English term or phrase: tidal waves of immense depths
Consider for a moment the unthinkable! Suppose that the Bible were true in its account of a world-wide flood. In my travels, each time I go across the Pacific, I am always amazed as to its size and depth. Scientists refer to the ‘ring of fire’ of volcanoes and earthquake zones running down the west coast of the USA, the Andes of South America, the islands of Indonesia and up through south east Asia, Japan and north east Russia. This has led some Creation/Flood scientists to propose that the Flood was due to an impact with a large asteroid which catastrophically broke the Earth’s mantle (possibly in the Pacific which would explain its great depth), tilted the Earth off a ‘vertical’ spin axis and caused earthquakes and volcanoes of cataclysmic proportions. Not only did water fall from above, but water originally beneath the earth was released with ***tidal waves of immense depths*** sweeping across the globe.
