Permian is its depositional age, but as you said it must predate the flood, the flood must, in your mind, be post-Permian, yes?Permian would mean it was somewhere in the middle of the entire catastrophe which started with a breaking open of the fountains of the deep - it would involve tectonics and flooding - not just flooding
Incredibly so.the pC-Cambrian boundary as the base of the flood is just an idea - it's not my idea - I know it's far-fetched -
Can you back the assertion that taphonomy is impossible using processes in action today? Also, nobody that I know of asserts that destructive mutations or magic are involved in increasing biodiversity. This is a strawman.it's an alternative idea to 4.5 billion years of slow plodding along and sequential thin deposits that would not preserve any fossils and destructive mutations causing more complex life forms to magically appear which is also far-fetched
Please forgive me if I am mistaken, but these questions appear to expose the core of what troubles you- an emotional inability to stray from your interpretation of the bible. There are many, many Christians who have no problem reconciling the teachings contained in the bible with their observational understanding that the earth is ancient and that evolution has and does occur.so if there wasn't a catastrophe of some sort then what authority does the Bible have to believers? where did all the flood legends come from? why were plants and animals so much larger in the past? why do the Bible and other sources speak of how much longer people lived before the flood?
This is an interesting claim, but I don't see that it has anything to do with the topic at hand. However, I would like to see any evidence you have for this network.why is there a global network of extremely well-built precisely-oriented pyramids and other structures with functions we cannot figure out today?
