As those who already know that follow this blog, I believe the flood of Noah was local to Asia and was contained in an area called the Tarim Basin which is about 350 miles by 1000 miles.
In Genesis Chapter 7 verse 11 it states "...The fountains of the great deep were broken up, and the windows of heaven were opened." This shows that the majority of the water for the flood came from underground. But, how much water is there that could have come from under the ground? The modern day Chinese Government has located one of the worlds largest underground reservoirs in the world under the Tarim Basin. Click HERE to see the report.
The best illustration that I have seen was compiled by Fred Haberman author of the book "Tracing Our White Ancestors."

On the left above, it shows the water underneath the Tarim Basin surging up. All that would be needed is a good earthquake to break open the dome shaped reservoir and flood most of the basin. I had to make it big enough to see and know that it is going into the address on the right.
The first thing Noah does is enter the Ark and wait patiently for 7 days. When the earthquake came it was accompanied by rained for 40 days just as it says in verse 4. It produced huge amounts of water that killed every breathing thing there, and lifted the ark above the earth (by earth it means off the ground not into outer space). Then the waiting game for Noah began, the amount of time he spent in the ark was 1 year 17 days, and 7 months on the mountain.
In Chapter 8 the waters began to decrease. According to the Kingdom Identity Bible course page 39 states that the waters were at least partially drained by the Hwang Ho (Yellow) river: "Let us remember another thing; the Chinese historical record, the Shu-King, records that during the reign of King Yao, at a time beginning about the date of Noah's Flood, the Hwang Ho River carried excessive floods for three generations. Drainage out of the Tarim Basin to the eastward would have been carried off in the Hwang Ho River, and would account for this."
I know I am interjecting some of my opinion on this subject, as the bible does not give enough detail to explain every detail of every story scientifically. This is important to be as scientifically accurate as possible because the rest of the bible can be explained scientifically, are we just going to take one story and interject our own baseless claims that have no evidence? I hope not.
I know that my opinion makes a lot more sense then the global flood theory which has no scientific evidence to support such a claim.
As long as Clergy continue to make claims that are totally unrealistic and against all scientific evidence there will continue to be people leaving the churches of America. I pray that all Clergy will think about what they do before giving their opinion on what the bible teaches. If nothing else they should just not talk about something if they have not done just the most basic research on the topic.
Praise the Lord!
