5 ¶
And Noah did according unto all that the LORD commanded him. 6 And Noah was six hundred years old when the
flood of waters was upon the earth. 7
And Noah went in, and his sons, and his wife, and his sons’ wives with
him, into the ark, because of the waters of the flood. 8 Of clean beasts, and of beasts that are not
clean, and of fowls, and of every thing that creepeth upon the earth, 9 There went in two and two unto Noah into the
ark, the male and the female, as God had commanded Noah. 10 And it came to pass after seven days, that
the waters of the flood were upon the earth.
11 ¶
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. 12 And the rain was upon the earth forty days
and forty nights.
The earth was covered with the water from both rain
and from the eruption of great fountains of water under the earth’s crust.
Skeptics used to ask where did this water from underneath come from and where
did it go after the Flood. Those whose faith was solid did not worry about this
question as they should not worry so much about any question regarding the
Bible’s accuracy. If science is diligent it may catch up to the Bible in each
point of question.
Scientists now believe that there is enough water
under the ground to cover the continents in 600 feet of water if it were above
the ground, according to a November 17, 2015 news article on The Christian
Science Monitor website. (25) A March 12, 2014 article on the Scientific
American website also confirmed that scientists believe there is as much water
in the earth’s mantle in a particular zone as there is in the earth’s oceans. (26)
God brought to the ark the creatures that He wanted
preserved and in the six hundredth year of Noah’s life the deluge began.
