it never rained on earth when Noah buit the Ark? I know it was the desert and all , but how was there any water to be had , for drinking or to grow anything at all...? they must have grown some sort of grain . Did they have elaborate channels from rivers and lakes , how did lakes and rivers not dry up without rainwater to replenish them..?
Go back and read Genesis..(2:4-7)
"These are the generations of the heavens and of the earth when they were created, in the day that the Lord God made the earth and the heavens, And every plant of the field before it was in the earth, and every herb of the field before it grew: for the Lord God ------ahd not caused it to rain upon the earth,----and their was not a man to till the ground.------but there went up a mist from the earth, and watered the whole face of the ground. And the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul"
If you keep reading you will find out that Eden had a river flowing out of it that formed 4 other rivers..the Pison, Gihon, Hiddekel, and the Euphrates.
Does not say how big and numerous "oceans" were, but rivers definitely flowed and the earth was watered and it had not rained..
I believe the "Oceans" filled up/got hugh when the vapor canopy surrounding the earth collapsed and became rain at the flood of Noah...
"in the six hundreth year of Noah's life, in the second month, the seventeenth day of the month ,(hows that for accuracy.. ) the same day were all the fountains of the great deep broken up, AND THE WINDOWS OF HEAVEN WERE OPENED."
When the flood was over, the water receeded back into the "deep" but the water from the "windows of heaven" had nowhere to go but become deeper seas...
