It is beyond a "clean-up". You are claiming a lying God. I predicted that you would go this route. You wanted to know when you crossed the line. You have more than crossed that line.Good!
God's clean-up program is second to none, eh?
Two problems there. (1) Such up-welling would leave physical evidence of both the up-welling and subsidence that would have to occur. There is no such geologic evidence. (2) Such a process over such a short time would make the earth completely molten and it would still be in that state today.Easy for God. He simply "broke up the great fountains of the deep". Even a small upwelling of the oceanic crust would cause massive flooding over most of the earth.
Yes, indeed.It is beyond a "clean-up".
Just out of curiosity, when God did this:Two problems there. (1) Such up-welling would leave physical evidence of both the up-welling and subsidence that would have to occur. There is no such geologic evidence. (2) Such a process over such a short time would make the earth completely molten and it would still be in that state today.
If magic is the answer then the whole story is pointless. He could have simple magicked the Earth to get rid of peopleYes, indeed.
God also re-floraled the earth ... as attested to the fact that the dove brought back an olive leaf.
Just out of curiosity, when God did this:
Genesis 2:21 And the LORD God caused a deep sleep to fall upon Adam, and he slept: and he took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh instead thereof;
... did He leave blood stains around? and did Adam walk around with a scar?
In your opinion.
Nope, that doesnt work, see post 130.
Learn basic maths and physics.
Works great. Read the account. It doesn't say Mt. Everest was covered, only the "high hills".
That does not make your point correct. It merely seems to show you are not tracking on what I'm saying. I'm saying that one does not usually deposit a layer of SHALE in a "sudden and destructive" manner.
Sudden and destructive does NOT lead to shale deposition. CALM AND UNDISTURBED FOR A LONG PERIOD OF TIME, leads to shale deposition.
Similar for many limestones as well.
It really doesnt matter, the physics and math doesnt work either way.
Show me the math for the "high hills" only.

AV, when did the magic stop?
Nope, its your claim, you support it.
It's the biblical claim. You disprove it.
Which translation do you prefer? Some say the mountains. A local flood, which you seem to be proposing, would mean that an ark was not needed.Works great. Read the account. It doesn't say Mt. Everest was covered, only the "high hills".
It's all "magic", everything.
Well, as long as you are using MIRACLES and not relying on basic science. Much of the water in the deep crust or even mantle would be chemically integrated into the crystal structure of the minerals. Usually not in the form of just a big ol' "pool" of water.
But if you use MIRACLES why bother with trying to explain anything at all? If your answer is just "God waved His hand and it was done", then why bother with looking at what the physical evidence is?
(Of course then you are left to explain why God seems to have provided us with evidence that speaks to the OPPOSITE of what many BIblical LIteralists claim happened).
Upwelling of MAGMA. Hot molten rock. Not quite the same thing.
That's not how it happens. Visit Hawaii sometime. You can even see pictures on line of what comes out of volcanoes over a hotspot: molten rock at thousands of degrees. (Sure there's some water in there and water vapor, but it isn't like it's flooding Hawaii with water.)
And yet He seems to have provided us only physical evidence of the OPPOSITE of what Biblical Literalists claim. Why would He do that?
I'm thinking more of giant lava domes under the sea floor that lift and displace the sea waters.
