Evidence for plate tectonics is found in countless places and does not rely on floods.
You missed the point. I was talking about the work of Colbert and his work was essential for establishing the theory of plate tectonics. Esp his discovery of more than a dozen complete skeletons of a primitive small Triassic dinosaur,
Coelophysis at
Ghost Ranch,
New Mexico, in 1947 (one of the largest concentrations of dinosaur deposits ever recorded),
[2] (wiki) We are having a discussion on The world-renowned Whitaker quarry.
We are talking about the work that Edwin H Colbert did on the Rocky Mountain Subduction Zone. "The Rockies form a massive mountain range that stretches from Canada through
central New Mexico. The Rocky Mountains formed during a period of intense plate tectonic activity that formed much of the western United States. Most orogenic systems form between 200 to 400 miles inland from a subduction zone boundary." (Wiki)
There is plenty of evidence with the dinosaur remains spread throughout this subduction Zone to substantiate what I am saying. You claim to be an expert on subduction zones so I am saying to look at the work that Colbert did. Esp what I already pointed out about the floods that destroyed plant and animal species within the geology that we are looking at. The geology that Colbert studied in a number of places including the Ghost Ranch in New Mexico.
As far as the whole earth being flooded that is what they call the snowball earth. The point you made about the foothills being covered has to do more directly with Noah's Flood. That was an observation that he made. As I have said in other posts Noah's flood took place when the
strait of Hormuz gave way and the persian gulf was formed. All the available evidence shows us that the Eden in the Bible is under the Persian gulf. Noah's flood had to have taken place when the Strait of Hormuz failed and the Persian gulf was formed. For Noah his world was destroyed. You may have a different perspective then Noah looking back on the event. If you had ever taken any classes in a Bible College they would teach you how to understand the Bible from Noah's perspective. We are looking at the Bible as literature and College grads today are required to take a literature class so they do not make the sort of error that you are making by not properly understanding how to deal with literature that was written 3500 years ago. My son is in his second year of college and he has already taken two literature classes to get a degree in computer engineering.
