Welcome to EvC mpb1!

But in a number of discussions at the other forum, a vocal member GRMorton (Glenn Morton) has continually brought up his argument that his vast geological studies prove conclusively (in his mind at least) that the Flood could NOT have occurred any more recently than FIVE MILLION YEARS AGO.

THE REASON: He says the Flood would not have been sustainable and that the waters would have been dumped into a nearby sea within a few weeks...

From my understanding, there was never a global flood in the entire history of the Earth. I have compiled 100 categories of the millions, if not billions, of data points of evidence against Noah's flood at Message 2, please feel free to pick one you may be uncomfortable with and we can discuss it if you would like to. As a side note, some of these, such as multiple conglomerates, came from Glenn Morton himself.

With this in mind, he has expanded his study to anthropology to prove that modern man lived as far back as five million years ago. He justifies this belief using evidences of tools and religion, which he believes date back that far.

It seems a bit strange that Morton would argue that 'modern man' would exist 5 million years ago. Are you sure that he was not arguing that precursors of humans existed 5 million years ago?

Please feel free to let me know what web forum he is active in, I would for one find it fascinating to see what he is up to.

Hello grmorton!

This incredible mistake on the part of Mark is why I came here. I don't want people thinking I am saying such a stupid thing. Mark, you owe me an apology for claiming I am saying such nonsense and then spreading it around the internet. I have tried to explain this to you before but you ignore it.

I only know you from your website, which is one of, if not the, best arguments for science over fundamentalism in regard to geology, and one of the better arguments for a rational approach to Christianity, that I have ever seen.

That is why I was so puzzled. Now, as obviously suspected, it is clear to me from what has been posted that you have been misrepresented by this Mark character.

Please keep up the good work and consider sticking around here. IMO you are a hero.
