Ahh... I just noticed
@dlamberth's post, but was that battle pre or post flood?
That battle is still ongoing today.
Just severely held in check.
Post flood certainly would've hindered the whole replenish the earth thing, don't you think?
Look at it this way.
You're a fallen angel in space during the time of the Flood.
You're looking down on the earth and seeing nothing but water and an Ark.
In the middle of your victory dance, you suddenly see the waters being taken to "siphoning points" and removed from the earth.
In its place, is a beautiful, clean, sanitized, terraformed Earth that looks much like it did in Genesis 1.
The Ark is sitting in the mountains of Ararat, and a raven and a dove emerge from it.
The dove returns, is sent out again a week later, and this time plucks off an olive leaf.
Earth is absolutely beautiful, but now it has polar climatology, instead of 100% tropical climatology.
You see Noah and his family and all the animals disembark.
You get mad.
Real mad.
I mean ... mad, mad.
You grab an asteroid and hurl it down to smash the earth to pieces.
It hits the earth and ... well ... doesn't do what it was supposed to do.
Something intervened and channeled all that kinetic energy and power elsewhere off the earth.
All that's left is a crater and nothing else.
Sounds fictional?
Did I make this up?
Sure I did.
But at least it gives you some inkling as to why this crater can exist, with no appreciable damage, other than a ... well ... crater.
