The Flood = many coincidences

You dont think its even remotely possible that perhaps scientists just might have their interpretations wrong on some things.

To take this one point, no there is no reason here to think that the scientists are wrong.It says that Ice Age (NOT Cretaceous, but much later) and Jurassic remains were found at the same location. In itself that is not at all problematic for conventional geology, and in fact there is a very likely explanation that can be deduced from the nature of the location - a gravel pit.Gravel is rock broken up into smaller fragments. If a fossil-bearing rock of Jurassic age were broken up into gravel then some fossils - especially durable fossils like belemnites would be found in the gravel itself. As the gravel is transported away from it's origin - other animal remains can become mixed in with it. And so the gravel would contain remains from two different periods - from the time of the rock that the gravel came from and from the time that the gravel was deposited. The BBC story does not give enough information to tell for sure, but it is entirely consistent with what IS said - and the vastly different ages of the remains.

Peg, you seem to be taking a very superficial look at the evidence and then jumping to the conclusion you want without thinking it through. That's no way to get to the truth.If you are really interested in honest discussion, choose an example. Take a GOOD look at the evidence - find the most reliable in-depth sources you can - and present your reasoning.

Uncontested Science Fact #1: The mountains were at some period, formed by some means which requires that at some period the surface of planet earth was smoother than is observed today.

Assuming that this is correct it refers to a VERY early period in the Earth's history, and it has no relevance to the Bilical Flood, which is supposedly a relatively recent event.

Uncontested Science Fact #2: There was a time of significant flooding on the planet.

What are you talking about here ? How significant ? When ?

Logical Conclusion: If the planet's surface was smoother/less mountainous, the volume of water observed in the deep oceans would be such that far more, if not all of the smoother planet would have been flooded unless a significantly greater volume of water was in the form of atmospheric vapor than is observed today.

Making that conclusion would require calculations which you have not done. However since the evidence is that the Earth was NOT significantly smoother at the alleged time of the Biblical Flood or any time when it might plausibly have occurred it hardly seems relevant.
