Well, they do tend to include a lucky guy who was told by the god(s) to build some sort of a vessel... Just look at other Middle-Eastern flood myths on Wiki. It looks an awful lot like the Hebrews nicked Ziusudra, Utnapishtim or whatever he was called from some other culture and coloured the myth according to their own flavour.
I would not say that. A softer foundation will cause a stronger slab above to break and fracture as it is washed away. An earthquake could easily cause hard layers to break, providing easy access to the softer foundation stone....
Where is the tectonic plate under the Grand Canyon? And since when does a flood cause earthquakes?
What hard layers? What are you talking about? You do realize that the page that you pointed to as evidence of the flood claims that animals were running up sand dunes to escape a flood that was in the process of forming the sand dunes they were supposedly running up don't you? I would think that even you could see that this is nonsense, especially since those animals should have died long before when thousands of feet of sedimentary rocks were deposited below them.
Genesis 7:11 In the six hundreth year of Noah's life, on the seventeeth day all the springs of the great deep burst forth.....
Let's rephrase that, give me documented evidence, not a story in a book that isn't regarded as scientific fact. Or better yet, address the issues raised by thaumaturgy and Frumious Bandersnatch.
and would most likely know his name (given that the worldwide flood would have happened approximately 4000 years ago and some of the accounts date from 3600 years ago -- seems like his name and important details wouldn't have disappeared that quickly among his family).We do not know that the canyon area might not have been a sea prior to the FLOOD. So there might easily be a pre-FLOOD situation, a FLOOD situation, and a post FLOOD situation. Some have suggested that there was a land locked lake which spilled over and drained very quickly. I'm sure that there are other possiblities that simply do not fit Uniformitarianist's mold, so that they were discarded for the bennifit of evolution and millions/billions of years......
So why can't creationists tell us which deposits are preflood, flood and post flood. Saying something "might easily have been" and actually explaining the details of what really happened are two very different things. All you are doing is useless handwaving that explains nothing.
This sounds like Steve Austin's bogus model but there is no evidence for this lake and if the sediments had still been soft enough to be carved into a mile deep canyon it would look very different than the Grand Canyon we see today. It would not be an equilbrium drainage basin for one thing and the walls could not be as steep as those we see for another. Austin's model simply doesn't work to explain the actual Grand Canyon. It is not as totally stupid as his page on AiG on the Coconinos that you were kind enough to link for us, to highlight the absurdity of flood geology, but it still doesn't work.
Long before Darwin published on evolution scientists including creationists understood that the earth is a least many millions of years old as you well know. If you don't know it read History of the Collapse of Flood Geology and a Young Earth by evangelical Christian and former YEC Davis Young.
