   This is what happened according to this inspired writer.   
      
   ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~   
   "In the six hundredth year of Noah's life, in the second   
   month, the seventeenth day of the month, on that day   
   all the fountains of the great deep were broken up, and   
   the windows of heaven were opened. And the rain was   
   on the earth forty days and forty nights.   
      
   "Now the flood was on the earth forty days. The waters   
   increased and lifted up the ark, and it rose high above   
   the earth. The waters prevailed and greatly increased on   
   the earth, and the ark moved about on the surface of the   
   waters. And the waters prevailed exceedingly on the   
   earth, and all the high hills under the whole heaven were   
   covered.   
      
   "And all flesh died that moved on the earth: birds and   
   cattle and beasts and every creeping thing that creeps on   
   the earth, and every man. All in whose nostrils was the   
   breath of the spirit of life, all that was on the dry land,   
   died.   
      
   "So He destroyed all living things which were on the   
   face of the ground: both man and cattle, creeping thing   
   and bird of the air. They were destroyed from the earth.   
      
   "Only Noah and those who were with him in the ark   
   remained alive. And the waters prevailed on the earth   
   one hundred and fifty days."    ~ From Genesis 7   
      
   However God promised us that He would not destroy   
   the World again by water. Next time it will be by Fire.   
      
   "But the day of the Lord will come as a thief; in the   
    which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise,   
    and the elements shall be dissolved with fervent heat,   
    and the earth and the works that are therein shall be   
    burned up."   
                                ~ 2 Peter 3:10
