Math, shmath, Jones. It's a matter of whether the flood happened and the properties of a pre-flood planet.

It was the forces of evil which first deceived mankind in the garden and deceived the people who ultimately caused Jehovah to wipe out the world's population....
So god is Geraldine?
...Satan's agent, Hitler....
Oh, so now that someone has pointed out what a dickfart you are, you've decided that Hitler was Satan's agent instead of god's. Nice to see that your various positions are so well-considered.

not calculated by dating methodology.
Nor observed in the geological/biological record. It was of SUCH HUGE MAGNITUDE that it left no trace of its happening.
Correct?

No. Not correct. All that is there is debatable and remains the ongoing debate in the science arena, according to premise and thesis of interpretation of the geological/biological data observed. Both camps apply the same data in determinations.

Buz, while you love to (falsely) accuse others of making blind assertions the fact is that your claim that the flood would mess up dating really IS a blind assertion. And in fact you know that it is a blind assertion - because you never, ever offer any real support for it. That's what makes it blind. All you do is keep repeating it in the hope that maybe someone somewhere will believe it.

This is word salad.
A huge cataclysm that happened at the time claimed for the fludde would have left traces. Much less extreme events have left traces that have been found.
Since no such traces have been found, it is dishonest to continue claiming that the fludde did occur, unless you can show exactly why it left no traces.
No waffling about dating techniques will be honest, unless you can demonstrate exactly why they are in error and why the overwhelming consilience of methods is found.
Unless you can show these things, you are merely displaying the damage that religion does to the human intellect.

Wrong; creationists have to ignore a huge amount of data that does not fit their a priori beliefs, and they have to distort and misrepresent still more data.
And that's not enough; they also have to deny much of science (as that is what you folks do when you make your silly claims about dating).
Your claim to "apply the same data" is false. Creation "science" is religious apologetics, the exact opposite of real science.

Religious belief does not constitute scientific evidence, nor does it convey scientific knowledge.

Re: Flood
But according to the doctors I was dead for 3 hours and 20 minutes.
I'm calling Shenanigans! That is just a complete load of bull, ICANT.
I call it a miracle. BTW the doctor did too.
Whatever, dude...

Let's approach this from a different angle. What type of geologic feature could the flood NOT produce? Can you describe a single one?

I can beat that. I've been dead since 1973. (except for a brief moment in 1981 when Bloomingdales had a 50% off sale on all sheets and linens)

Re: Application Of Natural Events
Math, shmath, Jones.
Seeing as the various dating methodologies use math and physics to produce their results asking you to show your work shouldn't be that big a deal.
the properties of a pre-flood planet
What properties of a pre-flood planet could render all the dating methods wrong and yet still agree with eachother? Show your math.
