Top Highlights

“Tests have revealed that drunkenness occurs more rapidly at higher elevations—where the air pressure is not as great—than it does at sea level.” (source)

“In other words, it would have taken wine longer to ferment before the Flood. Once the canopy disappeared, the fermentation rate of wine accelerated. Noah may not have expected this change and may have been caught off guard.” (source)

“It is interesting to note that the second day of creation is the only creation day in which God did not say that it was good; yet it was undoubtedly magnificent. So why didn’t He pronounce it to be good? It appears that on day two God did not create; He simply used what He had already created on day one. On the rest of the creation days He brought into existence that which did not come from any previously existing matter or other life forms.” (source)

“A canopy of vapor around a planet is not outside the realm of natural possibility, for such a canopy presently surrounds the planet Venus.” (source)

“This was a covering of water molecules in the form of ice crystals. Mathematical calculations have estimated the base of the pre-Flood canopy at 20 to 25 miles above the Earth. The thickness of the canopy would have been around 5 to 6 miles.” (source)
