Space separated the waters from above from the waters below. Before that, according to Genesis 1, there was only heaven and earth, the deep, and possibly the sky.

The Bible does not address the physical nature of "the windows of heaven" only that it is where some of the water came from.

So, if I understand your cryptic, elliptical and abbreviated responses (highly doubtful) then what you're saying is long ago there was a mass of water hovering in outer space, and this water suddenly fell to earth and flooded it, but you have no idea where it went afterward? Is that your hypothesis?

So basically what you're saying is, "I have no idea." Is that right?

No, the deep seems to have existed before space. Also, as usual you have failed to either read my post leading to here or have just failed to understand them.

Genesis 8:8 Then he sent out a dove to see if the water had receded from the surface of the ground. 9 But the dove could find no place to set its feet because there was water over all the surface of the earth; so it returned to Noah in the ark.
13 By the first day of the first month of Noah's six hundred and first year, the water had dried up from the earth. Noah then removed the covering from the ark and saw that the surface of the ground was dry. 14 By the twenty-seventh day of the second month the earth was completely dry.

How does it NOT address that topic? You think all the animals could just walk off of Mt. Arrerat?

I am totally convinced now that the Flood happened!! Why? Because of the "Windows of Heaven" thats why!!! Why didn't they just say that in the first place?! (sarcasm)

Like I said, the typical answer is "God did it", therefore eliminating any and all reasonable and logical response.
From my point of view, a direct insult to God.

No you are failing to answer his questions properly ( you are using cryptic responses) because you have no idea and don't want to say that your super book of holiness is wrong.

The Bible does not address every question that man can come up with. It would be to large a Book to take to church on Sunday (or Saturday).

As I said before, I do not try and reconcile biblical history to natural history.

This flood business by Sandy and others can't explain why there were civilizations in existence before during and after the flood.....who never heard of a global flood nor recorded such an event.....

The Bible only says that the waters returned from where they came not the mechanics of how that happened. The Bible also does not say how the animals returned to their regions.Genesis 8:8 Then he sent out a dove to see if the water had receded from the surface of the ground. 9 But the dove could find no place to set its feet because there was water over all the surface of the earth; so it returned to Noah in the ark.
13 By the first day of the first month of Noah's six hundred and first year, the water had dried up from the earth. Noah then removed the covering from the ark and saw that the surface of the ground was dry. 14 By the twenty-seventh day of the second month the earth was completely dry.

There is no evidence to the contrary in either of the passages you gave.

But there is evidence to the contrary in natural history. But that's OK, you are happy to ignore that.
This is called willful ignorance, a bane on Fundamentalism that is leading to it's downfall.
