Climate change almost certainly helped create the storm but the flooding was caused by ignorance and greed; on constantly voting down zoning and building regulations.

You believe in God you say? He created the universe, and He could have hid the (objective)evidence of a flood from us. Which is what I think happened. God wants us to believe by faith, what good then would evidence serve us?
Seeing that you believe in god(small g for you), this is one scenario that could have happened. Saying it didn't happen as absolute is not really faithful, or scientific minded of you.
Then you are marketing a vile, evil, dishonest God who is also not really very smart or effective. As I pointed out in Message 46 the God you claim and market is really really stupid.
Part of the evidence that shows there was no world-wide flood during the time humans have existed are the cultures that continue uninterrupted by the Biblical Flood. Part of hiding the evidence then was creating populations that replaced everything that was killed so there was not interruption to the civilizations or even their mythos.
Your God created flood that no one noticed.
Pretty pitiful.
rr writes:
And we always are able to see that evidence........said no one ever.
Yes, we are able to see the evidence.
There has never been a world-wide flood during the time humans existed. Remember, all it takes is one single example of something that must have been effected by the flood but has not been effected.

Then perhaps we can avoid such ridiculous misrepresentations in the future.

Genisis7:20 Two of every kind of bird, of every kind of animal and of every kind of creature that moves along the ground will come to you to be kept alive.
So, not exactly a crowd of those local species prepared to tolerate human company arriving only when the rain got really bad. Even if we ignore the parallel account (which has distinct differences) you have to have pairs (and only pairs) of all species and the whole thing has to happen in a day. Obviously if there were simply an instinct to find shelter with humans you would just get the species living in the immediate area, and pretty much every single one of them - not just a pair,
So, no, that doesn't fit the story (and to the extent it does, it makes a lot more sense for a local Flood - only species living close to the Ark are even possibly going to get in)

Re: Close enough to the topic
Thermodynamics. You may not realize that steam and water were the drivers of the industrial revolution. We know a lot about water in various states. If the water was in the atmosphere the temperature and pressure required to keep it there would make the Earth uninhabitable. If the water came from outside the atmosphere the heat released by loss of potential energy would make the Earth uninhabitable. Except, of course, for a few thermophilic bacteria.

For the nth time, I am not saying there was a flood. I said Harvey the Hawk is direct evidence that part of the story of the great flood is true. Can you debate that maybe?
I don't debate the absurdly ridiculous. "Oh, look, it's raining, evidence of the flood."
There is evidence of a flood, we just choose to ignore it, because there is more evidence there wasn't a flood. Too many people in here say there is NO evidence.
If you pick and choose your evidence then anything can seem true. Seashells on a mountain top are evidence of the flood, as long as you ignore all the other evidence. Incomplete evidence points in the wrong direction all the time - it's why so many innocent people are in jail. Your ability to assemble a grouping of incomplete evidence doesn't make the flood any less impossible than it already is.

Agreed.
Then you are marketing a vile, evil, dishonest God
According to the Cult of jar. That's not the way it works jar. You don't take your subjective opinion, about a subjective story, and market said opinion as fact. What you've done is exposed how you think, not how the rest of thinks. Speak for yourself. 2+2=4, but your 2's and my 2's are different.
Part of the evidence that shows there was no world-wide flood during the time humans have existed are the cultures that continue uninterrupted by the Biblical Flood. Part of hiding the evidence then was creating populations that replaced everything that was killed so there was not interruption to the civilizations or even their mythos.
Your God created flood that no one noticed.
If biblical dates are correct. I am not a bible literalist, so it is unimportant to me. Or God could have choose to save those cultures and not tell Noah, or whatever. Like I said it's God, the creator of the universe. He can make a flood happen anyway He wants for whatever purpose He wants.
Yes, we are able to see the evidence.
What evidence? How can you see evidence you don't even know about? Unless you know everything.
Remember, all it takes is one single example of something that must have been effected by the flood but has not been effected.
Or a supernatural God who decided it would be best to hide the evidence from jar.

2) It happened before the Flood not during according to the account.
As stated before, this wasn't a global flood. All we are examining here is the behavior of the animal. In other observances, animals ran for shelter before the flood.

OMG yes! Thank you for saying this. This reminds of years ago, and who knows it may have even been you. Someone calculated the amount of friction would heat the water up as it fell to raise the temperature so high as to cause life to cease to exist.
Congratulations bro, you just explained hail. lmao.

About what? That I am not a creationist, or that they are not conducting real science? Either way who gives a rats ass what they think.
I don't debate the absurdly ridiculous. "Oh, look, it's raining, evidence of the flood."
Ummm, let me check, nope I never said that. So was this statement another one of your unattacks on my character? Me thinks so.
If you pick and choose your evidence then anything can seem true.
Who's picking and choosing? Not me, you are.
Seashells on a mountain top are evidence of the flood, as long as you ignore all the other evidence.
Until the other evidence changes or new evidence is found. Aren't we always supposed to be on the look out for a better explanation? Who's picking and choosing now? Who has the closed mind now? Words are important.
Your ability to assemble a grouping of incomplete evidence doesn't make the flood any less impossible than it already is.
Incomplete evidence can do the same thing, as does lack of knowledge.
