GEOLOGY REVEALS: One Creation, One Restoration and Two Global Floods

[Paul of Eugene OR]

You can rest assured, the Scriptures do call them floods that encompass the entire earth. Both were acts of total destruction, for reasons I have neither the space nor time to get into here.


Quasar92

You can rest assured there has been no flood over the central highlands of Greenland for hundreds of thousands of years, or else there would be no annual layers going down that far in the accumulated snowfall there.

Same goes for Antarctica.

Since you seem to have knowledge privy to that of the Biblical account as documented in the OP, there's nothing left for us to discuss.

Well of course, its nothing special to have that knowledge, it has been shared around for many years now.

We've been down that road in history, you know . . . there were those who opposed the teachings of Copernicus on scriptural grounds. They passed away and his descendants have accepted the science.

History is merely repeating itself.

The opposition to Copernicus was sincere and biblically based . . . but . . . alas . . . wrong.

It is the same with the age of the earth, the fact of evolution, and flood of Noah.

Do you know that because modern medical science has proven that after you die you can't come back from the dead on day 3.. Did you know that? Heck, you can't even walk on water.

The accumulated snowfall happened post flood.

Well, actually, people knew one doesn't revive from having been dead long before the arrival of modern science.

So if there was a resurrection from the dead, it would have to be a miracle.

 

[Paul of Eugene OR]

The accumulated snowfall happened post flood.

The counts are verified by independent tests of the age of the layers counted.

 

[FrankDux]

There are zero literal worldwide floods in classic Mesopotamian literature

Mesopotamians were known for keeping incredibly accurate records, especially with astronomy / finance and mathematics

If there were such a thing to have happened, there would be a ridiculous number of records of it

The only " floods " you are going to find in classical literature either apply to astronomy ( eclipses ) , as silent determinants in languages like Akkadian, or as attributes of a conquering ruler / king ( An idiomatic expression )

You know what there are a ridiculous number of records of ?

Eclipses

Which were called " floods "

You'd be better off presenting something you could prove

The layers record events of percipitation.

 

[Paul of Eugene OR]

The layers record events of percipitation.

They record seasons of precipitation, with variations due to summer and winter. The ages determined by counting are checked against inclusions including ashes from known volcanic eruptions and organic matter dated by carbon dating. The very air bubbles trapped within bear carbon dioxide that can be carbon dated and compared against the counting of the layers. The evidence is very good.

Independent test that didn't realize it percipates more than once a yea.

Volcanic eruptions don't bother to count the layers before they come into the ice field. Radioactive decay doesn't, either. So the fact they match is further evidence that your allegations are misplaced.

Your radioactive decay methods are bogus.

 

[FrankDux]

They don't use radioactive decay for that type of dating, they use magnetostratigraphy,lol

 

[Paul of Eugene OR]

Your radioactive decay methods are bogus.

I know you have to say that in order to remain in your peer group. But you are still wrong.

 

[Paul of Eugene OR]

Sure they do, when they can get enough organic material, which does happen from time to time. Of course, for a lot of the ice core length, it goes back to many years for carbon dating to work.

 

[FrankDux]

That's the whole reason they use it for dating things that lack fossils

[Sanoy]

Genesis is a description of the preparation of earth for mankind. In that sense I could see the purpose of prior life that is destroyed in a flood and buried in sediment to create oil pockets for mankind's use. For example tar, bitumen, oil, gasoline etc.

What is the theology of a pre-adamic Humanity? Is it derived from scientific dating or are there good biblical or extra biblical reasons to believe in pre-adamic humanoids. I know there are some cultures that talk of other "men" but those are separated by 4 earth ages that at their earliest appear to end at the Adamic age.

I'm not looking for a debate, just info so a link is fine.

You assume the amount of C14 is today what it was a few thousand years ago,

Unsupported assertion.

I just added you to my ignore list.

have a nice day.
