A Flood of Evidence Against a Flood - Part 1 - (Volume)

This is the first of three videos that aim to completely debunk the flood myth with hard science and simple mathematics

All figures are obtained from Wikipedia, which while not being the best reference source available, is generally accurate for our purposes and is readily available for anyone to check my figures if they wish

The calculations mentioned in this video are as follows:

Height of Mt Everest above sea level
8,848 m = 8.848 km

Area of the surface of the earth
510,072,000 Km2

Volume of floodwaters required to cover the earth to a depth of the height of mount Everest
8.848 x 510,072,000 = 4,513,117,056 km3

If half of this flood water came from below the ground and half of this water came from a vapour canopy in the Earth's atmosphere then...

2,256,558,528 Km3 of water was in the vapour cloud

1 km3 = 1,000,000,000 m3
1 m3 is approximately equal to 1 tonne

Therefore the vapour cloud weighed...
2,256,558,528,000,000,000 tonnes

If the earth was a tropical paradise before the flood as we are told then it would be safe to assume that the air temperature was around 30'C and air at 30'C cannot hold more than 30g/m2 of water or the water will condense (100% humidity).

1tonne = 1,000kg = 1,000,000g

30g/m2 = 0.00003kg/m2

Therefore it can be asserted that the vapour cloud had a volume of:

75,218,617,600,000,000,000,000 m3

This is equal to
75,220,000,000,000 km3

The volume of the Planet Neptune is
62,540,000,000,000 km3

Therefore the volume of the vapour cloud is greater than the volume of Neptune which has a diameter of about 49,528km. The diameter of the cloud is actually over 52,000km

Pressure at sea level was calculated as follows:
If half of the water required to flood the earth was in the Earth's atmosphere as a vapour cloud then that is a quantity equivalent to 4,424m of overall flood water.
1m3 of water is roughly equivalent to 1 tonne

Therefore on any single 1m2 of the earth surface at sea level 4,424m3 of water would be exerting a downward pressure giving a pressure of 4,424tonnes per m2 which is equivalent to 426 atmospheres

If the Noah and all the animals were used to living under such high pressures they would have died as this pressure rapidly dropped over a period of 40 days to just one atmosphere.

In the second part of this series we will look in more detail at the implications of having a Neptune sized cloud of water vapour in the Earth's atmosphere would have on Noah and his animals

If you wish to argue any of the points made in this video I would love to hear from you

Another great video on the same subject that uses a slightly different and more acurate method of calculating the volume of flood water required:

You could make your estimates for the water required more accurate in several ways: (1) Not sure the bible ever said Everest was covered although Ararat is mentioned (5165m) (2) You could subtract out the volume of the land mass above sea level (searching for average elevation of continents I found a pdf with Ant: 1.8km, Asia 0.9km, N. Am 0.6km, Africa 0.6km, S. Am 0.5km, Aust 0.3km, & Eur 0.3km and their areas are 1.4e7km2, 4.45e7km2, 2.47e7km2, 3.02e7em2, 1.78e7km2, 8.5e6km2, & 1.0e7km2)

[blaine81]

@blaine81 Sorry ran out of space. The 2 things above give a better lower bound (which will still be absurdly high) To improve accuracy compute the volume of water is to treat the earth as a perfect sphere (use it's smallest radius of about 6,353 km) compute it's volume (my estimate gives 1.074e12km3 & wiki est. is 1.083e12km3) then compute vol of sphere adding height of water (using Arafat gives vol. of 1.076e12km3) and take diff (2.62e9km3) and subtract continent vol (1.12e8) for (2.5e9km3)

[blaine81]

@blaine81 If you do use Everest instead of Arafat and then do the shell estimate minus the continent land volume (above sea level) that I mentioned before, you get a number that is very close to your estimate, 4.381e9km3. But if you're willing to give them that perhaps only Arafat was submerged, you still get the 2.5e9 I mentioned earlier, which is almost half what you estimated, but still absurd. With only 1 km of water after subtracting out all the continent vol. you get 3.31e8 km3.

[paulchartley]

@blaine81 No matter how you slice it and how much you are willing to give them the numbers still come out as multiples of the amount of water presently on the planet.

If all the water presently in the atmosphere fell as rain right now, the depth of the flood would only be 20mm, that's less than an inch and wouldn't even cover your shoe.

To get to a depth that will float the ark at sea level would require more water than the atmosphere could hold.

[paulchartley]

@blaine81 I happily concede that there is a lot that can be done to make the figures a lot more accurate.

I readily urge people to look at it themselves and do a more accurate calculation and you get a big gold star for doing so :0)

When I did the more accurate calculations I then worked it through again to find the most simple method of getting near to those figures which ended up as the surface area of the planet multiplied by the 8km depth as after all 2/3rds of it is already at sea level

[paulchartley]

@blaine81 Most people unfortunately will not go looking for the raw data unless it is put in front of them and if the maths are too hard then they give up.

Here I tried to uncomplicate things as much as possible.

In the grand scale of things, deducting the average height of the land above sea level by adding up each continent and subtracting it from the overall figure was negligible but I concede your point that it should be done if you want a more accurate figure

[blazereef]

its sad that you have to debunk noahs ark, you would think that people would have enough common sense and atleast some scientific knowlege that would allow them to figure it out themselfs but thanks for doing your part to educate the masses, the ones who are open to the education, most will just shut their ears and eyes and go "lalalalalalala"

[MrScienceandReason]

Videos like this will give rational people ammunition to help counter the child abuse that is religious indoctrination. Does anyone else object to your tax dollars being spent on teaching fairy tales to helpless children? The war is in the classrooms of the world where education is being hijacked by the various "faiths". I suggest taking an active educational role in any children you come into contact with; give fun, scientific educational gifts instead of Barbie dolls and footballs.

@InternetDarkLord i give up then im done water isnt my strong suite as you can tell im just printing rhetoric i read somewhere not exactly word for word mind. im not that smart but i am smart at the same time. goes to show dont put everything you read on youtube

[InternetDarkLord]

@HyperMoeMan Different rivers are different volumes, plus have different slopes from source to mouth. Canyons are different sizes and depths. And there are many dating methods used in science, your comments are very ignorant.

[HyperMoeMan]

@InternetDarkLord why not the same amount of time for each river? how exactly does that work either all the rivers were made at the same time with the exact same amount of erosion factors and flow force takeing into account the amount of water added through natural flooding due to more rain. or they were made seperately over the course of multiple years but the flow and force are different again takeing into account for rain fall and natural floods.

[InternetDarkLord]

@HyperMoeMan Other canyons have also eroded for millions of years. And the same amount of time has not passed for every river, that is absurd. Nor would they be the same depth if different rivers are involved anyway.

[HyperMoeMan]

@InternetDarkLord i didnt say the grand canyon was the deapest now did i. i know there are deeper canyons around the world. now the same amount of time has passed for each river and the erosion factor for each river being the same as the one in the grand canyon then by that logic the depth of every canyon would be the same would it not. is what i was trying to say

[InternetDarkLord]

@HyperMoeMan Wrong, there are other deep canyons in highlands (the Grand Canyon is not the deepest one) and the canyon has been eroding for over 6 million years.
