Even with it raining that hard the platforms would be in a constant state of excess water, Remember,it took just 40 days to rain 29,000 feet since the Ark would be above the clouds after the rain stopped they would have to have some way to survive it would be pretty cold as it is at that altitude. Then when all this rain stopped, the waters evaporation rate would be so strong it would be impossibel to survive in such a structure. The platforms would break down. The waters of the oceans would be less saline and a lot of sea life could not survive for that amount of time. It takes a pretty big stretch of the imagination to swallow that,so their point is just silly in my understanding. It is their belief, and like a spouse who makes excuses for their unfaithful one,even when they have a picture of them cheating, will say, Oh, he (or she) was just, _________fill in the blanks. It is so important to them they need the story to fit their desires.
