Genesis 7:19-20....."And the waters prevailed so mightily upon the earth
that all the high mountains under the whole heaven were covered; the waters
prevailed above the mountains, covering them 15 cubits deep."  [RSV]

With the water this deep, how could the flood have been contained in a
valley, as you visualize?"
