N11: The Vapor Canopy Theory
Edited by Greg Neyman
Argument:
Prior to the flood there was a vapor canopy above the earth's atmosphere. This canopy supplied the water for the rains of Noah's Flood
Response:
-
A canopy of vapor would have to contain superheated water, which would have boiled off prior to the flood
-
A canopy of ice would contain enough gravitational potential energy to boil it when it fell, essentially poaching everything on earth
-
The earth would have been uninhabitable before the flood. The greenhouse effect from the canopy would have killed everything
-
The old earth, local flood scenario does not rely on such faulty theories. A local flood does not need imaginary vapor canopies to explain it
