Re: Evidence for the Flood revisited
It went somewhere "off screen" ...
"Somewhere offscreen". Now that's a great explanation.
Probably "for some reason", yes?
... though I think there is enough rubble scattered around the canyon to account for it,
Oh, good. Then maybe you can show us the evidence for this.
... and I still like my idea that the Vishnu schist incorporates a lot of it although you have claimed it didn't.
Well, if it did, there should be evidence, yes?
Oh, right! Those paradigm conflicted geologists are too incompetent to see it.
Don't confuse your ideas with facts.
How about we stick to things that we know happen? Like erosion. Like serial mountain building. Like cross-cutting structures.

Re: Evidence for the Flood revisited
Thank you for your thoughtful assessment. My scenario does hold together very nicely nevertheless. I can only hope that some day you see the absolute total absurdity of the Geo Time Scale which makes your science a joke.

Actually, the "Geo Time Scale" holds up quite nicely, as do the various forms of dating that support both it and numerous other fields of science.
It is the young earth belief that does not hold up to scrutiny.

Hi Coyote,

When do you place it?
According to the different scholars the Bible says it took place about 2348 BC. It just depends on which one you believe.
I know you don't believe in any # they come up with because you do not believe in the Super Natural or in God.

Hi edge,
edge writes:
As you wish. However, I don't see any of these things producing a flood.
Are you trying to convince me that rain and water from springs could not cause a flood?
edge writes:
Okay, so that's your story.
No that is the Bible story and I am sticking with it.
edge writes:
Well, reading YEC stories does get confusing.
Yes they do.

edge writes:
Hey, I can only know what you guys tell me about a fanciful event.
Nothing fancy about it. It just rained and the water rose for a hundred and fifty days.
edge writes:
Most tsunamis are less than that and do a lot of damage.
Yes, and in a tsunami all the water is traveling in one direction, and is caused by an earthquake.
According to the Bible story the water would have come from every direction and had 150 days to cover the earth. Which no one knows the elevation of land mass that existed at that time.
edge writes:
That's nice. But not really relevant. None of them would flood the earth. And I have been to some of them. Do you understand where the water coming from these springs comes from?
Sure I know where it comes from.
Do you know where the water came from out of the fountains of the deep.
I would say in places like scientists found probing the earth's interior in Asia. They found a reservoir of water the size of the artic ocean.
Open up a bunch of holes in that baby and you would get a lot of water. Since we know that one exists that gives us high probability that there were more before the flood that opened up and the ocean floor collapsed into the cavity, after the flood and that is where the water went to after the flood.
edge writes:
Well, in that case, you are both wrong. There is no evidence to suggest that such a thing happened.
Just what evidence would you expect to find?
Especially since the earth was divided at least a hundred and fifty years after the flood took place.
God Bless,

How can you reconcile that date with the fact that we have archaeological evidence for that date showing no flood features, showing continuity of human cultures from before and after that date, and we have genetic patterns that are the same from before to after that date? And this is from my own archaeological research.

I did. Genesis 6:7 and Genesis 6:13 show that God's intention was "the end of all flesh". Forty days and nights of rain, along with the fountains of the deep, was the means to that end.
ICANT writes:

If you're saying that the fountains of the deep were plain old ordinary everyday springs, you're shooting yourself in the foot. All they do is recycle water and there ain't enough of it for the flood as described in Genesis. Floodists have to make up magical fountains shooting water from magical subterranean oceans to account for the depth of water.

Hi Jon,
JonF writes:
But then you have no evidence of any of those holes producing water in the quantity required. Calling them fountains is just labeling.
As I have said there is no knowledge of the sea level of the land mass at the time of the flood. There was only one land mass at that time.
So can you tell me how much water was required to cover a mass of land that we don't know the elevation of?
As I mentioned to edge there is lots of water underground ,that has been found besides the ground water that migrates to the aquifer.
The earth today is not what it was in the past.

The evidence shows that's incorrect.
The breakup of Pangaea started some 175 million years ago.

I see nothing about eruption.

Genesis 6:13 And God said unto Noah, The end of all flesh is come before me; for the earth is filled with violence through them; and, behold, I will destroy them with the earth.
I see nothing about eruption there either.
But yes the idea was to destroy all creatures that breathed air.

But I am talking about fountains opened up from huge supplies of water as the body of water in Asia. There could have been many of them. The water being under great pressure would come forth through what ever hole was made in the rock which hole was later pluged when God closed them. Later the rocks that had covered the water would cave in and sink to the bottom when the water started to recede so the water could go back where it came from. It would just be above the land mas rather than in the earth.
