So the highest mountain TODAY during a time before, during, and right
after the flood can be different. We also were talking about the earth being
changed as the waters from below came up and came down at the same
time. If the earth separated as it was being flooded the highest mountain
could be lowered greatly as earth parted. There isn't much land above the
water compared to what is below it, so you flatten out the earth above the
water it will be will covered.
I'm not sure what is required about plant life and how long each can go
without dying off, from seeds to plants without God having to do anything
supernaturally.
