"5 ) I have answered most of this statement above , but you must also take into account the incredible cooling that must have occurred when boiling-hot water came into contact with billions of cubic miles of next-to-freezing rainy air . You get the picture ."
"Well , let 's think about that for a moment . The earth 's atmosphere has a mass estimated at 5x10^18 kg , and that 's if we count all of it , right up to the troposphere . Three quarters of a billion cubic miles of water would have a mass of around 3x10^21kg , almost a thousand times greater . So even if the heat from the emerging floodwaters was dissipated into the entire atmosphere , the water would only be cooled by about 0.1 degrees before atmospheric temperatures reached equilibrium and no more cooling could occur ."
