Actually, at one time the Earth was rather smooth... when it was molten.

So was there water on the earth before the flood?

GOD separates the wheat from the chaff. Perhaps this is one of the ways HE accomplishes HIS will. Christians are willing to provide considerations that might provide a searcher of truth some food for reevaluation of one's commitments. GOD sent JESUS to provide the final sacrafice, and while there are physical and mental prices to pay for ignoring GOD's tenets. One can still gain eternal salvation by trusting in GOD's sacrafice for one's eternal security. Evolutionists do not always have tests to verify all their opinions.

I believe that there were sea creatures and that they needed somewhere to swim. So, I do fully believe that there was a sea and lakes. It is not possible to determine where, how many, how deep or how big. It does seem logical that the Mediterranean might have existed before the FLOOD in one form or another. Genesis mentions the Rivers Pishon, Gihon, Tigris, and the Euphrates prior to the FLOOD.

Was it ever fully molten or is that an educated guess?

What a very telling statement from a Creationist.
Evolutionists seem to point their finger at Creationists all the time, and yet they do the very same and call it scientific affirmation.

Just the facts Ma'am
Consider the scource of the book who's teaching/history/science/etc you cling so tightly to and the fact those same people (authors of said book) thought illness was caused by either God or demons and the accepted belief of the time was that the Earth was flat and the center of the universe and a dome of stars revolved around the Earth. Are any of those beliefs known to be or thought to be true today? Who told us those facts?
Case Closed!

Yes, perhaps. Alternatively, perhaps this is a comforting nostrum to console those who have no reason-based riposte.
Though these considerations always fall sort of evaluating any evidence that runs counter to their preconceived ideas.
Y-e-s, of course. It makes complete sense that the person you've offended loves you so much he'll beget a son then kill him to make amends.
On the contrary.

Since you have made the claim, please give an example of an accepted scientific conclusion about biological evolution that is the result of ignoring overwhelming evidence.
Threads like this just remind me of just how tired I am of religions. Does a belief in God have to take people's brain cells and turn them to jello? How can you believe this stuff Nipper? Have you read any books that aren't the Bible? Have you read about the evolution of gods/god? Do you really think God gave you a brain to make no use of it? Yikes
I believe it rained and there was a flood. I don't know how anyone back at the time could have verified the whole world was covered with water. To them, the world was covered. I don't think they intentionally lied.
The earth is old beyond 6,000 years. The thing is, if Adam was created, he did not start as a zygote, he started as a man. A full grown man. Perhaps that is the way it happened. God created a planet that was millions of years old. Perhaps carbon dating is flawed to a certain degree. I will concede that the difference would not be that great, millions of years compared to thousands of years.
Some things in the Bible have been proven, like the star of Bethlehem.
Agree
To be unbiased and have an open mind
No, I believe most religions are handed down. Remember people, I said most.

"Some things in the Bible have been proven, like the star of Bethlehem."
Oh really?
I've followed astronomy very closely for over 30 years and have never heard anyone say "they knew what caused the star of Bethlehem". I've heard a lot of people postulate as to what it might have been but have never heard anyone say "this is what it was". I've heard of planet alignments, supernova, comets etc as a possible explanation. But have never heard/read whatever someone say for sure that they have found a natural explaination for it.
So Please if you would share a link to the site where you found that information!

Faith offers no proof other than to support the conclusions of the one possessing it.

But I said Christianity, not most religions. If you do not believe that you would have become a Christian during any time period, and no matter where you lived, assuming that you had read the Bible, then you have admitted that chance and cirumstance play an important role regarding what people believe, not just an honest desire to know the truth. I believe that a loving God would reward an honest search for the truth regardless of secular factors such as time period, geography, and gender. Are you aware that women tend to become theists more than men do?
As far as we know, all religions are handed down, including Christianity. In other words, as far as we know, God has never told anyone about the Gospel message himself. That is quite odd for a God who supposedly wants people to hear the Gospel message, but it would not be odd if the God of the Bible does not exist.

OK so what? I've seen this before, but it's doesn't saw, they don't say, "this is it and that is what they saw". It only describes what are possible events of the time. where does it say "here it is we can confirm what they saw". Nothing 100%.
I just knew I was outgunned when I posted it. :faint:
