Nothing stopping me? Why would I spend my time trying to resolve their own dispute? I suppose I could try, but I'd likely be wasting my time. I don't think there is a solution for the dilemma they hold.
Also @Tolworth John , investigating the dilemma of global flood believers, and I made this analogy before, it is honestly like playing a game of wack-a-mole.
The moment we begin unpacking an idea, they swiftly jump to another idea. They'll say "I believe X, Y, and Z."
But the moment you target those items, theyll say well no, that's not what I believe, and they'll switch. And you can read it in some of the language in the creation article discussing the topic.
Kt boundary flood 1 - creation.com
Check out this language:
"the location of the Flood/post-Flood boundary should be subject to the principle of multiple working hypotheses. There is no doubt that it is an important question and stratigraphic locations abound. One of the most popular locations is the K/T boundary. Evidence has been presented to support that choice, one of which is a change from worldwide/continental to local/regional sedimentation. However, a close analysis of this evidence suggests that it raises more questions than it answers, supporting the idea that the end of the Flood corresponds to the Late Cenozoic."
This isn't affirming language. It's broad, it's ready to jump like a fly ready to move from a swatter. Multiple hypotheses, many questions etc.
And then the article, instead of clarifying, switches gears and goes on to broadly attack science.
What better way to explain your own position than to just attack others in broad and unclear ways?
And some global flood believers have attempted to resolve this dilemma by suggesting multiple giant intermittent waves (basically multiple independent floods) or waters that come and go multiple times.
Like Kurt Wise for example, he knows that one flood can't logically account for the "1000 pyramids", so he tries out this idea of many floods. Or many "waves" that come and go (where they go, nobody knows, they just come and go over and over).
See around 50 minutes in:
But he doesn't say anything about angular unconformities that are mid "mega sequence". He acts as if there isn't bioturbation of strata anywhere below the Holocene, and oddly enough he doesn't talk about the countless fining up sequences found withing what he calls megasequences either. He doesn't talk about fossil nests or complex burrow networks or tracks being observed literally in the middle of strata suggested to have been deposited by independent giant waves.
But Kurt Wise's ideas are still different than others still. So we go continuing on with our game of wack-a-mole, trying to figure out exactly what it is that global flood believers actually believe.
We will likely never know, because they do not provide clarity. Why isn't clarity found? Because clarity cannot be found in ideas that are wrong.
