If it could be shown to be false, it would not be true. Science isn't about truth, so it needs checks and balances like falsification.

If it could be shown to be false, it would not be true. Science isn't about truth, so it needs checks and balances like falsification.What would falsify the flood? Nothing, something that never happened can never be falsified.

It may have been metal reinforced wood for all I know. No one even knows what 'gopher wood' means or is.
Since the ark had GPS they would have avoided the worst places! Remember, this was not some fluke but a carefully planned operation by God. He was the One that called the animals, and the One who closes the big ark door. He was the One who opened the portals of space and made the water come through. He was right there after the flood, making a rainbow. He gave them post op instructions. The flood was just one rung in the salvation plan for man.
If a blind man cannot see it, does that mean it doesn't exist? Science cannot show God to be false or true. They have a very limited scope and range of things they CAN falsify. God is way out of their range.If it isn't falsifiable, how can you know that it is true?
If every, signle possible piece of evidence is consistent with a recent global flood, then no evidence is consistent with a recent global flood.
Science only has the ability to falsify within a limited area, and any yapping by them about things elsewhere is worthless.That's how logic works. Unfalsifiable dogmas are worthless, and that is exactly what you are peddling.
You would need to know what was recent for starters. Science isn't even able to do that! The KT layer for example was recent. It is comical how wrong they are.Therefore, the question is simple and mainly aimed at YEC's who claim that a recent global flood is supported by the evidence. ..

Yeah, very comical indeed.

You have no idea what to look for. That is like looking for a whale in a puddle on a street, and declaring there are no whales when you find none. Ridiculous.

I think it was closer to 4500 years. The KT layer was likely laid down about that time. So you have no ability to know what happened 4500 years ago! You seem to mean.. 'within our belief based imaginary time framework about when 4500 years ago was. Hey, there was no Egypt or Sumer. You must know the nature and laws that existed to get real dates! You do not. Period.4,000 years, or around there.
What evidence, if found, would falsify a global flood that occurred around 4,000 years ago?
It is comical that you can't produce any evidence to cast the age into doubt. All you have are bare assertions.

No need to cast what you think is 4500 years ago...or a billion years ago into doubt. The times existed, but not when you think. What I cast aside like garbage is the belief based imposition on evidences that science desperately and methodically seeks to impose.
That is a lame excuse to reject evidences. One cannot impose a physical only set of rules for God and His works, nor the past! To be able to falsify, one would have to be able to do that. You can't. Falsification is a pathetic little principle of physical only science, that applies to it, and it alone!If you can't produce a potential falsification for a global flood that occurred 4,000 years ago, then it is a dogma. If any potential observation is evidence for a global flood 4,000 years ago, then nothing is evidence for this flood.
To things that are in the little fishbowl realm of physical only present state science..of course.Do you understand why falsifiability is important, or not?
Objection. Speculation. God made men, not visa verso. You have no possible way to deny that.That is because theists have purposefully made God so that he is unfalsifiable, a dogma that they will not allow anyone to challenge.
Yes it is! God gives proof to those who come to Him. The evidences abound through all recorded time also! The blindness of this world to be able to see it in no way takes away from the world of evidences God gives! The god of this world blinds the eyes of men, the bible says. Only God can open them!Yes, because belief in God is not based on evidence,
What features would a geologic formation need in order to falsify a global flood that occurred around 4,000 years ago?

You can call obeying God any name you like, it is to be accepted.No, it is the very best reason. Dogma should always be rejected.
I didn't claim that.If you will claim that any observation, no matter what, is consistent with a recent global flood then you are impervious to evidence.
Let's use DNA fingerprinting as an analogy. A forensic scientist testifies that the DNA at a crime scene matches the suspect. Under cross, the forensic scientist admits that no matter what DNA sequence the test returned, he would consider it a match to the suspect.
Does the forensic scientist have valid evidence that the suspect is guilty?
So no matter what, you will claim that a recent global flood is true. Correct?
I didn't claim that.
But all I see fits!
Top that.
The crime was done under our nature and laws, so the fit applies. The crime of the flood was not.
Jesus and His Father claimed the flood. I am in no position to argue. Neither is so called science, it just doesn't know it yet!
They need to be in a position of knowing better than God about the past state. They do not even so much as know there was one that was not the same.
Evidence for the things of the past and of God only comes when He gives it to man. You cannot do an end run around Him! So called science is busted.
Jesus and His Father claimed the flood. I am in no position to argue. Neither is so called science, it just doesn't know it yet!Then what geologic feature, if found, would not be consistent with a global flood 4,500 years ago?

It isn't a matter of looking at some feature that may not seem to fit to some men. No man has any feature he can show that does not fit.
It is men like yourself that I disbelieve.Why disbelieve God?
Says you. You weren't there. Men do not raise from being dead, or fulfill hundreds of Scriptures!Those were men that claimed it, being the authors of the Bible.
They were right! So what evidence could possibly show they were wrong? You have none, why sweat it?What evidence, if found, would show that the human authors of the Bible were wrong where it concerns a global flood?
False. Jesus disagrees. If we quote the bible or Jesus we are quoting God on this forum.God didn't write the Bible, nor is God claiming that there was a literal global flood on forums like these.
Go ahead, hit us with two or three.Apparently, I do know more than you because I can easily come up with potential falsifications for a recentl global flood. Why can't you?
No. You can't. We all can collect the same evidence, it is purely a matter of what one thinks it means.Also false. We can go out and collect that evidence, no gods involved.
Well, I have debated many a soul in my time. Nothing anywhere yet says there was no flood.How do you know that? What feature would we need in order for it not to fit? Why can't you answer this question?
God has spoken to us in His word. We can disbelieve man, that is fine. Is my debating so good you have to ask if I am God now!!!!??? No, just a man who has access to His word.It is men like yourself that I disbelieve.
Or do you think you are God?
