The Noachian Flood

Basically the earth has phases of expansion and contraction of the mantle as the earth cools and then builds up heat again. Meaning the earth at one time had a greater circumference than at present and therefore a shallow atmosphere and ocean. Thus, I believe that was the case before the Flood.

The clouds didn't have to be
