The standard response I’ve always heard is that “Fifteen cubits upward did the waters prevail; and the mountains were covered” means that the waters the waters covered the mountains to a depth of fiftenn cubits. IOW the water depth was 18 inches higher than the summit of Everest.

That makes more sense… or something.

Those are the ones not worried about where the water came from or where it went. I even heard one claim that the water magically was 15 cubits deep everywhere - even on slopes. :eek: But that isn’t a common view, at least.
