The story said that it rains 40 days and 40 nights. And the world was flooded.
The world is round, Isn't it? How come it will flooded? Maybe they don't know yet that the world is round, maybe it's a bed story of our forefathers.
Well that's all for this moment, any comment? Friends?

Lady, you have to believe to know the truth. There is no point of making you believe if you are not a believer. How come the world is compose of 90% water if the world is round? I can't explain further but there is answer to your qeustion when you research it thru the old journals of the world.

why is it round, if it consists of 90% water? Well, it is because of the Earth's Crust which act as a container..
Water or other liquid doesn't have form unless it is placed on a container.
Do some experiment... Get a Balloon, put some water and seal it forming a round-like form. The layer of the balloon resembles the earth's crust that hold the liquid property of water in place.

God knows that the world is round because He was the one who created it and that is in the Holy Bible. The Holy Bible is the Word of God; He just let men wrote the 66 books therein. Science says that if we throw anything above, it would go down because of the earth's gravitational pull and this is the reason why even if the world is round, the water of the flood did not fall down to wherever. You say that the world is round and if we follow your logic, we ourselves would be falling too. Take as an example the astronauts who flew to the moon. When they got out, they seemed to be flying still because there's no more earth's gravitational pull there.

Like all the religions stories they are more like metaphors. They represent an idea of something. They will not say that you have to do something. They will show you through a story what you should or should not do. Sometimes the metaphor is explicit, but sometimes it’s difficult to see it because the story looks too real.
The Noah story is a beautiful story but it’s hard to believe that it has really happened.

The question is, where did all that water come from?
And where did it all go? Think about it. Water evaporates from the earth, condenses into clouds and become rain. If it rained for 40 days and 40 nights, and the whole world was flooded, then where did all that extra water come from? And where is all that extra water now?

Where did the water came from and where did it go?? The answer North and South Poles' Ice Caps.. According to studies, if all ice on both North and South pole melts, the current water level will rise to a tremendous level...
If you would do extra more research you'll find the answer..

Do you believe that the earth is 3/4 water and 1/4 land.If you will believe then thereis nothing to explain about the great flood.The bible says it opened all the spring water and the fact that 40 days and 40 nights it rain cant you imagine how this 3/4 water will engulf this 1/4 of land.Many archeological findings prove that sometimes in the past the world is covered by water.Its easy to believe in reasons plus understanding then you will be freed

But this water is salt water not all come from rain.
Yes if high lands submerge to all sea , then the whole earth is water in surface.
But the nature is always a nature. You cannot change the shape of a mountain.
If volcano erupt some mountain, then it consist only a few percent of earth surface

I do not know that the Noah’s story true or false. But with a few days of rain in certain country, it causes devastation
This destruction after a few days of rain can make Noah story true.

I believe its true... you believe that the world could not be flooded because it is round? well, imagine this, why is it that there is still water in the oceans, sea, etc? It is because of the gravity which is pulling all matter to its center, that is why we can walk on earth's surface...

It is history and I believe it.That time water came and covered the whole earth.World is now also round so water cannot come and flood earth.Nobody knows what the shape had earth that time.Bible also says water can stand like a heap.The flood was upon earth for more than one year.

I think that the Noah's story is a myth. Other cultures speak about an ancient Flood, you can find in the Egyptian, Greek mythology and in the story of Gilgamesh too. So it refers to an ancient fact that really happened, but it has nothing to see with Noah, arks, and so on.
This is mythology, not history.

The Noah's Ark story is historically true.
Our round world (Isaiah 40:22) has a vastness of body of waters (oceans, seas, lakes, etc.) but to think that it did not all spill over, right? It is the same also, if the whole world become flooded it will not spill over because of the gravitational force of the earth. In the book of Job (Job 26:7) it says there that God suspends (hang) the earth from nothing (empty space), and while in Genesis 1:6-10 it says there that God separated the waters from the land.
