Then show us the scientific evidence.

Go back and read my previous post which shows that the evidence is contained in the discoveries which scientists are just now making. God told us about them more than 3k years ago. It's empirical testable evidence which you, nor any other person can refute (prove wrong). All you have left is to post over and over again. "Evidence?" It's proof of your defeat.

Sure. I have God's Word for it. Adam's small world was only miles in diameter, was only 22.5 feet at the top of it's tallest mountains. Gen 7:20 It had only 4 Rivers which ALL came from the Garden of Eden as one River. Adam's Earth was "clean dissolved" in the waters of a Flood. Isa 24:19

ll Peter 3:3-7 shows that the Scoffers of the last days will NOT believe that Adam's world was totally destroyed (perished) in the Flood. Do you?
I'm not super worried about the last days since Jesus said they would happen before his generation had died... They are all dead so I guess the last days are over.
In any case I asked you if you had any source for your assertion that there is a strange spiral under that Lake and your subsequent assertions that it must be the firmament etc. I can't watch long YouTube videos right now so if you have enough anything else it would be appreciated :)

No magic involved. The Father spoke and the Son brought the living creatures forth all over Adam's world AND the present Cosmos. Everywhere we will go where there is liquid water, contains life, because God (Elohim-The Trinity) commanded that it be so yesterday on the 5th Day. Amen?

The rest of the post was also wrong but this you describe above; Thats magic, as you invoke the supernatural. No ifs nu buts, just pure magic and therefore inadmissable in a scientific debate.

God's evidence is found when we find AGREEMENT of Scripture Science and History. This changes faith into Fact when this AGREEMENT is shown. Here's a good example.
You quoted my post, but clearly you didn't read it, or failed to understand it. And equally clearly we are talking past each other. I'll leave you to your safe, solid beliefs and I'll relish the delights of unfolding uncertainty.

Not so, since the evolutionist view is premised on FALSE data which ASSUMES that life first appeared some 3.77 Billion years ago, ...
Actually, untrue in all instances.

According to the natural science of geology, the first forms of life, as we define life, appeared around 3.5 to 3.8 billion years ago. That's not an assumption, at all. It's based on those fossils found. It's not based on the theory of evolution, either. It's based on the fact that the fossils of the first forms of life found are prokaryotes in rocks around 3.5 to 3.8 billion years old. It's not an assumption. It's the opposite of an assumption.

No,it's based on the layers they're found in, whose age is based on the organisms found in it....

Really? Even if what you wrote is true, it still is not an assumption. It's a conclusion based on what is found. Not an assumption.

Nope. You told untruths about fossils and assumptions. We're not all as uneducated as you are.
Maybe you're just impressed by naturalistic science-ism and their careful selection of data..

You thought "layers" was funny, so there. :)
Again, I see that you're trying to ignore the fact that the oldest rocks containing any form of fossils contain nothing but the fossils of prokaryotes. Fossils of prokaryotes only. No other fossils.

It's not an assumption. It's a fact. Independent of the theory of evolution. For in case you didn't see it before; those fossils are not assumptions at all.

In fact, you're most welcome to directly study those fossils at quite at a few mines and headquarters of mining companies and lots of Universities.

You're also most welcome to do some fieldwork and find those fossils of prokaryotes in the rocks outcropping, too. If that doesn't satisfy you, you're most welcome to drill a few holes to find those fossils as well!

It's not an assumption.

How did they date the rocks then?
You see, stratification occurs when you have a mess of earth and water, and then it settles.
Or it can be deposited in layers by a big stream.
A worldwide flood would therefore leave rock layers with dead organisms in it.
