Not quite. Here's what the bible (KJV) actually says:

Genesis:”In the six hundredth year of Noah's life, in the second month, the seventeenth day of the month, the same day were all the fountains of the great deep broken up, and the windows of heaven were opened. And the rain was upon the earth forty days and forty nights.”
(Gen 7:11-12 KJV)

“The fountains also of the deep and the windows of heaven were stopped, and the rain from heaven was restrained;”
(Gen 8:2 KJV)

And, according to the following articles, there appears to still be at least 5 times the amount of water within the earth today, compared to all the oceans on the surface.

See: http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/2002/03…

Therefore, it is plausible that the water for the oceans, lakes, etc.., did come from “within” the earth – “the fountains of the deep”, as the bible says.

And I think the reason why there were “giants” in those days may have something to do with the reduced “gravity” that existed at the time when the earth was “smaller”.

Hope this helps.

The most common gases are nitrogen (78%), oxygen (about 21%), and argon (almost 1%). Other molecules are present in the atmosphere as well, but in very small quantities.
