There was no flood deep enough to cover all the Earth and over the mountain tops!

Creationist flood-lore makes for fascinating reading. In their version of things, the pre-flood Earth was a paradise of one continent, with no mountains, shallow seas and a sort of water globe surrounding the earth. It was steamy, tropical, moist and it never rained. Furthermore, it can all be accounted for by scripture.

The flood was brought about by the collapsing in of the water sphere, thus flooding the entire planet. Afterwards the excess water was dealt with by tearing the continent apart, sinking the sea depths, raising the mountains and freezing the polar caps.

Oh, and all of this happened in the year 2304 BC.

Before we laugh too much, it's worth noting that there are schools in the UK & USA where this stuff is being taught as a science.
