Pyramids under Antarctica

Why Do Streams Meander?

Considering how meanders form, I'd say that's even more effort on God's part to do it like that than him just going "POOF!" or "BOOM!" or whatever sound effect would work best for removing all the detritus of the flood.

Sounds like something Batman would be more involved with.

God couldn't clean up His mess for sanitary and safety reasons?

Did He expect Noah and his sons to "replenish the earth" by walking through layers and layers of quicksand, mud, filth, and decayed plants and animals?

OB

What do you think I've been saying here for a decade and a half?

God cleaned up the mess.

And with two exceptions (white cliffs, meandering rivers), He did such a good job cleaning up, it's like it never happened in the first place.

Just like when He took a rib from Adam and closed up the wound.

Not a scar, no mismatched tissue, no nothing.

It's like it never happened.

In fact, had He not documented it, we wouldn't know it.

Not this nonsense again.
Being a science forum where is the evidence of this clean up job.

As discussed in a previous thread why did God miss a spot in the region where I live.

Did He miss this spot too?

Or maybe those spots you're seeing came AFTER the Flood?

Wrong.
The sediment in yellow is a colluvial deposit formed by erosion of the granite intrusion in purple on the left hand side of the map.
The sediment is dated from the Pleistocene era and pre-dates the Biblical flood.
Not only does this indicate there was no global flood in the area but God must have been untidy in not removing this layer along with the deposit caused by the flood.

 

[AV1611VET]

Nice.

Next you'll say Egypt and China predated the Flood too, won't you?

Depends on which year you think the flood happened.

2348 BC

Let me answer the question for Egypt.
Given in another post you came up with the fanciful value of 2348 BC for the flood, the first dynasty in Egypt which represented the rapid acceleration of civilization is dated to have commenced around 3100 BC.

The First Dynasty of ancient Egypt (Dynasty I)[1] covers the first series of Egyptian kings to rule over a unified Egypt. It immediately follows the unification of Upper and Lower Egypt, possibly by Narmer,[2] and marks the beginning of the Early Dynastic Period, a time at which power was centered at Thinis.

The date of this period is subject to scholarly debate about the Egyptian chronology. It falls within the early Bronze Age and is variously estimated to have begun anywhere between the 34th and the 30th centuries BC. In a 2013 study based on radiocarbon dates, the beginning of the First Dynasty—the accession of Narmer (commonly known as Menes)—was placed at 3100 BC give or take a century (3218–3035, with 95% confidence).[3]

I suppose you will come up with the conspiracy theory Egyptian history is a myth hatched by the same evil academics who perpetrated the lie of the Jews being persecuted throughout history.

On a more serious note the dating of quartz in the sediments which indicate the layer pre-dates the flood is based on a technique known as optically stimulated luminescence.

Ah. Late 5th Dynasty Egypt (after the pyramids are built), Late Neolithic China.

You excised the next part of my statement:
"he wouldn't need to rebuild it with scarred and marked little layers that matched millions of years of other events."

As an analogy to the Adam rib miracle he could have left artificial surgical scars and marks as if Adam needed a drainage tube from a post surgical infection... but there isn't a reason to do that.

Thanks for the QED.

 

[AV1611VET]

He didn't.

What makes you think I think He did?

Right-o.

So what's your point?

If you see "scarred and marked little layers that match millions of years of other events," then I submit you're interpreting what you're look at incorrectly.

I can show you a photograph that makes the universe look geocentric; does that men the universe is geocentric?

No.

 

[SLP]

Nice.

Obviously, they did.

There was never any flood as depicted in the bible.
Sensible Christians understand this.

 

[SLP]

No.

Let's see the evidence.

Actual evidence, not ancient lore.

 

[SLP]

Oh, I think the Flood accomplished its purpose.

What flood? No evidence of this flood.

How is it that Noah sending out a dove, which came back with an olive leaf, is overlooked by so many scholars today?

How did an olive tree survive the flood? How is it that is overlooked by so many pseudo-bible scholars today?

Is it because they're concentrating on all that mud and debris that they're trained to concentrate on, and missed a simple olive leaf in a bird's beak?

I take it academia is fuming and smarting because God beat them to the clean-up -- and cleaned it up so much better than their best efforts could do.

Imagine if God cleaned up the mess caused by Hurricane Katrina.

People born after that would be going, "Hurricane What??"

Who is claiming that Hurricane Katrina covered the entire earth with trillions of cubic meters of water in just 40 days?

Your stories are as silly as they are excruciatingly absurd.

 

[Shemjaza]

He didn't.

What makes you think I think He did?

That's explicitly what the evidence shows. A whole lot of individual bits of evidence that indicates millions of years of events.

Right-o.

So what's your point?

If you see "scarred and marked little layers that match millions of years of other events," then I submit you're interpreting what you're look at incorrectly.

I can show you a photograph that makes the universe look geocentric; does that men the universe is geocentric?

No.

The point about geocentric interpretations is that you can present evidence that demonstrate that they raise more questions and exception then they answer when compared to a heliocentric model of the Solar system.

Miracle occurs, but leaves no evidence can't be disproved... however while miracle occurs and leaves evidence of significantly different events also can't be disproved, but it raises new questions about the motive and character of the hypothetical miracle worker.

Are you saying they couldn't?

(And don't forget the decayed people, AV -- that was the point of this aquatic omnicide, was it not?)

 

[Mr Laurier]

Does someone want to address this?

Basically it says that satellite technology has discovered giant pyramids under the ice in Antarctica that are two kilometers by two kilometers at the base.

Ice core samples reveal vegetation similar to that of rain forests.

Conclusion: Antarctica was a tropical climate at one time in the past, and indigenous peoples built giant pyramids during this time.

Alas, while Antarctica was once warmer... there were not yet any people... anywhere.
We are talking about millions of years before the first humans, or even proto-humans.
There are no pyramids in Antarctica.

 

[Mr Laurier]

Okay ... so we have a rain forest at the South Pole 90 million years ago.

Today we have an ice continent.

What happened that changed a rain forest into an ice continent?

Plate tectonics. Continental drift.
