Davidjay: "Notice how I always answer queries"
I posted this to Davidjay a couple of times (see Message 3) and prodded him for an answer a dozen times. He has never come up with a meaningful reply.
Coyote writes:
My own archaeological research disproves the global flood ca. 4500 years ago. Research by my colleagues disproves it thousands of times over.
In my research I have continuity of human cultures from before to after the date of the flood, and most importantly I have mitochondrial DNA of the same type extending from before to after that date. If there was such a flood, the earlier mtDNA haplotype would be eliminated, to be replaced by a type from the Middle East.
A few other little details: there is no evidence of the erosional or depositional features that would necessarily associate with such a flood in the area I study.
But if you truly want to see the features left by flood erosion, google "channeled scablands" and look at the images. Some notable examples are from central and eastern Washington:
The nice thing about the flood evidence in Washington is that we can date the events and we know the cause! They occurred between 18,000 and 13,000 years ago, and resulted from formation and breakage of ice dams upstream.
Oh, and this evidence is about three or four times older than the purported global flood. How is it that we see the evidence of those older floods but not evidence of a much larger and much more recent flood?
(Answer: it didn't happen.)
So, don't be claiming that the flood is TRVE history. It is a belief, not a fact.
So, Davidjay, here's your big chance to "prove" the global flood ca. 4500 years ago. But you should be aware that all the mathematical models you can concoct won't overturn the huge amounts of real-world evidence that shows there was no such flood.
Maybe you could also address my archaeological research, cited above--which you ignored on the previous thread?
Your continual avoidance of this evidence shows that your claim, "Notice how I always answer queries" is as bogus as the rest of your posts.

Transitional fossils
Transitional fossils are still missing.
Why do you keep repeating this false creationist talking point? It is false, and repetition won't make it true no matter how many times it is repeated.
Here are some links, each of which contains many transitional fossils:

Is Davidjay lying or will he finally answer?
In Message 5 Davidjay claims:
quote:
I always engage in discussions and always prove my points. But evolutionists want me to agree with their false science and false givens.
...
In an open debate, BOTH sides are required to answer questions...
This is good to know, because then Davidjay will obviously answer the question I have been prodding him with for a month or so. As posted in Message 3 of this thread (and in a previous thread):

Re: I always answer, 'Just ask Jesus'
Word salad doesn't answer my very specific questions.
You have been ducking, dodging, and weaving to avoid answering these questions for a month.
Face it, you have no answers to these questions, and can't counter the evidence--and that's clear to everyone.

You are still trying to avoid responding to the evidence I posted disproving the flood (see Message 892, above).
You have no answers, eh?

Ducking, dodging and weaving (same as always)
Eolutionists have no arrows in their quills, and no connected neurons in their brains and no experiences in thier histories, and dont ask the God of wisdom for WISDOM and KNOWLEDGE.... and so can only post one line denials.
And you have still not addressed the evidence I posted to you over a month ago from my own archaeological research, even though I've prodded you a dozen times or more.
The reason: you have no answers to that evidence. Only bluster, bombast, bragging and bullshit.

More evidence
Evidence for a Flood:
Sediment layers suggest that 7,500 years ago Mediterranean water roared into the Black Sea
Evidence for a Flood | Science| Smithsonian Magazine
...
It was this event that Pitman and Ryan believe could be the flood recorded in the Book of Genesis. The salt water poured through the deepening channel, creating a waterfall 200 times the volume of Niagara Falls (anyone who has ever traveled to the base of the falls on the Maid of the Mist will have a sense of the power involved). In a single day enough water came through the channel to cover Manhattan to a depth at least two times the height of the World Trade Center, and the roar of the cascading water would have been audible at least 100 miles away. Anyone living in the fertile farmlands on the northern rim of the sea would have had the harrowing experience of seeing the boundary of the ocean move inland at the rate of a mile a day.

Re: More evidence
No local flood will do it, Coyote, no matter how scary for the locals.
As Prof. Tolkien noted, "The tale grew in the telling."
From 5600 BC until it was written down in various accounts provides lots of time for the tale to grow.
The Bible is clear that the Flood covered the whole earth.
The bible is wrong.

Re: More evidence
When it comes to the historical sciences there is no way to verify your conclusions anyway. It's not really science. REAL science makes REAL use of REAL evidence, and that can't be said for the sciences that interpret the past.
Any field that follows the scientific method is a real science whether it contradicts the bible or not.
Creationists are trying to destroy the reputation of "historical sciences" because of their religious beliefs, not because of some actual faults in those sciences.
Given that, its no wonder we accuse creationists of being anti-science.

Re: I've proved it a million times already
How could an argument about the strata or biological facts be from faith?
The same way you hand-wave away all of the evidence on dating: If it disproves your beliefs you don't accept it.

Re: I've proved it a million times already
I've never "hand-waved" away your dating stuff. I've said I can't answer it and I have better evidence anyway which makes the dating false. That is NOT "hand-waving."
To me it is.
You reject the dating evidence for reasons of faith and belief, so you just ignore all the evidence RAZD and I have posted.
That's hand-waving it all away, not refuting it or researching it or anything else.

Re: I've proved it a million times already
The "working hypothesis" is known as Uniformitarianism and since we know things were very very different before the Flood, immensely more favorable to growing things, we ain't buying it.
The "flood" is an unevidence assumption (belief), and can't be used in a rational argument.
Particularly when we have evidence from before, during, and after that time period that conclusively disproves any such flood.
You seem to be confusing belief with evidence.
