Many point to another supposed contradiction between
the Bible and modern science. In the book of Genesis,
we read that thousands of years ago the wickedness of
men was so great that God determined to destroy them.
However, he instructed the righteous man Noah to build
a large wooden vessel, an ark. Then God brought a flood
upon mankind. Only Noah and his family survived, together
with representatives of all the animal species. The Flood
was so great that "all the tall mountains that were under
the whole heavens came to be covered."-Genesis 7:19.

Where did all the water come from to cover the whole earth?
The Bible itself answers. Early in the creation process, when
the expanse of the atmosphere began to take shape, there
came to be "waters . . . beneath the expanse" and "waters . . .
above the expanse." (Genesis 1:7; 2 Peter 3:5) When the
Flood came, the Bible says: "The floodgates of the heavens
were opened." (Genesis 7:11) Evidently, the "waters . . .
above the expanse" fell and provided much of the water
for the inundation.

Actually, while that is true, it isn't where most of the water
came from. If it did, the Earth would not have recovered.

"In the six hundredth year of Noah's life, in the second
month, the seventeenth day of the month, the same day
WERE ALL THE FOUNTAINS OF THE GREAT DEEP
BROKEN UP, and the windows of heaven were opened."
- Genesis 7:11

That's where most of the water came from. :)

and there's me thinking that ocean spray was cranberry juice.
