@Comment 15 A good idea.
I just did the rough calculation assuming Earth's mean radius of 6371 km, and needing 9 km to cover Mt. Everest. Subtracting the volume of the two spheres leaves you with 4,597,068,190 cubic kilometres of water, or a cube with sides of 1663 km or 1034 miles.
In other words, creationists require an additional 1.5x as much water as is present.
