Just A Thought - About the Flood Genesis 6

The water during the flood covered the earth to a extent that it rose to a height of 20 feet higher than the highest mountain.

The water would not only have destroyed the surface of the earth and changed the layout of the forests, deserts, seas, lakes etc. but imagine how heavy the water would have weighed. A bottle of water is heavy. A pool of water is heavier. When water is allowed to flow through unnatural areas it destroys and moves a lot of debris. Floods and Storms create havoc to the land. Rivers erode the land albeit slowly because the weight of the water at any particular point is not that much against the rock, but a pool at the bottom of a waterfall is deep because the water is heavier as it falls and erodes the rocks at the bottom even further.

When the water covered the whole earth the currents streaming through the water would have been tremendously powerful and forceful. The currents could have shaped huge grafts out of the land. The weight of the water upon the earth could have been enough to put pressure on the underlying continental plates and with the force of the currents would have shifted into their present positions. For example, the Indian Sub-continent being perhaps once an island after having broken away from Africa could have been forced Northwards by the weight of the water on it, and the currents churning North from around the Cape of Africa could have pushed the island up into Asia with such a force the two continents locked together and the Himalayas were pushed up.

The other continents could have been shifted into their present positions in a similar fashion. Likewise, internal seas would have been left over after the flood; Caspian Sea, Aral Sea, Sea of Galilee even, the great lakes of North America and even Lake Baikal in Russia, where there is evidence to suggest that sea creatures like Seals and certain fish arrived with the flood waters. If this theory of the shifting of the plates is pliable then it raise a different viewpoint of the age of the earth, as geologists, scientists and geography experts currently believe the plates shifted to their current positions during millions of years, but this does not account of how certain types of creatures are found in same geographic areas on different continents, whose evidence does not suggest their fossils are millions of years old. Even Dinosaurs would well have been around at the time before the flood.
