Sanhorn
quote:
Actually, The whale's skeleton was unearthed atop Sanhorn Mountain in the North Sea (an area not known to be affected by shifting plates to the point of 3000 feet of uplift).
Can you tell me where this mountain is - give me a map location of it? You seem familiar with the geology of the area so I presume this won't be too much trouble. Thanks.

Re: Sanhorn
quote:
The only references Google could find were on creationist sites, citing a geological paper from 1829. Sanhorn is not mentioned elsewhere - or in my atlas. I would expect it to be in Norway although there is no way to be sure.
Thanks for trying to find it, but don't worry, booboocruise can tell us exactly where it is as he is sufficiently familiar with the geology of the region to cite it as an example.

Re: She sells seashells
quote:
If you want to know more about the flood evidence (including a mere mention of Sanhorn and the whale) then go to yahoo.com, type in Sanhorn Mountain, and click on "God created the universe."
So you don't have a clue where Sanhorn is, do you? There is no Sanhorn in Michigan - there is a Sanborn, but it ain't no mountain and it ain't near the Northern Sea.
However I did as you suggested and went to yahoo.com and found only "Did God Create the Universe?" - just a weency bit different from "God created the universe" don't you think?
Really, if you're so bad at quoting others that you can't even get that right, you'd be better off coming up with some ideas of your own (unlikely as it seems), rather than making a hash of recycling others'.

Re: Whales was
quote:
You're getting off the subject.
Not really. The subject is "your best arguments against a world wide flood." You mentioned this mountain and went on to indicate that you had some knowledge of the geology of the region in which it is located. The accuracy of this information - the mountain and its location - is very germane to the issue.
We are merely trying to discover - in the spirit of assessing your argument - whether you have a clue what you are talking about or not when you raise the issue of a whale allegedly found on Sanhorn. You appear not to.
You seem generally a bit sloppy about these things and I am trying to encourage you to be more accurate, in the hope that your arguments will improve.
Take our little exchange about yahoo. You mentioned "God created the Universe" - you can see that I acknowledged that from my phrasing and the fact that I quoted your exact words twice. My point, which seems to have eluded you, is that you will not find your phrase "God created the universe" if you search for Sanhorn on yahoo.com, you will only find the phrase I quoted. You see, if thats the kind of carelessness with references which you show when simply telling someone how to find a website, why would anyone assume you take any greater care with any of your other quotes or examples or issues. It is in the interest of your own case that you should be sedulous with facts, references and logic.
Why such emphasis on a trivial mistake? Well, simple really. I would like to encourage you to take more care, to be more original and to deliver more thoughtful arguments. It makes for better debate all round.
So back to the issue with two questions ...
1: Where exactly is this mountain on which the whale was found?
2: From what sources do you derive assertion that this location is in "an area not known to be affected by shifting plates to the point of 3000 feet of uplift" ?
