The water just went back under the crust to the mantle. And you’re assuming that Mount Everest has always been there. It was formed from the crashing of the plates. The water level wouldn’t need to be high enough to cover a Mount Everest.

Genesis 7: 11 In the six hundredth year of Noah's life, in the second month, the seventeenth day of the month, the same day were all the fountains of the great deep broken up, and the windows of heaven were opened.

12 And the rain was upon the earth forty days and forty nights.

The death on this global flood scale is most likely where our fossil record comes from.

But every mountaintop was covered in water, or else he would have been able to find land.

The mountain tops were created as the separation was calming down. He could just as likely landed on Mount Everest or the Rocky Mountains or even the alps. His boat just landed around modern day Turkey most likely.

Pangea was ripped apart to let the water out from the mantle. Then as everything settled, the water went back to the mantle and the plates continued to move.

And if we all came from 1 family, how come we all look differently

Different races.

Genetic variance is huge. That’s like asking why all dogs don’t look the same.

No

You have a family of 8

Race would be an appropriate term if we couldn’t breed with all humans.

They all look relatively similar

Besides

Black skin is a dominant gene.

We would all be black if that was the case.

No. We’d all be brown. More like Arabs or Indians. But the people groups separated at some point. This is supported by migration patterns.

But it was a family of 8

There would be massive amounts of incest.

Which technically we’re all brown.

I'm white.

Lol you’re brown. Just very light brown. 🤣

Regardless

We all have melanin nigga lol

I’m as white as you are

If I came from Noah, I would be a huge incest baby.

Not really. A family of 4 couples has multiple children. That pretty soon can “intermarry” without being incest.

It’s what 2nd cousins that’s the limit?

But thise 2nd cousins came from different gene pools in modern times

This is a single gene pool.

Those

Yeah. The gene pool is still huge though. Then you add “mutations” after like 10 years and you get differences.

Then with the separation of the people groups at Babel and you get all the variance you need.

But....

They still came from 1 family xD

Regardless. Imagine entire continents moving underneath the ocean to where they are now.

Think of the massive amounts of water crashing around.

Massive tsunamis

I don't think Noah would have survived if that was the case.

The ark could have made it. It landed on top of Mount Ararat(sp?). Yeah the environment was likely a nightmare after the boat landed. Why do you think people lived in caves and were “primitive?” Hard to really advance when the climate is doing its best to kill you lol
