I am a geologist. I went to Rice University in the 70s and 80s, I taught geology for many years, worked for an oil company, etc. The evidence of a global catastrophic flood at the end of the last ice age is overwhelming.



5. The flood that came down is well documented in India and also in the US. In the US we call it the Great Missoula flood. You can measure the depth of the water that flowed down out of the rockies to the Pacific by measuring the height of the "ripple marks" which are small hills. that showed that the depth was equivalent to the 40 cubits described in the Bible. The water came together and flowed through the Columbia gorge which is a thousand feet high. They say that at that time the water flowing through that gorge was equal to all the water flowing through all the rivers on earth today. So yes, this was a massive flood, and seeing at this came from that meteor that hit the Indian ocean it was also a global catastrophe.
Living in the Pacific Northwest, I know a thing or two about the Ice Age Missoula Floods. The source was multiple emptying of Glacial Lake Missoula over a 4,000 year span beginning some 17,000 years ago. Glacial Lake Missoula was formed by a massive lobe of the Cordilleran ice sheet that blocked the mouth of the Clark Fork River at Lake Pend Oreille, Idaho, a result of successive advances of the Cordilleran Ice Sheet during the Ice Age. It was the largest of several lakes impounded by the Cordilleran Ice Sheet in the Northern Rocky Mountains during the Quaternary period.

It's estimated that the depth of the flowing waters that created the ripple marks was 650 feet. The depth reached here in Portland was about 550 feet.

The earth itSelf shows no evidence of a Global Noah flood. What the earth does show are huge localize floods like the Ice Age Missoula Floods.

I understand ripples. I don’t understand how you can look at bended rocks and not see evidence for a global flood.

If I find a model that works, why listen to anyone else? After all, physics is only a model made by man. It can’t be perfect.
This is about geology, not physics. No matter how one imagines how they look in a picture, the actual geology of anticlines on the ground and their exposure through erosion in no way matches up with a Global Flood.

Still has nothing to do with the OP topic.
So when someone asks you a question in a thread are you supposed to start a new thread? The OP is related to Noah's flood and Noah's ark. the post was related to this thread. I don't see why anyone would take issue with me answering the question. After all, I am responding to your post and this has nothing to do with Anticlines either.

So actually address the OP topic instead of talking about them supposedly/apparently/not really finding Noah's ark then. Because is just derailing the thread.
You're new here so you get some benefit of the doubt, but going off on the validity or not validity of Noah's ark itself is derailing.

That did not address my question. I was asked a question, what is the correct protocol, do I say "that is off topic you need to PM me?" or do I start a new thread to answer the question or do I just answer it and move on? I'm new here and your name says "warden" so it seems like you are the one to ask.

First off; do not put too much focus on my username. It's a reference to a sci-fi setting, nothing more.

And secondly, I will apologise since I thought the question was being asked disingenuously, and that's entirely on my end. To be honest, any of those things work really, but I find that adding "... but this is off topic so I'll leave it there." works for me.

But this is off topic so I'll leave it there.

I started this thread. My original post IS NOT about Noah's flood. As I sometimes do, I posted it as a simple geology interest. It's the beautiful aerial photo of the Maverick Springs anticline that originally drew my attention as something geologically related that I could bring to this sub-forum.

It was in post #2 that awstar brought in the global flood.

Technically, awstar tried to bring up Walt Brown's hydroplate theory again.
