Oh don't get me wrong, the GhostWriter16 of today is far more palatable than the Domination3000 of yesteryear. Definite improvement.

Given that (as I imagine) the whole water canopy idea was invented to attempt to justify the Flood in the first place, explaining a miracle by the use of another miracle is highly unsatisfactory, especially when a great many YECs and ID proponents alike try to insist that the events of the Bible did actually occur in line with the accepted laws of physics.

It's not an explanation at all. Cut out the middle and go straight to "God did it".

It is so ridiculous that even hardcore Creationists have distanced themselves from it. And that's a rare occurrence.
