Fossils on mountains and the hydroplate theory

The article says "160,000 feet or about 30 miles".

Are you really going to tell us that 99.9% of biologists have all of this wrong, and yet you don't even know that reptiles live in deserts?

I guess they have it wrong if they consider dinosaurs to be reptiles.
Oh wait, now I remember they were really birds with feathers not scales.

I don't believe he is saying that there is an unaltered geologic column in that. Just the maximum thickness of those systems from California to Alaska.

Here's one you should be interested in. http://www.ngdc.noaa.gov/mgg/sedthick/sedthick.html

Yes, your right. Thank you for the referenced web page.

It being a result of Noah's flood.

Talk is cheap. No evidence exists that opposes God's flood.

Arthur Holmes, in 'Principles of Physical Geology' (published 1965) gave the sum of the maximum known thicknesses of the sedimentary rocks of the fossiliferous systems (Cambrian to Recent) as 452,000 feet (138 km). The Cretaceous system alone has a maximum known thickness of 51,000' (15.5 km). I have done the same calculation for the maximum thicknesses of the sedimentary systems of Britain and Ireland, and have found a total of between 43 and 50 km.

...There is evidence, but you make unfounded assumptions about natural processes changing dramatically (with no evidence) in order to dismiss it.

...just so you know there are a lot of birds in the deserts too.

Not all dinosaurs had feathers, and no one ever said they did.

The whole point of evolution is that the species adapt to their environment. If you do not know that much then your wasting your time. So just what evidence do you have that the dinosaurs lived in a dry climate. My evidence shows a very humid world at that time. Only a small remnant survive an extinction and are able to evolve. Only a tiny amount of the reptiles survived the transition from a humid to a dry climate. Just like in the days of Noah, only a few will be chosen by God to survive. Even if God uses natural selection to determine what species are going to survive.

Gen 7:4 For yets even days, and I will cause it to rain upon the earth forty days and forty nights; and every living substance that I have made will I destroy from off the face of the earth.

Noah's flood is a shadow and a type of the flood that took place at Pangaea many millions of years ago.

What was the climate like during the Mesozoic Era (250- 65 million years ago)?
When dinosaurs ruled the Earth, the climate was most likely hot and humid.

The "natural processes changing dramatically" is the whole reason for evolution. So that the species can adjust and adapt to a changing environment.

"Earth’s temperature depends on the balance between energy entering and leaving the planet’s system . When incoming energy from the sun is absorbed by the Earth system, Earth warms. When the sun’s energy is reflected back into space, Earth avoids warming. When energy is released back into space, Earth cools." http://www.epa.gov/climatechange/science/causes.html

People do not understand in Genesis it is the firmament where God is doing his work. It is in the firmament where God divides the water above from the water below and where God divides light and darkness. Light as we all know can reflect and refract. Even color is determined by how much of the light wave is absorbed and how much is reflected. When you take a photo you photograph the light that an object reflects. There is an eye doctor in NYC that does underwater photography. You have to have that much of an education to understand how water refracts light in order to do that sort of photography. You control color in two ways, you filter the light as modern camera lens are tinted to filter the light. Or you add pigment or dye to control what light is absorbed and what is reflected. The names are backwards: If you ADD color that is the subtractive color theory. If you filter the light that is called the additive color theory.

The sky at the time of the dinorsaurs was said to be a red sky, now it is blue. The theory for why the dinosaurs went extinct was a change in the atmosphere, the firmament or the sky.

"The huge asteroid impact thought to have wiped out the dinosaurs some 65 million years ago may have painted the sky a blazing-hot red and sparked a cataclysmic global firestorm, researchers say." http://www.livescience.com/28582-asteroid-extinction-firestorm.html

In this regard it would not matter. God made the fish and the birds at the same time. So high humidity would not be an issue for birds. The discussion was about scales on dinosaurs and the amount of humidity needed to maintain them. The comment was made that now reptiles can even exist in a dry climate like a dessert. That is the reason for evolution, so that the various species can adjust and adapt to a changing world and to different climates and conditions. Some people refer to this as fine tuning.

The sky when the dinosaurs alive would have been blue, the same as today. According to that article it may have turned red due to the amount of heat in the atmosphere for a few hours.

That could be, that the sky was red at the time of the breakup of Pangaea. Just like they are making a big deal out of the blood moons that we have seen recently. Considered to be a sign of something, even though no one is sure of what it represents.

But that is about the Archean, not the Mesozoic.

That's an artist's rendition of the early Archean, long, long before Pangea.

The sky was blue then according geochemical/paleoclimate evidence, not red.
