The reason I joined this thread is not to prove the flood, but just out of curiousity if my theory can be disproved. A lack of contrary evidence strengthens a theory. Can you disprove a global flood at the P-T boundary?
The Biblical Flood has already been disproven. Years ago. Something like 200 years ago, as a matter of fact.
Why should anyone waste anymore time on this?

Re: Bones and the flood
I would like to see a map and/or good descriptions with locations for all these devitrified ash layers and the 'over-filled' basins.

Re: turns out there is no correction to age measurements
Actual dates, if the samples are collected appropriately, are not often wrong, but it does depend on what you are dating. So if you think you are age dating an igneous stock, but mistakenly collect a much later (younger), but similar looking igneous dike, you could assign an incorrect date to the stock. Eventually we figure it out because geologic field relationships often help us recognize errors.
I have not read the paper, but scientists generally only date things when they feel it is important to do so. Besides, it costs money and many times we already have a good idea of the age of rocks based on stratigraphic / field relationships, age dating in nearby areas, etc.
