Hello, I am back! Are you happy? LOL !
(Excuse my German humor.)
I believe that the flood was a controlled event. Why?
Jehovah set it in motion and stopped it too.
During the flood he protected Noah, his family, the animals and the Ark. If that would not have been the case, the ark wouldn’t have survived the cataclysm.
Consider please the raising of mountains and the creation of valleys as described in Psalms 104:8,9 .
The tremendous forces & pressures, both from the heavens in the form of rain (for 40 days & nights) and the waters below, no doubt unleashed so much turbulence that it would have destroyed the Ark and everything in it. Without Jehovah’s protection everything inside the Ark, and the Ark itself, would have been crushed. Today‘s floods are nothing compared to the worldwide flood. Floods, even local floods, can change surrounding terrain, quickly!
It’s obvious, to me, that Jehovah was controlling matters.
Don’t you think He could? After all, he was the one who created the universe.
