why do atheists claim to know all about science BUT don't know that the earth...

...had a water canopy around it? before the flood and that it is the reason for the flood????

here are the FACTS concerning the True Science of the great flood.
1) Earth was water vapor canopy surrounding the earth before the flood.
2) water was stored in small ice particles distributed in equatorial rings around the earth similar to those around Venus.
3) water canopy collapsed (Genesis 7:11, 8:2) and fell as rain.
4) Volcanic eruptions associated with the breaking up of the fountains of the great deep (Genesis 7:11) thrown dust into the water vapor canopy, causing the water vapor to nucleate on the dust particles and make rain. (Genesis 7:12)
5) water canopy would also affect the global wind systems. Also, the mountains were almost certainly not as high before the flood as they are today.
6) there was no such thing as "arctic" and "antarctic" before the flood.

This is intriguing. Please support your claims with evidence.

I'll have to give you creationists this... Your "science" is fun. You guys get to just make stuff up as you go along.

So your source is the bible? That would be why we don't know about your science...it isn't from a science book.

As an atheist, I don't claim to know all about science. No-one does - that's what makes it so interesting.

One of the things I DO know, however, is that when you start quoting religious tracts to back up scientific hypotheses, you sound a complete arse.

Show me facts from a verifiable source that is not the bible.

You usually troll better than this. Where is the hate?
