Asteroid Strike

Deflection noted.



I believe there was a literal flood, it just wasn't global.

You can disagree with the bible if you choose to.

If simply a local flood..why build an ark? Simple question.

That presupposes the story of the ark is completely factual rather than an important myth redolent with moral implications.

There's more to it than that.
There is the assumption the erosion rate has been the same for 50,000 years.
There is the assumption that rock varnishing has remained the same.
There is the assumption cosmic ray have always been the same.

Sounds like the 25,000 years age had to be updated to 49,000 years. What's next? 75,000

I repeat: What evidence do you offer to counter the information, methods or conclusions of the two papers I linked to earlier?

You need to demonstrate that the erosion rate is relevant, that it is assumed to have remained constant, and that that assumption is flawed.
You need to demonstrate that rock varnishing is relevant, that it is assumed to have remained constant, and that that assumption is flawed.
You need to demonstrate that cosmic rays are relevant, that there effect is assumed to have remained constant, and that that assumption is flawed.*

Until and unless you have done that you are once again indulging in making unsupported assertions. That's fine for a drunken argument in a pub, not fine if you wish to engage in a proper, scientific debate.

I do hope this isn't going to be an endless stream of excuses and empty assertions on your part. I'm waiting for the relevant evidence upon which you base your rejection of the conclusions of the two papers I linked to.

*Note: Some of these are trivially dealt with, others, not so much. Nevertheless it is proper that you address each of them, clearly and specifically.

Jesus thinks so.

Luke 17:27 They did eat, they drank, they married wives, they were given in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark, and the flood came, and destroyed them all.

All those gay people washed away.

If the meteor craters we observe on the Earth were created all at once during the Flood, they would have caused events worldwide. They would have been more detrimental to life than the Flood itself, and the effects would have lasted for decades.

To say nothing of the impact craters on the Moon. There are at least 73 craters with diameters of more than 100 km on the Earth-turned hemisphere alone, and about 200 such craters on the whole Moon. If they were all formed at once less than 5000 years ago there would be an observable ring of impact ejecta orbiting the Earth and we should be under continual bombardment from the lunar material ejected from these craters.

Once again pettiness sets in. You didn't answer the question.
It has only been suggested that an asteroid may have struck the earth and cracked it so the fountains of the deep could be released. If you would like to research it further, click here.

Your link mentions 110 terrestrial impact structures; the author (Andrew Snelling) suggests that 71 of them were formed during the year of the Flood and 39 during the last 4500 years. He mentions the Acraman structure in Australia, which is 90 km in diameter, but there are other structures, some of them even larger, on other continents, for example Vredefort and Morokweng in Africa, Sudbury and Manicouagan in Canada, Chesapeake Bay in the United States, Chicxulub in Mexico and Popigai and Puchezh-Katunki in Russia. If all nine had been formed in a single year they would have destroyed almost all life on Earth, including Noah and his Ark, without any need for a flood.

And let me guess.

Shadrach, Meschach, and Abednego died in the fire, I take it?

Incidentally Nebuchadnezzar said:

Daniel 3:25 He answered and said, Lo, I see four men loose, walking in the midst of the fire, and they have no hurt; and the form of the fourth is like the Son of God.

Do you think Jesus was on the Ark with Noah?

What’s the matter? Are you feeling starved of attention today?

What do you think of this asteroid?

To give the people in the area a chance to survive. Most didn't take it.

It makes a nice story, but it is a history that didn't happen.

Interesting they had to use the world's most powerful computer (Q Machine) to make it work.

As I'm fond of saying:

Without computers nowadays, academia wouldn't be able to keep their lies straight.

Why was Noah aboard the Ark for over a year?

It looks like it happened.... big hole in the ground, shocked quartz, a layer of Iridium, tektites, evidence of the tsunamis it caused etc. What on Earth makes you think it didn't happen?

Pretty common to use computers to keep your "lies straight" these days. Even happens to people who use all of their time blasting science in these forums while using the same technology.

Whatever happened to

Matthew 6:1

The kind of science I blast has nothing to do with the Internet.

You tell me.

Can't find it in schools; can't find it on Judge Moore's desk; have to either get it at home, in church, or on the Internet.

Maybe you should attempt to explain yourself better, what are you saying?

You need to demonstrate the erosion rate ...as well as the other rates are correct. Until you do i'll set false science side.

Where does the flood account say God gave people a chance to survive? Most didn't take it?
