Science shows that the premise is false. If you want to call science a mass delusion, go ahead, but you don't get to redefine science just to make yor logic work. And our geese will blot out the sun.

All the evidence shows that the flood is imaginary. The flood is not the topic of this thread. You have had dozens of flood threads to argue about your imaginary flood. You have dragged dozens of non-flood threads into the mud, so if you don't have anything meaningful to contribute about the basics of Punctuated Equilibrium why don't you piss off?

This science is wrong.

There is no evidence that shows the Flood is imaginary. For that to be the case you have to ignore the abundant evidence of the fossils and the strata, which you do by redefining them to fit your "science."
Punctuated Equilibrium is based on the nonsensical interpretation of the fossils as showing evolution up the geologic column. It's nothing but a mental notion, and the Flood explains it a lot better. Which means that PE is a magic trick just like all the other evo interpretations of the fossil record are.

quote: The evidence of the fossils and the strata show an old Earth and evolution, not your Flood. This has been discussed many times here and repeating old falsehoods is hardly going to convince anyone. quote: You are doubly wrong since punctuated equilibriumwas based on Mayr’s theory of speciation and evolution is by far the best explanation of the order of the fossil record. quote: As we have seen the Flood utterly fails to explain the fossil record. quote: Except that it does fit with the fossil record - and the Flood doesn’t.

It's funny that you accuse me of believing in magic simply because I propose migration as a mechanism for a species to move around. You then turn around and propose a magical flood, all without any self awareness of sense of irony. I don't know if I should laugh or what.
So I guess people are just making stuff up when they talk about this invasive mussel species that is quickly invading Minnesota: https://www.dnr.state.mn.us/...nimals/zebramussel/index.html If you live out in the Great Basin the western US you already know about cheat grass which is an invasive plant species that moved here in the last 200 years. Oh, and let's not forget about the invasive python species that just migrated to Florida. Yeah, this is all magic and it never happens without a global flood.

We are still seeing debris carrying marine species from the coast of Japan, along the west coast of North America, initiated primarily by the tsunami following the Tōhoku earthquake on 11 March 2011.

Laughter is the appropriate response when someone asserts a Biblical Flood happened. It's the best response but not until the person is approaching their teens. Generally about the fourth grade; nine or ten years old; is a reasonable cut off point when it is appropriate to no longer humor them and pretend one of the Biblical Flood myths actually happened.

Of course there are migrations, I said nothing about that, what I said was that it's ridiculous to think you can tell such things from the fossil record.

Mass delusion of scientists, you mean? Suggested unironically by the unofficial spokesmouth of humankind's greatest mass delusion? Self-awareness - Google it.
