The order of fossils in the geological column

[OldWiseGuy]

Stop doing that.

Stop doing what?

 

[OldWiseGuy]

All over the world? Not hardly.

And you continue to ignore so many FACTS that prove your hypothesis is PHYSICALLY IMPOSSIBLE.

As I've often said, life itself is physically impossible (without God that is).

I would love to see how you arrived at this number because it isn't even close.

The total volume of the oceans is 1.3 billion cubic kilometers (Ocean - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia). The surface area of the Earth is 510,072,000 square kilometers (Earth - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia). Dividing the volume by the surface area, we get a depth of 2.5 kilometers.

The above assumes all of the continental plates have raised up as high as they can possibly go so that they distribute their water all over the planet. The total depth of the water would then be a little over 1.5 miles. Nowhere near deep enough to submerge the mountains of Ararat.

The purpose of the flood was to flood the land that existed, not the sea floor. Therefore the sea floors could be raised high enough to actually expose them. They would then become the 'land' and the land would become the sea floor. Because there is twice as much sea area the water depth over the land would be twice that of the present seas, which average 14,000 feet. Therefore the depth of water over the land would be 28,000 feet.

The flood would raise up the sea floors, flood and sink the land masses.

Kent Hovind has a friend that did just that.

It comes out to some hundreds of years ago that the squadron was lost.

OK, at that rate, where 250 feet equals about per 200 years, that would mean about about 2500 feet equalled 2000 years. Now 4 times 2500 is 10,000. So 10,000 feet would equal about 8000 years.

When I ran that past RickG, who used to post here, he justified it by saying that scientists don't take ice core samples from the edges of glaciers (where the squadron was found) because ice cores are laid down frequently around the edges and will give a false reading.

That seems to admit that frequent laying down of snow or ice destroys accuracy of their techniques. That would seem to mean that a flood and subsequent unusual weather pattern (and/or some changes in addition to that) would render useless their dates. To accept the dates therefore would be no more than believing there was no flood and strange goings on, that are beyond uniformitarian expectations?

 

[AV1611VET]

I'm assuming that you don't in fact have a friend that took ice cores?

Did I say I did?

 

[AV1611VET]

Oh, but they'll tell you they have everything corroborating everything else nicely and neatly.

As I said, they have it down to an algorithm now.

And you don't?

The waters were still increasing after the 40 days of rain.

That would be an extra textual interpretation.

At this point we seem to be down to "Ha! parts of greenland have had a lot of snow since 1942! Take THAT evilutionists!"

 

[AV1611VET]

And you don't?

My Algorithm trumps their algorithm.

 

[TLK Valentine]

My Algorithm trumps their algorithm.

You mean:

1. Post random, self-serving wibble.
2. Tack Bible verse on the end.
3. Voila! Instant spiritual truth.

What exactly does "your algorithm" trump again?

 

[AV1611VET]

What exactly does "your algorithm" trump again?

Theirs.

 

[Dusty Bin]

Theirs.

I'm sure that will get you into heaven.

 

[AV1611VET]

I'm sure that will get you into heaven.

Well yours is certainly keeping you out, isn't it?

 

[Dusty Bin]

I certainly hope so, if I'm lucky it will.

So in your interpretation of the Flood, all the ocean floor became dry land? That means that 71% of the Earth's surface was dry land during your Flood. Yet another reason why your version of the Flood is completely survivable.

So you think the entire sea floor rose up thousands of feet in just a few weeks, and then fell back again? And this would be "gentle"? That would require a whole lot of magic I reckon ...

If you want to be a Christian you must learn to take magic on faith, the more magic performed the more faith you need.

You think Chriss Angel could do it, do you?

No, not even Chriss Archangel could do it.
