1) That the Biblical record does have it that there has been tectonic uplifting and that the oceans were once shallow as per scientific observation...
"Scientific observation" implies something someone actually saw and recorded. Maybe "scientific evidence" would be a more appropriate term?
Anyway, what makes you think there's scientific evidence that ancient oceans were shallow?
2) If indeed the Biblical model is true, perhaps it would be impossible to know the element and chemical makeup of a pre-flood atmosphere relative to current dating methodology.
Things that actually happened and were real leave evidence behind, so I don't know why you say it would be impossible to know about things that you think the Bible claims happened in the past. But it would be impossible to find evidence for things that never actually happened.
Since the Biblical record has it that significant underground water was released via the effect of the extraordinary volumn of water fallen from the atmosphere to earth on earth's crust...etc...
More unsupported assertions, no evidence, and you're exhibiting the same pattern in other threads. In a recent post in another thread (
Message 56) you said, "The science of all of this, of course, is beyond my knowledge." When this is the case it is good to follow this advice from Wittgenstein: Whereof one cannot speak, thereof one must be silent.
Way back in 2004 I wrote this to you (
Message 40):

But your lack of knowledge in this area is easily remedied: read a good geology book. I believe this is the same advice consistently given to you all along.
The complaint constantly leveled at you was that you kept up a continual stream of proposals that not only had no supporting evidence, but contradicted known facts and even violated the laws of physics. You then compounded this by not addressing the evidence presented to you across hundreds of messages, by not presenting any relevant evidence of your own, and all the while maintaining that ideas in violation of known scientific laws could somehow be acceptable as good science.
So stop bemoaning your ignorance by saying things like "don't know enough" and do something about it. That way you won't keep advancing "roll-your-eyes" kinds of ideas.
What I said then is just as true today. The same factors that caused you to decide to cease participation here some months ago are still fully in play, and I don't understand why you're back.
