But there went up a mist from the earth,
and watered the whole face of the ground.
Soooooo.... How does that "mist" thing work?
Like this....Before the flood, the earth was watered by a heavy fog, and because the surface of the earth was warmer than today, & consequent vapors so dense, that cool raindrops on the outer fringes of clouds would turn to vapor before hitting the earth.
