Was Noah's flood global?

[The Barbarian]

I don't know of any method that would date lava to zero. Nor would any method I know about show the same flow as zero on land but millions of years in water. Got a checkable link?

These verses very clearly describe a global flood that covered the tops of the mountains and destroyed all the living creatures of the earth. Only those on Noah's Ark were spared from the Lord God's judgment upon the whole world.

In that land. But not in the whole world. God says the land was covered, but He does not say the entire world was covered. That is a modern revision of His word.

That promise clearly indicates that the flood in Genesis 7 was a global flood.

If we look at the grand canyon they say the layers in the earth were formed during the flood. Then if we look at the erosion that made the canyon they say that was caused by the flood. So which is it, the flood could not have done both at the same time.

Was the rock of Gibraltar Pilgrim or Columbus. It has moved quite a bit. Also it is organic made up of tiny sea creatures. Of course some people believe that happened in a literal 24 hour day. My son has an amazing ability for finding fossils.

The Rock of Gibraltar is a Jurassic Limestone promontory formed from the shells of tiny sea creatures that compacted layer upon layer on the seabed approximately 200 million years ago. Between 60 and 20 million years ago, movement of the Earth’s tectonic plates uplifted these layers of rock to their present position, where they have been shaped by the sea and weather to give the iconic form we recognize today12.

Yes, but not very fast. A few centimeters a year, mostly. Now and then, a major earthquake might move it a meter or so. But not very often.

He does not say the entire world was covered.

I suppose the glaciers did not cover the entire world, but a lot of it for a long time.

I hear the Tony HAWK skateboard park in Heaven is amazing. Now we can get an idea of what a ramp there looks like. Although I wonder if the skateboards there are more like the Hoover boards in Back to the Future.

That sound you hear is Ken Ham's head exploding.

60 yeas ago plate technotices was just a theory. Now it is well established fact because of the vast amount of evidence.

I was in college at that time. Lots of shocked experts, suddenly realized that the mid-oceanic ridges were centers where new crust was being formed, moving the old crust outward. And then the mechanism for Wegener's "continental drift" became apparent. It was a genuine revolution in understanding.

And we are still seeing the rebound of crust after the ice cap melted away:

What is glacial isostatic adjustment?

Glacial isostatic adjustment, the ongoing movement of land once burdened by ice-age glacier, is also called the Mattress Effect.

The magnetic south pole is changing, moving 10–15 kilometers per year.
The only direction you can go from the south pole is north.

NT global Flood

The New Testament teaches that the Flood of Noah was global.

The passages of Scriptures in the New Testament regarding the flood in Genesis also shows that this was a global flood.

Flood models biblical realism

The Bible is the non-negotiable foundation for all Flood models, but where the Bible is truly silent, one is free to invoke known phenomena, but models involving these should be held loosely.

Genesis 9:8-17

When the Lord God made His covenant with Noah, God promises about judging the earth. He promised that He would never again use waters and flood to destroy all flesh, all living creatures of the earth. That promise clearly indicates that the flood in Genesis 7 was a global flood.

Been there, done that already several months ago, my brother in Christ.

The magnetic poles do not affect plate movement or the motion of the Earth. They are the result of convection currents in the outer core of the Earth.

What is your understanding of Genesis when we are told.

20The waters rose and covered the mountaintops to a depth of fifteen cubits. 21And every living thing that moved upon the earth perished—birds, livestock, animals, every creature that swarms upon the earth, and all mankind.… Genesis 7:20

The Bible has many levels of meaning. So it is understandable if your understanding of this passage is different from mine. Although I am open to different theory's and interpretations of the Bible. In fact I do what I can to explain they are all valid from their own perspective.

"Every living thing", "every creature", "all mankind"... The text means what it says.
Even secular scientists admit that something caused over mile-high tsunamis that wiped out the dinosaurs. That it was an asteroid is only a theory... which is very unlikely. An asteroid would cause only 1 wave, but there were several waves...
Again, the problem isn’t the lack of evidence but the interpretation. Did it rain for 2 million years, or did it rain for 40 days and 40 nights like the Bible said? To believe neither would be ignoring the data- that it rained A LOT...

Who are "they?" The erosion was caused after the flood.

 

[Diamond72]

"Every living thing", "every creature", "all mankind"... The text means what it says.

Noah's flood is a shadow and type of the flood that took place at the time of Pangea. 95 % of everything was destroyed at the time because of the change in the atmosphere. Only turtles and crocodiles survived.

 

[Diamond72]

Who are "they?" The erosion was caused after the flood.

Ok then how did all of those layers get there? You are right I do know a little bit about the amount of water pressure it would take to form the grand canyon.

The magnetic poles do not affect plate movement or the motion of the Earth. They are the result of convection currents in the outer core of the Earth.

So magnetic north is not the same as true north based on the axis of the earth?
