This is the third and final of episode of a three video series that aims to completely debunk the flood myth with hard science and simple mathematics
In the previous two videos we looked at how much water would be needed to flood the earth to a depth that would cover the summit of Mount Everest. We determined that this volume was over three times the present volume of the earths oceans
We halved this massive volume between the water that according to scripture came from beneath the earth and the water that came from above from what some creationists call a vapour cloud and got some truly awesome results determining that the vapour cloud would be larger than the planet Neptune and would need a similarly awesome sized atmosphere for it to be a vapour in which due to its size would exert a pressure so massive that at sea level the atmosphere would be liquefied under its own mass and so Noah and Adam before him and the god that made Adam in his own image must have been a fish that swam and breathed liquid atmosphere
Now we have the more energetic problem of what happens when a Neptune sized cloud of water vapour collapses.
It requires energy to keep water in a vapour state and water condensing from a vapour to a liquid will give off energy. This energy is equivalent to the amount of energy required to vaporise that much water in the first place.
Luckily we know exactly how much energy is required to vaporise water, its called the heat of vaporisation and for water it is 2.27 MJ/kg
Now in our vapour cloud we 2,256,558,528,000,000,000 tonnes which is the equivalent of 2,256,558,528,000,000,000,000 kilograms of water which is about one and a half times to total volume of all the water on earth today.
We simply multiply the this figure in kilograms by 2,270,000 which is the number of joules in two point two seven mega joules and the figure we get is in the region of five octillion Joules.
I am not going to be any more accurate than five octillion because I don't really need to. That is such a bloody big number it makes its own point and I would be here all day just saying it. It looks like this
5,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000
That's right it is a five with twenty seven zeros behind it and that amount of energy is roughly equivalent to 1,200,000,000MT of TNT and if that does not sound like a lot then consider this. The largest atomic explosion ever created by man was the Tsar Bomba and that was around 50MT in size.
1,200,000,000MT or five octillion joules is sufficient energy to power the entire united states of America at its present energy consumption for over 358,000 years.
In fact just to hammer it home how much energy that is it is about the same amount of energy that has stuck the surface of the earth from the sun over the last 1,000 years
This could have been a bit of a problem for Noah bearing in mind that all of this energy would have been liberated over a period of just 40 days. It would certainly have taken care of the problem of where did the 26,000 km of extra atmosphere go as that would most certainly have been boiled off into space. The only problem is that it would have also most probably have also boiled just about everything else off into space.
Of course as I mentioned before with the absence ninety nine point nine nine nine percent or thereabouts of the earth's atmosphere up to that point Noah probably had other things on his mind.
We are going to presume that among these was what was going to happen when all the water needed to be evaporated.
You see this five octillion joules of energy was liberated by about a third of the water that was presently sloshing around the planet and at some point all of that water was going to need to be disposed of.
Yeah I think you can see where this is going.
Noah sails around for about a year then in the space of a few days the water levels start to recede.
Now we are pretty sure that those 4,500,000,000 extra cubic kilometres of water are not hanging around on earth somewhere. I think we would notice them after all 4,500,000,000 cubic kilometres of water is equivalent to over three times the volume of water in all of the earth's oceans so I am going to consider that the water evaporated and was boiled off into space.
Now this is where our 2,270,000 J/kg of water figure comes in handy again because if we multiply the number of kilograms of water we have which is around four point five sextillion we get an energy requirement of ten octillion joules or about 2,500,000,000MT of TNT, enough to power the united states of America for nearly 3/4 of a million years.
If you are a Bible literalist or a creationist and you feel like addressing any of the points in this video series then be my guest
I await your replies with anticipation and excitement.
