How Long an Ice Age?

[AV1611VET]

Meteorologist Michael Oard has estimated that it would have taken only about 700 years to cool the polar oceans from a uniform temperature of 30C at the end of the Flood to the temperatures observed today (average 4C). This 700-year period represents the duration of the Ice Age. The ice would have started accumulating soon after the Flood. By about 500 years after the Flood, the average global ocean temperature would have cooled to about 10C and the resulting reduced evaporation would have caused much less cloud cover. This, combined with the clearing of the volcanic dust from the atmosphere, would have allowed more radiation to penetrate to the earth's surface, progressively melting the ice sheets. Thus, the glacial maximum would have been about 500 years after the Flood.

interesting, but suggestion that you change your motto. I believe in the literal translation of the bible 6 day creation ,young earth, but to say science can take a hike I htink discredits you and it can be misunderstood what yoru saying, if you said something about establishment science being propaganda that would get the point across, but to say science can take a hike sounds like you are saying facts can take a hike, when your issue isn't with the facts themselves it is peoples interpretation and manipulation of them

Uh huh, so what's he basing that estimation on?

Okay ... how's that?

What ice age?? My KJV1611 bible doesn't mention any ice age.

What ice age?? My KJV1611 bible doesn't mention any ice age.

Perhaps It has Boolean standards like mine?

Neither does mine.

 

[AV1611VET]

Neither does mine.

Or a Big Bang?

Well, since we know that today we are in a warm period (not an ice age), and that ocean water never had a 30C average temperature, we know he is wrong. You are much better when you stick to Biblical matters and leave science alone.

Your bible has no "Boolean standards," you do (or so you claim). But I am serious... why do you accept any ice age? The bible would surely have mentioned it if happened after the Flood. I mean, it goes through some details of what happened after the Flood. Why would God leave it out? In any case, science says there was more than one... in fact, we are in an inter-glacial period smack in the middle of an ice age right now. If that is wrong, why accept any of it?

 

[AV1611VET]

Why not? I have Boolean standards.

You see, what you want me to do is be like the person you're desperately trying to portray me as.

Some crackpot that denies all of science.

And since I don't fit you guys' mold (I'm one of a kind, according to mzungu), you guys get frustrated with me.

It bugs you that I hold science to a Higher Standard than you guys can; yet claim SCIENCE CAN TAKE A HIKE, doesn't it?

So you truncate the bit about the Higher Standard, and pretend that I only tell science to take a hike.

In short, you guys pick and choose; whereas I represent balance.

I believe there have been around 5 separate ice ages. They have lasted over a few bunch of million years to around 50,000 years if I can recall.

Just because it is not in the Bible does not mean it did not exist. When Jesus disregarded Joseph as his father when he referred to his Father being the Lord we never heard from Joseph again. That does not mean he disappeared and disintegrated because he was no longer mentioned in the bible and did not exist beyond that point, right? Perhaps God was not ready to spread His word upon this world as it was being created for habitation and for followers to be formed and flourished?

The Bible doesn't mention it... doesn't mean it didn't happen.
The cultures thriving in this period and areas don't mention it (ok, they don't mention anything but what we know from them doesn't fit with cultures existing in glaciation periods.)... doesn't mean it didn't happen.

Well, there is no source that mentions the ice age that happened from 850 CE to 1789 CE, caused by the invasion of the reptilians from Mars.... doesn't mean it didn't happen!

You know I don't see you as a "crackpot" (or your favorite, a "freak in a freak show"), so please don't use that as an excuse. If there was an ice age after the Flood, surely God would have mentioned it. Why wouldn't he? It certainly must have been an important event. So, lets go to your Boolean standard. Scientists says there were many advances and retreats of glaciers in an ice age we are currently in the middle of. Scientists claim we are in an inter-glacial period of the current ice age. Do you accept this? Or are you "picking and choosing" from what scientists are claiming, with no biblical support for any of it?
