Is anyone here aware that there is so much water in the atmosphere that if it all fall as rain on the earth at the same time ,it would cover the entire surface of the earth with 2.5cm of water and the whole of humanity will most likely be wiped out of existence? This fact reminds me of the biblical Noah. It’s amazing how the sky is able to hold such volume of water and only release a portion of it each time it rains.

well i guess we are very fortunate that these amount of water never fell down on earth and i hope it will never do but i rely on the scripture carrying promise from God that He will never wipe out humanity with water again.

I do not think our sky has enough water, I guess some areas have to be dry!
