Peter,
this verse is restating the creation account in order to the flood it is not
about the flood exclusivly thus you cannot make the argument without assuming
it is saying somthing about the preflood world...1 differntly then the Genisis
account and 2. without contridicting that very genisis account

2nd Peter 3 says the "Standing in the midst of water was the source
of the flood, "5 For, according to their wish, this fact escapes their notice,
that there were heavens from of old and an earth standing compactly out of
water and in the midst of water by the word of God; 6 and by those [means] the
world of that time suffered destruction when it was deluged with water."
A water mantle being in place one minute, then falling to Earth would account
for the very many animals, mammoths and the like, that have been found frozen
solid, but fresh enough to eat when thawed, with green grass still in thier
mouths, something happened instantly to turn warm grasslands into frozen wastes
before flesh even had a chance to decay.
Likewise the remains of tropical rainforests beneath the ice caps.
The first appearence of a rainbow after the flood when presumably the light
from the sun would have appeared differantly, no longer passing through a water
canopy.
The change in the lifetime of man from around 900 years old, to around 120
being now exposed to the full radiation spectrum of the sun, no longer shielded
by a water canopy.
Iam unfamiliar with the expanding earth theory so will look this up and see
if said model can explain the above points, better than the Biblical given
account.

1. Personally i subscribe to the expanding earth theory for where all the
water in the flood came from as well as where it went........ As for standing
in the water and out of the water it did so untill he divided the waters from
the waters and then at that the waters were above and below the
firmemant.....so the divison of waters took place at the creation not
demonstratably having anything to do with the flood ....... I personaly don't
belive in the water canopy theory nor do i think it is even nessisary to
explain the per flood world consistaint with the bible....Im not saying it is
not possible, only that i think the evidence supports a much more consistent
and better model.........
2. I belive the stars would have looked differently for serval reasons having
to do with the expanding earth theory...a more dense and clearer atmosphere, as
wellas the fact that the theory also suggest that the land masses themselfs
would all have been in relieve different areas of the globe in relation to the
background stars the they are today. It is important to note that many ancient
records indicate that the stars traveled perpendicular to the solar axis rather
then at 23.44o they do to day. This is not widely known and even those who do
often ignore thisas just ancient "gossip" and do not consider it much. I think
it is significant particularly in the expanding pre flood earth model as well
as Dodwell's curve.
3.The bible tells us that God stretched out the heavens..in 17 places i think
it is....if God screeched out the heavens the stars could be billions of light
years away now, where as when God first made the heavens Adam and Eve could
have seen them from a lot closer.. We don?t know what the rate of God?s
expansion was nor do we know if the rate stayed constant or if he is still
doing it.....We only know he did it. I personally believe that the stars and
universe are far larger then even the current modern cosmology claims.

Adam and Eve seeing all stars on the day they where created, a certain
view is that for the 6000 years since Mans creation, 7000 including
Jesus 1000 year reign before he hands the restored creation back to his
Father in perfection, that we are therefore still in Gods 7th day of
rest, and that therefore, the previous days of creation would logically
also have each been 7000 years, what are your thoughs on this view and
would it make any differance to your model of the small universe?
A second point I have allways been interested in, before the flood, the
Earth was said to be in the midst of Water, yet standing compactly out
of water, and it was by these means that the flood came, or as Genisis
says, the waters above the firmanent, so I wonder, if Adam was viewing
the stars through a water mantle in say the position of the
thermasphere, do you think the stars would have looked differant to Adam
than to us?
Kind regards
