Fun with the Flood math.

And on the 4th year it rose again, to confuse people and to show Humanistic Jones that he's not the only person that's tried to do hydrological analysis of the flood.
Dude pay attention. This is a double resurection. Once in the 1st, then again in the 4th.

Hi, Arikay

As I have said before, God could have sent twice as much water if He wanted to --- and the Ark could have been made of balsa wood.

Science does not disprove the Flood.
Certainly. After all, God chose to hide the evidence the Flood left behind. Perhaps as a test of faith to believers or something.

I agree that science does not disprove the Flood, as described in the bible. A non-catastrophic flood with slowly rising waters would have had little effect on the geological landscape (especially if it was a local event) and would therefore have left little evidence behind. It is the Flood Geology introduced by Morris and Whitcomb's "The Genesis Flood," that science has disproved.

You have to remember that there was no more water underneath the earth's crust supporting it like we have today.

Magma has the approximate density of 2.5 g/cm³. Water has a density of 1 g/cm³ (by definition) It would be very difficult to have water under the crust for any length of time, since it's not viscous enough to stay put.

The rest of your post is, I'm afraid, just technical-sounding words with no relation to reality. You have to provide a very detailed hypothesis if you want to convince anyone other than yourself that the earth somehow completely reformed itself purely by the action of gravity and viscosity after a flood. Calculation shows that the heat release by such a process in the time necessary would boil the oceans anyway.

Would you like Him to present the evidence to us, MrGoodBytes?

Oo oo! Me! I want god to present the evidence that can only be explained by a global flood!

LOL --- okie-doke.

(I'm not sure you realize the implications of He doing this.)

Be careful of what you ask for --- you may get it.

No, it just shows it's really silly to believe it happened, since you need to believe in a broken, inconsistent philosophy to do so.

Would you like God to show us the evidence?

Come on, AV, you know that's a silly thing to ask. If I pretend God exists for a moment, I don't "want" God to show the evidence, nor do I want him not to - it just doesn't really make sense.
However, if God hid the evidence, he's deceiving us. You can't claim he gets out of it by providing us with the Bible, as you undoubtedly want to, since that's like saying a murderer confesses if, (although he hid the body, wore gloves while handling the stolen knife which he hid thereafter and stayed silent at the stand,) there is a note written by someone else claiming he said he did it.
And it's still bad philosophy, since it breaks the fundamental assumption that the universe works the way it does - if God's willing to deceive us in this way, who knows what the laws of physics will be like tomorrow, or what they were 100 years ago. It's further bad philosophy because it assumes the Bible is 100% accurate for a reason that would never fly if you hadn't been brought up with it.

Yes, I do, and no, that would not mean that he would have to bring the water back. He would simply have to restore the massive amount of traces it would have left.
