Jeff,

As to the question about there 'not being enough water on the Earth to
flood it' please consider this:

1. Such calculations are impossible to make with certainty.  Who REALLY
knows how much water
is locked in iceburgs, at the Poles and under the Earth and in the
clouds?  No one. Such comments are pure speculation.

2. In the days of Noah the Earth may have been much more flat than it is
today. Thus not needing as
much water to cover it.

Recall what happened next.  The Fountains of the Deep exploded.  The
earths canopy broke up and
cast its liquid load upon the Earth.  Tens of thousands of Volcanos
erupted.  Every inch of the Earths geography was changed.
So even if it could be proven that there is not enough water to cover the
Earth as we know it,, does not prove that
there was not enough to cover the Earth as Noah knew it.

3. Concerning how the animals got to the ark; here is my theory:.

Every one knows that animals have a sixth sense. During the recent
destructive Tsunami in Indonesia, very few
animals died? Why? They sensed something coming and headed up hill.

The location where Noah built the Ark must have been on high ground.
Thus, prior to the mighty forces of nature being
unleashed before the Flood, all the animals sensed it way ahead of time,
and headed up hill... right to the location of the Ark!

Hallelu-YAH,
