released it again and it did not return. At this they all left the Ark.

That you do not believe the Biblical story is obvious, if it had referred to the known World that was inhabited by Mankind at the time, would it be more credible to you?

If not then what exactly is the purpose of your thread? To have a sly dig at Judeo-Christian beliefs? Can it really matter to you that much, what they believe?

LOL As an old diver we used to have a saying that we'd dive on the low tide so we wouldnt have go as deep but stuff me stupid if the dive site was 120ft at high tide the bloody depth was the same at low tide.....work that one out.

Cheers Chook :bigrin:
