That depends on where the water was initially. If you put half the water in
the oceans into suspension in the atmosphere, there is plenty.

I don't think the atmosphere can hold that much water...

Water molecules weigh 18 amu, which is significantly lighter than the two
most common molecules in the atmosphere, N2 at 28 amu and O2 at 32 amu. In
an unstirred atmosphere with no particulate content, ALL the water would be
above the O2 and N2. Now what exactly makes you thing the atmosphere can't
hold that much water?

In this case, you have to deal with the total supertonnage of water
in vapor form in the atmosphere represented by 600,000,000 (600
million) cubic *kilometers* of water ("half the water in the oceans).

Consider the significant blockage of sunlight, the increased air
pressure at the land surface, and the total energy release of
600,000,000,000,000,000 liters of water dropping an average of
a few kilometers to the land surface. We're talking a Category
500 hurricane across the whole planet.



...Which begs the question of why it all rained out all at once that one
time...

Possibly the sudden introduction of particulate matter around which water
molecules could condense. This could be from one or more super-volcanoes or
asteroid impacts.

An asteroid hit would stick out like a sore thumb in the geologic
record, having something an order of magnitude greater than the
Chicxulub asteroid within the immediate geologic past (that is,
less than 10,000 years ago).

As for supervolcanos, none fit the time frame:

...and how long it took to evaporate again ... and why it doesn't go on
evaporating...

Obviously it didn't evaporate again. It's all in the oceans now, remember.

Meaning that, before the Flood, we had a greenhouse atmosphere that
makes current global climate like a freeze-dried wonder.



...In short, that hypothesis is nonsense.

In shorter, wrong. Try again.
