Genesis 7

"In the 600th year of Noah's life in the second month, the 17th day of the month, on that day all the fountains of the great deep were broken up, and the windows of heaven were opened." v. 11

Read chapter 7.
What earth's atmosphere was like pre-flood is completely different than what we see today.  There was a water canopy around the earth that we see here break open to cause rain for forty days and nights.  This water canopy can be thought of like a greenhouse affect and reason why people lived so long or why dinosaurs were so huge.  Also we see the great deep fountains broken up causing rain from below too like a flooding which would then lead to volcanic eruptions, moving of plates, tsunamis, etc.  So more than just a heave rain that didn't stop, but the earthy was reformed completely.  Yet so much beauty came of such a destructive thing.  What is the most beautiful thing in creation you've seen?  What "floods" in `your life have later caused a reformation into beauty?
