I guess I should have added a big grin...glad I didn't bring up the improbability drive.Just remember to take a towel with you...
I don't think I'll bother. Every continent except Australia has a highest point above 5km...<lots of real science type stuff>
https://hitchhikers.fandom.com/wiki/Towel
A towel is the most important item a Hitchhiker can carry. Ford Prefect and his fellow hitchhiker and friend Roosta both emphasise the importance of towels throughout Hitchhiker's and are both known to carry one with them at all times. Although towels are repeatedly mentioned in every version of Hitchhiker's, they are only seen visually in the television series and 2005 film.
Back to the regularly scheduled sparing on the 69 unmentioned biblical miracles needed to keep the Noah whale tale afloat...
The part I find easiest to bring up is the uninterrupted 10,000 years of tree ring research that has no Noachian floody, the 100,000 plus years of undestisturbed reef history that has no Noachian floody; and lastly the 600,000 years of ice rings without any Noachian floody. So just when did this tale happen in human history again? Even C.S. Lewis called it a fairy tale.
