For the flood to just cover the tip of Everest within the 40 days of rainfall, nearly 15 cm (6 inches) of rain would have to fall every minute. The most powerful hurricanes will deposit 6 inches of rain in a region in an entire day-- to claim that a wooden ark could withstand 40 days of storms 1500 times more powerful than a hurricane seems silly.

You can't even think your way out of a paper bag, barfman. The rain probably melted all the polar ice caps (as your LIEbral hero Al-Gore is suggesting is going to happen again). That alone would account for a great deal of sea level rise. Even according to your own Plate Tectonics "theories", Mount Everest may not have even existed during Biblical times.
