dad said:It seems that whether the flood depositited the whole 'column' or not wouldn't matter much. If there were fossils when the 'meteor' hit, it would have been after creation, at least.
There are fossils in the rocks beneath the SilverPit crater I showed here. Since there are several thousand feet of sediment beneath that meteor crater, it had to occur when the sediment was being deposited. That means that in a young-earth scenario, the only time it could hit is during the 'flood' but that means that Noah and company would be playing dodge ball and the balls were meteors going at 20 km/sec.
One question I would have is how do we know it actually was a meteor impact in all cases? For example, how can we determine it was not actually some portal for deep earth fountains blasting up? Also, if a meteor fell in water, far from a populated area, how would this have affected Noah? Also, if there was some Walt Brownishh scwnario at work, and some rocks were blasted, not attaining orbit, would not their impact be much less?
Valkorn did a great job with this question but I would add one thing. With the Chicxulub crater the suborbital particles were so numerous as to turn the sky into a several thousand degree cover over the earth. The sky was so hot that it started fires around the earth.
