Exactly. The ocean depth averages are 12,000 ft , with trenches deeper then 30,000 feet. In addition to all the water now existing in all the oceans, ocean volume would need to (approximately) double to get the water level high enough to rise 30,000 feet. That's enough water to make the oceans rise straight up 30, 000 feet. Additional water would be needed to cover all land mass up to 30,000 feet. Everest is 29,032 ft. So way more then double all current water on earth's surface .... is now in "the Pacific Ocean is really huge, it's huge"

If all the world rejects Christianity, that is also consistent with the Bible. Firmament, or no firmament, the Bible is consistent with both models.

Andrew first price the existence of any God using evidence, then we'll discuss the bible as a work of fiction

[@grantlousich8534]

Andrew was doing great until evidence was asked for. Unfortunately he had no idea what the word meant and never will.

[@RO-oc4bk]

In Genesis 7:19 - 20, water covered the entire land and even the highest mountain peak was 15 cubits under the water. So, this means when the flood occurred, Noah was struck by the scientific urge to know how deep the water was and he and his family frantically rowed the ark with full of animals to the Himalayas (and with incredible accuracy. I have to point out that using traditional navigation method, it is normal to have tens, if not hundreds of miles of margin of error, and in ancient times, they had none of these methods and equipment), measured the depth (without grounding the ark), then rowed back to the original place within 40days.

Things happened, people see it, make story, if they can't explain it then "God". What part do they not understand?

[@philipinchina]

So that's Genesis proven. Exodus next?

[@Alexander-x3g1h]

Um, the hosts, very politely, proved Genesis false. If you were being sarcastic, apologies.

[@philipinchina]

@@Alexander-x3g1h Yes, satire.

[@MalodorousGcko-v8t]

If the story of Noah is true, it proves that God is a sadistic, malevolent, evil being. He could have just made the people cease to be; he could have sent his angel of death (as in Egypt) and have everyone die in their sleep; but no, he thought it would be best to drown everyone -- women, children, babies, pregnant women: everyone. All the animals were just collateral damage. Sadistic, nasty, and definitely someone not worthy of worship.

Andrew keeps calling these shows just to "show off" his knowledge and theories and to prove how smart he is. I think he needs to hear that he just keeps proving the opposite every time.

Since Jeanne Louise Clamant Lived to be 122 years 164 days I think the caller is full of donkey dust. 21 February 1875 - 4 August 1997. She was born and died in the same city Aries, Bouches de Rhône, Provence, France. I always wonder why these folks don't check the easily available data. hugs to all

[@jacquespoulemer]

Arles not Aries. sorry bout dat

[@Devious_Dave]

'Monocular bible-creationist talks to binocular people.' Andrew should assess reality from outside his bubble.

[@depauw2004]

I wonder who that caller voted for.

[@davidforbes4004]

No you don't.

[@GitzenShiggles]

There's no cell service in Hell. Bring stamps.

[@steveking3340]

What's a year?

[@LilPitch-]

dude...Did God cause the ice age?

[@johnaugsburger6192]

How did Noah round up them Polar Bears in the North Pole?

[@rgarlinyc]

You are expecting too much when you say to him "For the sake of argument let's say is true.." as he simply does not understand the hypothetical construct. To him, his IS TRUE and so he simply cannot comprehend any instance where it would/ could not be.
