I'm imagining that the cultures that were around when the world wide flood not only missed the flood but didn't notice all those mountains going up and down as well?

wouldn't that be deceit on God's part?
Not if it was required for Noah to replenish the earth, as he was told to do.

God would have had to restore the earth back to its original condition, just so Noah and his family could eat; let alone the animals that got off the Ark.

Adam is a good example.

When God took one of his ribs and healed the wound ...

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;

... do you think He left a scar behind?

Because they drowned?

The earth before the flood is a completely different earth.
The earth before the flood was a single land mass with the waters (ocean) surrounding the earth.

After the flood the single land mass was broken up into multiple land areas, possibly what we have today.

Those cultures were all wiped out. The only people left were the 8 on the ark.

Have you ever listened to any of Chuck Missler's tapes, or watched any of his videos?

A long time ago I did. From memory, I think he was basically sound? I know I disagreed with him on somethings - although it may well be a blue moon before I agree 100% with anybody lol. But yeah too many years ago and it's possible I might disagree with him even more now.
What is your take on him?

There was torrential rain in the Land that covered 1 mountain because those particular people were exceedingly wicked above all others. How many mountains are there in the world?

Funny Jesus talks about Noah and since Jesus is the creator I think He knows what He is talking about.

Mat 24:37 For as were the days of Noah, so will be the coming of the Son of Man.
Mat 24:38 For as in those days before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day when Noah entered the ark,
Mat 24:39 and they were unaware until the flood came and swept them all away, so will be the coming of the Son of Man.

That would be like the pseudo-scientific explanations of evolution then Evolution fails the 2nd Law of thermodynamics and basically fails the scientific method.

I will repeat myself on what I said in an earlier post. There were no high mountains and there were no plate tectonics pre Noah's flood. There was a layer of water between the crust and mantle. The crust split sending super heated water into the atmosphere where most fell back as rain. The splitting of the crust created the tectonic plates that we know and love to this day and they began to move crashing into each other creating the mountain ranges of today.

the 2nd law is about a closed system . Earth isn’t a closed system. We get energy from the sun. It would be nice if creationists actually learned real science instead of spouting off half remembered and poorly written creationist pseudoscience.

Plate tectonics started because the cooling of the earths crust caused it to shrink and crack . Since the inside is still molten the sections move around. It’s just simple physics not a global flood that tells you that cooling things tend to shrink . Here’s a picture of earth from 750 million years ago before there were major continents. I put in the location of NYC where it is now to show how much they’ve moved around . That is Africa and Europe pushing up the Appalachians btw

Where did you ever get the idea that the second law of thermodynamics refutes the theory of evolution?

Or that mountains didn't exist prior to pangea?

It's been awhile since I listened to him too.

I love the way he describes the Bible as a message from outside the universe, written in spread-spectrum design and immune to hostile jamming.

Meaning you can tear a page out of It at random and still get the message It intends us to get.

We get energy from the sun.
Then why do we die. If evolution can harness this energy from the sun ... so much so that it overcomes the Second Law of Thermodynamics, what goes wrong?

Living organisms die because eventually the DNA copying mistakes of replacing cells adds up and . The cells division also shortens the telomeres that protect the chromosomes from being damaged . Plants tend not to have growth restrictions the way animals do which is why you can take a cutting from some plants and it will root and form a new plant. You can’t cut a limb from most animals and grow new animals from it but there are exceptions. You might be able to do that with a starfish. And some non-avian reptiles and amphibians can re grow limbs and tails

Ahh the old 'closed system/open system bogeyman'. I am sorry but the 2nd Law of Thermodynamics applies in ANY system you care to make up. We must admit that the proponents of evolution were quite clever to come up with these terms but it is just a statement with no proof or real world examples. Let us make this personal a bit. You and I are succumbing to the 2nd Law every day. Yes our bodies are descending into chaos. We call it dying. When some little bit finally goes wrong enough we go to the doctors and they, being the outside intelligence, fix us up. DO we not live in this so called "open" system.
Evolution is still a pseudoscience which fails the 2nd Law and fails basic scientific method.

But not every human is dying. Some people are being born (or are growing). Are they defying thermodynamics too?
