Did the water come from "the deep?" Where is that water now? Is "the deep"
a literal celestial ocean?
What are your thoughts?

You have asked the crucial question. Where did the water come from to flood
the world as described in Gen 6-9? In addition to my paper on Psalm 104,
which is not on the ASA website, I have recently prepared a second paper
showing that this is the
Achilles heel of creation science's global flood since there is no source of
water sufficient to flood the Globe to the extent that "all the high
mountains under all the heavens were covered" (Gen 7:19). That paper is not
in final form, but is close enough to answer your question. I will attach it
to your email, and will send it to any interested reader who requests it.
