Trivia If God didn't exist, how do atheists explain that the Earth is the only planet covered by water oceans? Doesn't it prove Noah's flood?

The first question was asking the wrong people. Atheists are only experts in not believing in gods.
It could try to ask astronomers and astrophysicists, who would tell us that so far, we can count at least a dozen moons in the solar system covered in or made entirely of water – some of them in liquid state. For instance, Jupiter’s moon Europa has a liquid ocean covering the entire moon under that thick ice layer. They would also tell you that we know of several exoplanets completely covered in water. In addition, the planet Mars also has polar icecaps made of water ice.
And finally, they would tell us that there is not enough water on Earth to cover the planet.
And that also gives us the answer to the second question: Doesn't it prove Noah's flood? No.
A fairly quick calculation shows that for the Earth to be covered with water as described in Genesis 7:19–20 — “They rose greatly on the earth, and all the high mountains under the entire heavens were covered. The waters rose and covered the mountains to a depth of more than fifteen cubits” — some 3.5 times the total amount of water on Earth; seas, lakes, aquifers, and rivers, would have been required.
What do you think?
 
Ang mga Atheist po...kahit anong paliwanag natin....hindi parin sila naniniwala sa God. Lam mo kung bakit? Hindi yun sa hindi sila naniniwala...kundi...ayaw nila talaga maniniwala.

ahaha sa case ko naman i am theist at birth, katulad mo din ako noon so di mo pwede ilahat na ayaw maniwala dahil dumaan ako sa paniniwalang sinasabi mo
 
Katulad ng sinabi mo... theist ka noon..kase naimpluwensyahan ka.ang hindi ko lang alam kung bat ka naging atheist.

I am a theist also pero I also believe in science. In the vast ocean of the universe, di mo masasabi na Earth lang ang may tubig or life in that aspect. Alam mo bang there are more earth-like exoplanets (exo planets are planets outside the solar system that revolves around their host star/s) that you can count in your fingers and toes? Hindi pa lahat yun ha, yung mga nadiscover lang ng mga scientist yan. Ang Earth, yes it is habitable pero there are exoplanets na nadiscover ng scientists na mas habitable pa sa Earth. And hindi lang natin alam and we can never confirm is if there are life sa planet na yun. Like Schrodinger's Cat (if you know the meaning), you can never know if it harbors life without going there in which in our current technology, walang chance. And that is just what we currently know as humans. Alam mo bang ang ating observable universe (yung natatanaw at nalalaman lang ng ating technology at knowledge) kung iko-compare sa size at perspective, imagine-in mo ang lahat-lahat ng nalalaman natin at nakikita sa universe eh nasa loob lang ng isang bumbilya, hindi natin alam ang nasa labas kasi hindi pa dumadating sa ating lugar yung liwanag galing dun... now imagine-in mo na yung bumbilyang iyon eh nasa ibabaw ng pluto. yun sa loob lang ng bumbilya ang alam nating lahat at nakikita, ang nasa labas eh hindi natin alam kung ano ang naroon... kaya impossible na tayo lang ang may planetang may life. There are more stars combined than the number of grains of sand sa lahat ng beach dito sa planeta natin. Let that sink in. Then halos all of that star, may planets na umiikot kaya hindi mo masasabi na tayo lang ang nilalang na nabubuhay sa universe.
