    Somehow I missed your 'equations' last July as that was right as I was
    moving to Scotland. I just took a look at them. I got a big laugh out of
    the 'precision' with which you calculate things.

    Physicists and engineers will be delighted to know that the volume of water
    required to cover the continents by 30 feet of water is
    1.48425503914130532624918453045341 e+6 km^3. Wow, I bet you have counted the
    molecules involved to get that precise a figure. Allen that is entirely too
    precise to be believable.

    And your equations don't even cover the energy of an impact from an
    asteroid. All you did was show what energy was needed to throw water up onto
    the continent. Other than this, you have provided no equations and I think I
    pointed that out to you during our last discussion. While it is easy to
    claim you have shown something, in order to correctly make that claim, you
    must actually do it. You have shown no such thing.
    You never even used the kinetic energy of the object. The word kinetic is
    not in that post. If you don't account for the kinetic energy of a meteor,
    which can be very, very substantial then you have shown nothing. For those
    who want to see this deficient calculation see
