I do not see fossils as being irrelevant to the issues of continental drift... or the theory that I am proposing of two cataclysmic events...
I have to wonder if the 'older' appearing mountain ranges are older by about a few hundred years, but they were covered fully in water.. the newer mountains were created when the earth was struck and the surface became extremely elasticy as it expanded into its current positions... I prupose the impact area is the 'pacific plate', and the fault lines or mountain ridges in the oceans are the breaking points of where the earth seperated when it reached its maximum expansion... this could explain the magnetised particles on either side of these ridges...
This could also lead to the assumption that pre-Babylon and pre-flood our oceans were not so deep.

Except that Pangaea had existed around 200 million years ago, and an earlier supercontinent, Rodinia, existed about 1 billion - 800 million years ago. There is a possible even older one that would have existed around 1.5 billion years ago.
And humanity was not around back then.
Our ancestors were therapsid mammal-like reptiles when Pangaea existed, and protozoans when the earlier supercontinents existed.

flood
i know im not a biblical scholar....but if i were to guess, i would have to say that there were probably not millions upon millions of people on the earth in Noah's days.Genesis 5 has Noahs geneology from Adam, and it doesnt appear to me that hundreds of millions of people were on the earth.

Re: flood
But there would have been hundreds of millions of dead humans and animals. Although the Bible doesn't really say how many creatures were alive, there had to have been hundreds of millions-- billions-- of animals to account for what is found in the fossil record. The fossil record, remember, is interpretted by creationists to be almost entirely the result of the flood. Everything in the record had to have been alive at the time of the flood.

Don't get uppity just because a bunch of degenerates and a few fish-things worship you.

it says in the bible the flood lasted for 150 days (genesis 7:24)
im curious as to how long a dead carcas would last in the ocean only due to rotting. And what about marine predators, wouldn't they have be feasting this whole time. just some possibilities.

I wouldn't take the Bible literally. I believe that the story of the flood is not about a global flood. Back in Noah's time, if the flood covered all of Mesopotamia, Noah would say it was the whole world. If covered the tops of the mountains in Israel and Turkey they would the highest mountains on Earth. Of course, it could just be a metaphor that I don't understand.
How can I damn myself?

Nope. They'd be dead. The water would be too salty for the freshwater predators and not salty enough for the marine predators.

Unfortuantely, there would have been no marine predators. All that fresh flood water would have diluted the oceans so that the marine fish would have died. Unless, of course, the flood water had ocean-salinity - then all the fresh water fish would have died. Seems either way that Noah would have had to have pretty good aquarium equipment on that ark.

obviously if someone beleives the biblical flood than they believe that not all the ocean predators died, cuz if they did then none would be here now. There would be no fish and our ocean should be dead by that reconing.

But others have described the events of the flood in ways that would destroy the ocean predators (well in fact destroy everything including the ark.
Without all the events they describe then the flood couldn't create all the geology we see (and can't even with these events).
This isn't a flood thread (just the bodies ). Go to the flood threads and try to get it sorted out. The conclusion is that the flood could not and did not happen. Period.
